Lead Jason and legendary heroes like Hercules and Achilles on an epic quest across ancient Greece to find the Golden Fleece and resurrect his slain bride. Battle fearsome mythological creatures in real-time combat with devastating god-given powers, streamlined RPG mechanics, and tactical team combinations that keep you fighting rather than managing inventory.
As the King of Iolcus, Jason had everything—a prosperous kingdom, the respect of his peers, and a beautiful fiancé. When she was killed on their wedding day, he vowed to do anything to restore her life. Now, in order to accomplish this heroic feat Jason must seek out the Golden Fleece -- and with the help of Greek mythology's greatest heroes -- set sail on the most epic voyage of all.

The search for the Golden Fleece is not only one of exploration but of transformation -- from warrior king to exalted hero touched by the gods.

Well, first things first. I find it a bit saddening to see that this game is delisted... Meaning, that not many or any would come to discover it at this point. Even making this review somewhat obsolete... But regardless, if we are to speak of hidden gems among our vast libraries, this game might be one of those especially shiny ones that you keep on overlooking no matter how many times it catches your gaze... Now before i get too ahead of myself, I've got to admit - to my shame, that i was not overly familiar with this classic tale of ''Jason and the Argonauts'' prior to playing through the game. And from what i have learned afterwards is that it does differ from the original in some ways, so keep that in mind, i guess. Personally such knowledge means little, i always take in the game for what it is and rate its overall value/impact on different points. So if they wanted to make their own spin on the tale, i can appreciate that as long as it is done in a compelling way - and to that point, in my opinion, the whole package is done quite marvelously. The moment you're let loose on your quest into this mythological world of ancient Greece, the whole experience becomes entrancing and…2 found this helpful
Im using shader toggler to turn off the blur and i use ghost and walk commands in every ue3 game simply by adding two lines to the input ini found in the mydocuments folder. Its basically noclip but you stay in your player. "Walk" drops you back down on solid ground. This allows me to go inside hottubs and pools and other places where im not able to go normally. This game actually has jumping but its broken. I think they tried to fix it like 3 times with different jump commands that i found. Anyways I was able to get him to jump but he just jumps up and down in place forever until you load an old save and the third person view in this game is...comically bad. Your character is in the middle of the screen, You can barely look up lol. How is that even possible in ue3? And the combat is like scripted typical cheap unreal engine combat, with lock ons DELETED from the game so to artificially make it seem/look more like dynamic combat. Its bad. Its definately a bad game. But i liked it. Nice adventure. Good graphics. i take it this is an amateur development team, but they meant well and the game is very very good [Engine.Playerinput] Bindings=(Name="F5",Command="ghost") Bindings=…2 found this helpful
An underrated gem that was one of my favourite games as a kid. It somehow still looks pretty good visually and the combat holds up quite well too.1 found this helpful
If you love games based on ancient history this one does it right.
Steam asked my opinion, but it's moot since you can't buy it, so it's like a cow's opinion....
good little game. graphics have aged a little but interesting use of the greek gods to give you powers in your fights against enemies. would give it a 3 out of 5.
