Hermes 4: Tricks of Thanatos – continuation of the story about the young god Hermes, who confronts Thanatos. The God of Death wants to become the ruler of the earthly world, although he is already the king of death. His intentions are deadly and will create many problems for both ordinary residents and Olympus. Thanatos steals a powerful relic – the Ether of Solar Breath. The artifact will allow you to dry up the River Styx, along which souls move.

The only place separating the two worlds: the living and the dead, may be destroyed due to the tricks of Thanatos. If this happens, the line between realities will be erased and unknown consequences will occur. Divine beings like Ares, Apollo, Niobe and Hermes join forces to stop the god of death. The first difficulty is the escaped souls from Charon's boat. First, they will need to find them and return them, and then begin to deal with the general problem.

The main character will also be helped by the supreme god Zeus, who is capable of removing many obstacles in the path of Hermes. Each deity will contribute their efforts to achieve a common goal. The central character will only need to ask them for a favor. Artemis will show the right path and disperse the Stymphalian birds, and Demeter will stop the drought and destruction of vegetation. Ares, the god of war, is capable of destroying the minions of Hades and other opponents. The gameplay consists of 65 levels with three difficulty levels: expert, beginner and relax.
