This is a nice "metroidvania" sidescrolling action-adventure based on Greek mythology. The atmosphere achieved with the beautiful art-style based on ancient Greek pottery and the music is captivating. Even the effect when you receive damage looks like cracks on a pot. I absolutely fell in love with the art of this game. The story sounds a bit like God of War but everything is much closer to the source material while the little I've seen of God of War looks more like a generic fantasy setting loosely related to Greek mythology. Here you can even find quotes from classical authors scattered through the levels.
The combat is fast-paced and simple, but the wide range of different weapons both you and the enemies can use and the fact that they break with use will make you change your fight-style accordingly. There's a basic crafting system for power-ups and bombs and that's about it. Pretty solid gameplay and the breathtaking art (did I mention I love Greek red and black figure pottery?) make an overall awesome game.
