Upcoming 'Hercules' Film Starring The Rock Gets Official Hack-And-Slash Game For iOS

“Hercules,” the upcoming action-adventure film starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as the eponymous mythological hero, is three weeks away from its theatrical premiere. Already, though, its official mobile game has been released on iOS.

Simply called Hercules: The Official Game, the new iOS title is developed by Glu in partnership with MGM Pictures.

Of course, the game is inspired by the story of the film, which sees Hercules living a perilous life as a sword-for-hire after completing his 12 legendary labors.

“Become Hercules, the greatest hero of Greece in the official game from the movie!” Glu proclaims. “Embark upon 12 epic labors, spite the Goddess Hera, seek redemption for your sins, and prove your worth to all of Greece. Swipe your way through the bloodiest ancient battles in the most exciting hack-and-slash game on the App Store.”

Hercules features special attacks and finishing moves, a tag battle system supporting up to theee heroes at once, a lethal arsenal, and a social gaming arena called the Fighting Pit.

Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 6.0 or later, Hercules: The Official Game is available now on the App Store as a free-to-play title.

Hercules is the second collaboration between Glu and MGM, following the official mobile game of the “RoboCop” film remake, which was launched on iOS last January.
