Zeus Begins

This game is a charm to play if you like your old retro feeling games. The controls are basic but hard to master. I swear sometimes I kick late or in wrong direction but its most likely just me. You have punch and kick combos plus you can pick up a power up and electrocute those around you. the more you have the bigger the bang so store and use wisely. The game is made up of brawling levels where you fight through a stage to a boss fight. This is followed by the shooting section just to vary game play up a bit. You have 3 lives and a few continues. Once you loose all your lives you can continue from the beginning of that stage. used up all your continues and its back to the very beginning of the game. This makes it repeative in some ways but for me personally it makes it a challenge and a fun one at that. The Music is great and fits in with the great art style. I recommend this if you are fans of side scrolling fighting games from the times of the SNES for example. 8/10 Would love to jump or roll as a dodge to some attacks but i love it. Good work guys.

This is a fun but short beat 'em up title (with surprising SHMUP stages as well). Overall fighting mechanics are simple and the hit boxes are a bit questionable (the nagas toward the end especially seem to be able to get some cheap hits in even when you're nowhere in range). Still, the boss encounters are fun and the music is at times a lot of fun (especially in the SHMUP stages). Definitely a short game and the achievements are easy enough to get, but it's a fun time for the price that is being asked.

Its a cute little simple beat-em-up. It seems to be inspired by classic arcade games, there are a few typos for the storyline in the beginning, and I don't think $10 is a fair price since this game seems to be pretty short (only 5 stages to beat, maybe more comes later and if so I'll update this review and fix that.) I would recommend waiting for some kind of sale if you really want to get it.

You know, I grew up playing games like Golden Axe and the Streets of Rage series, so side-scrolling beat-em-ups games are kinda part of my gaming DNA. So imagine my overwhelming sense of nostalgia when I first booted up Zeus Begins and was greeted with a story told in pictures with text at the bottom of the screen, and then the opportunity to punch random bad peeps to a pulp! I honestly had a blast playing this, it brought back so many memories, and there are some lovely little added extras (like every boss having it's own unique little style, and some bullet-hell vertical-scrolling shooter stages between main levels that are reminiscent of games like 1942). And getting to play as an actual god, being able to kick some serious butt only adds to the value! Some elements feel a bit samey, but there was enough variety and entertainment to make playing the whole game worth it! I found the last boss to be a bit too easy once you got into the rhythm of it too, but that doesn't detract much from what is a pretty well-rounded action game! I'm going to echo some of the other reviews though and say that the price being asked is a tad high for the content as it is right now. If extra level…

Zeus Begins isn't a bad game. It just isn't very good either. Kind of bare bones in the fighting department, which is the whole reason anyone would be playing this really. Some good ideas, like the shooter travel portions and the unique boss fights, but only barely implemented in a successful way. Solid starting point for future projects, but not worth the asking price. Full Review: http://www.retrospekt.com.au/2019/08/review-zeus-begins/

Fun little arcade game that combines Double Dragon with 1942. ps: I LOVE THE OST! DAmn play this game for the music people!
