pretty awesome
When I found this gem on gog, I was immediately drawn to it due to its graphics.
I couldn't help but treat myself to a buy.
A couple of hours into the game, I find that my decision has been well rewarded.
Not only to the graphics compel me, the sound, score and voice acting to their part to engulf me in a world of betrayal, bloodshed and inrigues (It's not GOT, tho!).
The game is basically a 2D hack and slash with a fair amount of jump n run puzzles, tho I didn't find it as frustrating as this may sound.
It's fun to read up on the mythologic background and you can tell those guys put some effort into bringing ancient Greece to life (for all we know about ancient Greece from graphic depictions, it might well have looked just like the game does! :P).
You might think the simple controls and rather flat learning curve make this game boring, but they keep reinventing the game at every stage.
The only thing I might compare its wits and innovativness, also some of the feeling to, is Paper Mario. As much as I used to love that, I really love this. If you're having any doubts, don't. Just buy it. It's awesome.
