Please add this game. It's from the same developers that did Submarine Titans which is already on this site.
This is an RTS game with a unique twist: all combat takes place at sea. You can even customize ships with weapons, armor, and crew. Some ships will be good at destroying buildings, others ships, and others at killing the enemy crews. You can also capture enemy ships by taking them over, and then sending them back to your shipyards for repairs. There is also a magic system in place. The setting takes place in Greek mythology. You also get to fight cyclopses, harpies, amazons, and all sorts of other mythological creatures.
The game has its flaws, for example the pathfinding kinda sucks (as usual for strategy games at that time), but overall fans of the genre should definitely take a look.
For me this was one of the first games I have ever played and has remained in my heart ever since I played a demo of it in autumn 1998. I would love to see it added here! Please GOG, make it happen!!!
I played this a lot as a child, it has a very special place in my heart! I'll always remember the excitement of exploring the map and getting scared when the enemies attacked... I would love to play it again and stream it for my community!! 🥹💕
omg i remember playing this a 10 yr old kid for hours a day long on our family pc. didnt care on getting newer games, this was just perfection to me back in the day. i have a physical dutch cd version of this still that i bought second hand back in the day. but i'd love to actually buy it again , let alone gift it to some of my friends. there are sadly some directmusic issues with modern windows devices (if you change volume ingame , the game will slow to 1fps somehow), so getting a official gog release would need to address such issues though.
The game didn't just stand out in terms of graphics in its genre at the time but also the gameplay and storyline made you want to play it from the start till the end witheout a break. It was possible to play the storyline either the smart way making optimal use of all the gods and their powers or enjoying the game and all of its beauty and ingeniousity at slow pace mining every piece of amber, cathing every last fish, fighting every single enemy, discover every corner of each map,...
Just thinking of playing it again gives me the shivers. Nostalgia at it's finest...
Well GOG, this game is a musthave in the library, go for it!
I loved it as a child! My friend had it on disc and lend me, i got so hooked up that i had tantrum and cried when they finally forced me to return it lol (pls mind you that i was like 9 at the time lol) years later i randomly remembered graphics and gameplay but couldn't figure out the name. I am also not in touch with that friend anymore so couldn't ask. It bugged me since pandemic! Finally found how it's called but can't find how to play it! It is almost gone and this gem deserves preserving!
This needs more upvotes. I had such good memories of this game's demo during a vacation on a laptop playing it in the evenings next to the Greek seas themselves! My imagination would run wild! I loved the fact you could upgrade your ships and that each had a specific function. Just the wonderful aesthetics of the game would take me to epic naval stories of old.
I played this game together with my grandfather, who passed away in 2005. He loved history and this was one of the few games he had on his PC. I would love to play this again.
