The visitors went ahead on the first minute with Willie Overtoom scoring, but RKC levelled just before the break through Florian Jozefzoon.
Heracles remain without a win to their name so far this term, with two draws and two losses from their opening four games.
NAC Breda are also winless after four games as they drew 1-1 at home to
FC Utrecht.
Alex Schalk put them ahead after 35-minutes, but they could not hang on for all three points as Alexander Gerndt fired with 17-minutes left.
