Apotheon

The gods have abandoned humanity, and Nikandreos sets out to climb Mount Olympus and claim their powers. The game is a 2D side-scrolling action adventure rooted in Greek mythology. Explore the gods’ domains, from forests and palaces to the underworld, as you tackle platforming challenges, puzzles, side quests, and hidden routes. Meet mythological characters and search for treasure and equipment across the world. Fight with an assortment of ancient weapons, including swords, spears, and bows, alongside shields and useful items. Combat calls for timing and stamina management, and weapons can wear out, encouraging you to adapt your loadout. The game also includes local one-on-one battles.

As Nikandreos, humanity’s last champion, fight across Olympus, explore divine realms, and seize the gods’ powers in 2D.

From the Devs

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.

Features:
-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.
