Apotheon

Apotheon is a 2D action game developed by Alientrap Games It was released February 3rd for PC and PS4.

Plot
By decree of Zeus, King of the Gods, the gods and godesses of Mount Olympus have abandoned mankind, leaving the Earth to perish without their divinity. The player must take up arms in order to ensure the survival of not only humanity, but of Earth. Befriended by Hera, Queen of the Gods, who disapproves of her husband's actions, Nikandreos is sent on a quest to strip all the gods of Olympus of their power, specifically that of her husband, Zeus.

Setting
The game takes place in two main locations, with multiple sub-locations to be found and explored. The Village of Dion is where the game begins, and soon enough the player is introduced to Mount Olympus by Hera, upon which all the gods of Olympus can be found. Olympus is home to many minor deities who are taking refuge on Olympus until it is safe to return to their various homelands. Olympus is a lot larger than Dion and has more places to explore. Each god or goddess resides their own unique domain.

Gameplay
Travel The travel system exists in the form of the Altar of Zephyr, which allows the player to quickly move among Mount Olympus, going either to central hub locations, such as the Agora or the Acropolis, or directly to the lairs of the gods. It is a lot faster and more direct than walking from one place to another.

Weapons Weapons are found throughout Olympus in the many boxes and sacks that are distributed here and there, as well as being purchasable from merchants. Each weapon has a set amount of durability on it, which disposes of the weapon if the durability runs out. Each weapon will deal a certain amount of damage to enemies, with items such as the Knife the Farmer's Fork dealing a relatively low amount of damage and weapons like the Hoplite Doru or the Shield Breaker ensuring your enemies a quick death.

Shields

Armors Armors is also found throughout the world, though much less commonly than weapons. Unlike weapons, armors can be broken but still repaired with Repair Kits. The amount of armors Nikandreos have on determines how much damage he'll take. Different pieces of armors have different degrees of protection.

Consumables Consumable items such as potions can also be found throughout the world, some which will assist in combat, while others will assist in figuring out puzzles or discovering hidden loot.
