A hack and slash role play game inspired by Greek mythology, reminded me of Titan Quest but is not quite.
A hack and slash RPG inspired by Greek mythology, reminded me of Titan Quest but is not quite.
There are no options to customize the main character appearance.
When the game is started, the player chooses between a male or female character.
Only three classes to choose from: archer, warrior and mage. The weapons that are used the most will determine the class, so if bow is used the most at the beginning of the game then the character will become an archers, on the other hand if spells are preferred then the character will end up a mage.
The game start is simple, a short story prepare the way of the adventure.
In the beginning the player finds out that a sickle was stolen, but wait was not just a sickle was god's sickle. And every god chooses a hero to retrieve the sickle, is not just to find the sickle but to find it before other gods find it.
A race for fame and honor among gods, and humans used as puppets and rewarded time to time.
The game has a medium length so it will not become very repetitive.
The adventure starts on an island, the player being one of the siblings raised by an uncle after their father death, who was a great warrior.
So the uncle encourages the player to become a warrior as the father was and give him first weapon (a dagger) which need to be equipped.
Looking around the village an archer, a mage will be discovered in the village which can teach and give new weapon according to their class.
In the beginning the game want to leave the impression that the actions taken can change the life of the people, but that will not influence to much the game play.
To cut the story short the sibling die and a god appear, promising that will revive him if you retrieve the sickle first.
According to the class the player will choose one of the gods from three available for each class, nine gods in total and nine heroes to compete to find the sickle.
There are only there gods per class and only few different skills between each other, so choosing a god will not be a great challenge.
Time to time when money will not be a problem sacrifices can be offered to the chosen god.
Gaining favor with the god can be done either by killing enemies, humiliate heroes of other gods, wining a tournament or sacrifices.
With favor points new abilities, weapons and scrolls can be brought from your god.
The game does not have a compass so to finish quests you need to read carefully and investigate the areas mentioned.
Only the labyrinth quest is a bit difficult but if you use only one wall and follow it either the right wall or the left then after 15-30 min will be finished.
With side quest the game has less than 40 hours of game play but is longer that most games these days and is pretty stable.
It is surprisingly good for a low budget game.
