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.

Good except controls

A well put-together MetroidVania-lite. Some of the mythology is a bit off, but overall the entire package is really enjoyable, minus the controls. I consider the PC controls borderline unplayable, with a controller working pretty well minus some weird autolock-on and swinging issues.

Masterpiece!

Platform game with a little bit of puzzle and ancient Greek graphics. An all-time classic!

Broken on Linux

Awesome art style and decent mechanics make this a four star game on it's own. However, this game is advertised as supporting Linux when it clearly is broken. The game crashes after entering a room. Very disappointing and GOG should not sell it as a Linux title.
