Learn About the Game Achilles

Achilles fights through a side scrolling battle in a 2D view. He clashes with waves of foes using punches and kicks. He lands uppercuts and jump kicks and blocks blows from enemy soldiers. He grabs swords spears and shields from fallen fighters and each weapon breaks after a short time. Foot soldiers give way to armored brutes and mythic creatures and cyclops and minotaur stalk final areas.

The game borrows from ancient myths and drops Achilles into scenes from the Trojan War. The story stays spare and no long scenes or heavy dialogue stand in the way. Each stage pushes him into a new battlefield and players must clear all foes to move on.

Graphic violence shows real stakes and limbs fall on every hit and blood stains the ground. Direction and attack inputs trigger special moves and weapon pick up shifts fight style for a short time. Boss fights demand fresh tactics with unique patterns and enemies grow tougher and group up in greater numbers later in the game.
