What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise this atmospheric Greek mythology game for its compelling aesthetic, creature design, and ability to genuinely unsettle players, making it a worthwhile pick-up at a sale price. However, common frustrations include technical issues like poor level generation where walls and geometry don't mesh properly, bugs that can ruin runs, unfair difficulty spikes, and performance problems that detract from the otherwise solid core experience.
Hidden gem, this game is very cool.2 found this helpful
A nice little adventure for the a nice little price tag that a friend gifted me. Floors are randomized completely but not always optimally (floors and walls don't mesh well, and pursuer monsters can even get caught in the randomize geology). The atmosphere and aesthetic are fantastic and kept me coming back for more, especially to see what the next creature would be like.
I'm not even joking (for a change) but I really loved this game. It's simple, graphics look old as ♥♥♥♥, there are bugs that sometimes end your run, but overall it's actually fantastic. When its on sale pick it up, extremely good for what it is.
Great mythological concept and atmosphere ruined by poor execution, unfair difficulty, bad performance and frustrating progression.
This is a great game - one of the few that literally startled and scared me. I am a Greek mythology junkie and love games like this. There aren't too many FPS Greek mythology games out there and this one fit the bill nicely. I'm still hooked after years. Runs perfectly on an HP Z4 i9-7900X running Big Linux with 64GB RAM, an EVGA 3060 RTX with 12GB memory and on any SSD or NVMe drive. Actually, it runs flawless. Love the game guys just the way it is, but if you decide to update it that would be a huge plus especially graphic wise. Look forward to seeing if you do anything else with this wonderful game. Appreciated!
