A classic mythological rts/rpg

As a Greek I alway liked computer games based in my country's mythology. Invictus is one of them although not 100% accurate as there are a lot of fantasy features (like Arachnes, a heroine never appeared in Greek mythology). Invictus is a mix of rts and rpg genres. You begin your quest by selecting 2 heroes out of 10 (you can have 4 later) plus some warriors from different types of units (swordsmen, archers, spearmen etc or ever mythological creatures like centaurs). Each hero has his own abilities, strengths and weaknesses. Each level is a huge map full of cities, quests and beasts to overcome. The gameplay is not something new and runs smoothly. You just have to explore each map, collect helpful items and defeat Poseidon's evil forces. At the end of each level you can purchase new warriors or update the existing ones so that you will be able to overcome the harder levels later. Overall it's a good game. It's not something new or something that will make you go crazy but it's addictive, fun and will keep you playing for many many hours. After all, a well-made mythological strategy game for %5.99 it's a bargain, isn't it?

Painful

Even by the standards of the time, this game had a painful UI. It was the first game I ever bought that made me scream in frustration and want my money back -- so maybe it can be traced back as an ancestor to what is currently wrong with gaming, but that probably doesn't warrant its place here. GOG, this game is Old, but it surely isn't Good.

Extremely disappointing.

I purchased this game when it first came out with very high hopes, being a lover of mythology. The interface was terrible, I found movement clunky and controlling units frustrating. I loved the box it came in, the artwork, and the game booklet. I'd really been looking forward to this game, but I couldn't get over its weaknesses. Major letdown.

Great game, insanely buggy GOG release.

Game's quirky, and a lot of fun but the GOG release isn't very good. I had it crash on me in later levels to a point of inability to finish it. I will definitely come back to it again!
