Indie developer AlienTrap has recently announced their new title “Apotheon” revealing some screenshots to give your a first look at the game’s style as well.
“Apotheon is a 2D platform action-rpg set on the rich stage of ancient Greek mythology. Hera, the queen of Olympus, has overthrown her husband Zeus, and taken his throne as ruler of the Gods. Bitter and scornful towards the race of mortals, she launches a murderous campaign to scour them from the earth. As humanity’s last champion, you must pass through the land of the dead, infiltrate Mount Olympus, and end the wrath of the Gods. With sword, spear, and shield in hand, you will sneak, conspire, loot, and battle your way through majestic palaces and chthonic depths as you climb towards godhood. Only by stripping the old gods of their powers, and taking control of the elements as your own, can humanity hope to survive the coming oblivion.”, as stated in the official announcement.
The game is planned to have an open-world singleplayer campaign where players have to reach the top of Mount Olympus, as well as an online multiplayer component where the tactical use of spears and arrows will come into play.
Regarding the style of their previous title “Capsized” and the Greek vase inspired style in Apotheon, players can look forward to a feast for the eyes. Release is planned for the PC at the moment, but other platforms may follow.
