    This little game is an insiders' tip and clearly worth the small price. A few real puzzles would have made the game even better.

    With a bit more polish Apotheon could have been truly worthy of Godhood, but as it is, this is one very flawed, very mortal game.

    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.

    I give Apotheon high praise for its homage to old-school side-scrolling adventures and its ability to recreate the captivating style of Ancient Greek art. Unfortunately, a ho-hum story and frustrating controls prevent me from doing the same for its moment-to-moment gameplay.

    The translation from urn to game is nearly flawless.

    The biggest problem with Apotheon is that the game controls are far from ideal for a platformer. Otherwise it would be an excellent game with great visuals. [Issue#250]

    The joy of imaginatively designed world with many surprises is spoiled by an unbalanced arsenal, boring action and user-unfriendly controls.

    Apotheon looks beautiful, but it loses its charm in mere 15 minutes. The beauty can’t save the shoddy game design.

Apotheon offers goodIf you re fond of game old SNES classics like Castlevania old Metroid you will be extremely pleased with this game. Apotheon offers good balance of engaging story, platforming, fighting and puzzles all wrapped up in breathtaking art style inspired by Ancient Greek pottery. Despite the fact that it was developed by small studio, Apotheon has great production values including polished gameplay, amazing soundtrack and AAA quality of voice acting. Single player offers about 10 hours of gameplay and based on difficulty I dare to say that both hardcore and more casual player will be satisfied! Plus - You can still try to compete in multiplayer with your friends!… Full Review »
