| Game Analysis | Apotheon is a 2D platform action-rpg set on the rich stage of ancient Greek mythology. Hera, the queen of Olympus, has overthrown her husband Zeus, and taken his throne as ruler of the Gods. Bitter and scornful towards the race of mortals, she launches a murderous campaign to scour them from the earth. As humanity’s last champion, you must pass through the land of the dead, infiltrate Mount Olympus, and end the wrath of the Gods. With sword, spear, and shield in hand, you will sneak, conspire, loot, and battle your way through majestic palaces and chthonic depths as you climb towards godhood. Only by stripping the old gods of their powers, and taking control of the elements as your own, can humanity hope to survive the coming oblivion.Along with a large single player campaign in a massive open world Mount Olympus, Apotheon will include online multiplayer with deathmatch and team based gamemodes. | |

Multiplayer is buggy
Apotheon has an unique visual art style which paired with the excellent sound design and music make it an one of a kind game. While the combat system feels very well balanced, the controls sometimes feel a bit clumsy. This together with the steep learning curve might lead to frustration, but by the time you finish your first run, you would have learned everything you need to tackle even the hardest difficulty level, which is where the game shines. This game is not a button masher, the timing and position of each of your hits matter, and every weapon has its own advantages and disadvantages. The level designs are good and force you to backtrack and explore, making this game fit into what is called Metroidvania. There is a good level progression with some upgrades and a great variety of weapons. On top of this, there are some great puzzles and a nice story which is supported by a good understanding of Ancient Greek Mythology. When you’re done with the main campaign though, you might find that the on-line play is a bit buggy. Lag is a real problem and really limits the experience. I have not tried playing local yet, so I can’t comment on that.
Conclusion: It is a great single-player experience, a game which really should be mentioned more often when talking about Action RPGs.
