Achilles: Legends Untold - An Epic Greek Adventure Awaits

calimonk September 21, 2023

Achilles: Legends Untold is an action RPG that has been in Early Access for some time and is set to fully launch later this year. The game is a unique take on the epic tale of Homer's Iliad, offering a challenging world of ancient Greece for players to combat through. Set in mythological Ancient Greece, this dynamic, combat-focused gameplay with an isometric camera view promises an exciting, novel approach to the genre.

The game is being developed by Dark Point Games and is set to take players on a tour through original action RPG dynamics, new enemies, and mechanics.

Combat is a central element of gameplay in Achilles: Legends Untold. Players can expect to die in a multitude of ways, from being swarmed by skeletons to exploding barrels, or even succumbing to statuses like poison or bleeding that deal damage over time. Unlike many action RPGs, combat in Achilles does not depend on recklessly charging through hordes of enemies. Instead, fights are small-scale, requiring players to deliver well-thought-out moves. Each attack made by the player won't go unnoticed by enemies, who will attempt to surround you or deal a blow when you least expect it.

The game introduces multiple types of unique enemies, each providing a unique challenge for players. For instance, keen-eyed archers remind players to roll or cover themselves with a shield. Armored undead, while slow in movements, are clad in iron from top to bottom, leaving only their backs vulnerable. Wolves, on the other hand, attack in groups, testing your ability to manage multiple threats at once.

Achilles: Legends Untold is available on Steam. Stay tuned for more updates as Dark Point Games continues to reveal more about this thrilling, mythological journey.
