ⓘ Steam
In several games, players embody heroes known for their exploits, such as Achilles, while others immerse them in mysterious open worlds. But some games have distinct universes, like this 2D action game named Apotheon. Released on Steam on February 3, 2015, it was developed by the Canadian studio Alientrap and features Metroidvania mechanics.
In this game, inspired by ancient Greek art, the gods of Olympus have abandoned you, and your anger toward them continues to grow. You embody Nikandreos, and you decide to fight them and seize their power in order to secure a better future for humanity.
Brutal fights await you in this game, which is currently available for $3.74 instead of $14.99 until April 24, 2026. Indeed, you’ll face legendary creatures and gods with the help of different weapons, such as swords, spears, and bows. But you won’t be alone in your quest, as the goddess Hera will stand by your side.
During your adventure, you’ll meet many legendary heroes from Greek mythology and learn more about this era. In addition, you can challenge your friends in local multiplayer battles.
