The game more than backs up its aesthetic prowess with rewarding combat and exploration systems in place. While the combat hardly changes over the course of the adventure, Apotheon asks the player to apply their knowledge in such a wide variety of ways that it constantly feels fresh and exciting.
Apotheon's visual style is absolutely gorgeous and the mythological elements are well integrated into both level and boss design. What keeps the game from ascending to Olympus is the somewhat flawed combat. [March 2015]
A combat-heavy, side-scrolling jaunt through the wonderfully unhinged realm of Ancient Greek mythology. Apotheon unites presentation and theme to tremendous effect through its stylised, Grecian pottery worlds.
A metroidvania in full Guacamelee! style, it will please fans of the genre not just with interesting gameplay, but with a great and original visual style.
SummaryApotheon is an action game set in the vivid world of Ancient Greek Mythology. Climb Mount Olympus, wrest the divine powers from the Pantheon of Gods, and save mankind.
