Achilles: Legends Untold

Achilles: Legends Untold is an action movie with role-playing elements about a hero of Greek myths. Achilles, having gone through the Trojan War, again finds himself drawn into the discord between the gods and sets out to deal with monsters and intrigue. Control is based on stamina, blocks and dodges, so the battle requires patience: you won’t be able to pin down the enemy, you’ll have to read his attacks. A special feature of the project is the emphasis on ancient Greek myths in the scenery and enemies: here you can find familiar monsters and characters familiar from legends. In addition to battles, the hero explores locations, collects items and completes tasks that influence the further course of the story. Character development includes different weapon styles and skills, allowing you to choose your own style of combat. Some people prefer heavy hits, others prefer speed and dodging, and the build noticeably changes the feel of the game. Separately, it is worth noting that the game has different types of weapons and fighting styles: from spears to swords, and each has its own mechanics. Bosses require parsing attacks and patience, not mindless onslaught. This is a rare thoroughness for a mythological action film. The project was made by a small team and looks modest in places, but it provides a rare opportunity to go through the path of a mythical hero in the format of a demanding action game. For those who like these types of stories and don't mind difficult bosses, this is a suitable option.
