Invictus: In the Shadow of Olympus

Well, seems there is no review yet, I Bought this game for this is my first game on PC, I'd say the graphics still the same when I was a child well it is not remastered. The story begins where you can choose two heroes and as you progress you can then again, select another heroes, it is up to four heroes you can use, when your hero dies you can never revive them. Also, you can have some foot soldiers. Oh the story is about gods, where Poseidon wants to kill Athena's hero. The price is cheap I think, good if you really like strategy game.

This game is a mix of RPG and RTS based on Greek Mythology, it's not an easy game but it is great fun if you learn it's mechanic. This game is much deeper than avarage RTS: 1) Every level is like part of the ancient world with it's people living in it, but you don't have to be hero, you can kill everyone instead helping them. 2) Every unit in the game has name, health and expirience. And nobody want to die for nothing. So it's up to you - whether you kill or save them.

Let me preface by saying I loved this game as a kid and was excited to play it again 25 years later. However, I could find no way to save my game and when recruiting Perseus, the quest timer ran out but the quest didn't end. And killing the guy in the quest, since that was the only other option to "end" things, caused a script error. I suppose I ate those $10 pretty quickly...but it was still fun to immerse myself back into the game after all these years. It's held up well enough, but unfortunately if you want bug fixes, you're out of luck.

Invictus: In the Shadow of Olympus is a turn-of-the-millennium strategy title developed by Quicksilver Software and published by Interplay that attempts to fuse real-time strategy mechanics with role-playing elements under the thematic umbrella of Greek mythology. Set in a world shaped by the whims and rivalries of the Olympian gods, the game places the player in the role of a mortal commander drawn into a divine contest, tasked with leading armies, recruiting legendary heroes, and surviving a series of trials meant to prove worthiness in the eyes of Olympus. From the outset, the game projects ambition, aiming to combine mythic storytelling, large-scale battles, and hero-driven progression into a single cohesive experience. The gameplay centers on commanding armies in real-time battles viewed from an isometric perspective. Players recruit a wide range of units inspired by ancient warfare and mythological creatures, including infantry, archers, cavalry, and fantastical beings drawn directly from Greek legend. These units can be arranged into formations such as lines or wedges, allowing for a degree of tactical planning that goes beyond simple point-and-click engagements. Battles ar…
