Description
The Gods of Olympus have abandoned humanity, leaving you to perish without their benevolence. Take up arms against the Gods, climb Mount Olympus, and take their divine powers for yourself to ensure mankind’s survival! Apotheon is a fast and brutal 2D action game with a striking art style and heroic narrative based on Ancient Greek Mythology.
  • Brutal and bloody bronze-aged combat! Slay your enemies with swords, spears, arrows, and other ancient weapons of war.
  • Explore the massive open world of Mount Olympus! Battle mythical beings and search for divine treasure across the Forests of Artemis, the Palaces of Apollo, and other sanctuaries of the Gods.
  • Guide the rise of Nikandreos, humanity’s last hero. Interact with a colourful cast of fully voiced legendary characters throughout a rich single-player experience.
  • Challenge your friends to single combat! In one versus one local multiplayer, pit your skills against other would-be heroes of Greece.
  • Learn a little about Greek Mythology! Apotheon tries to stay true to its source material. Read an excerpt from the Iliad about Diomedes before you stick a Xiphos through his Aspis.

8/10
If it played just a little tighter, Apotheon would be brushing up against greatness. As it stands, it's stunning to look at and a pleasure to play, and what flaws it does have can be easily overlooked by anyone looking for something smart and stylish.

Attack of the Fanboyby William Schwartz
4/5 stars
Alientrap has struck a great balance between their core 2-D Platforming and RPG-lite mechanics, and a varied world that challenges players in different ways throughout the course of this tightly paced adventure.

Really Well Done! A must have!

Worth every cent!!! Very fresh and innovative gameplay, beautiful graphics, landscapes 9/10. Too bad it is not 3D, but that is why the game is so fresh! Play it with pleasure but beware it is a Time Black Hole !

Not playable

Nice graphics,music and everything until I enter into a door. Then after loading screen all I can see is black screen with music playing in the background. Unfortunately that's where the game finishes for me. Not playable.
