Apotheon is a heroic action game that immerses players in a vibrant world inspired by ancient Greek mythology.

The Battle of Olympus is a 1988 action‑adventure game set in ancient Greece. Players control Orpheus as he battles mythological foes, upgrades his weapons, and explores the underworld to defeat Hades and save his love, Helene. Inspired by Zelda II, the game blends side‑scrolling exploration with RPG‑style upgrades and a rich Greek mythos. Featuring classic NES and Game Boy graphics, the title offers a single‑player experience filled with cyclopes, centaurs, Medusa, and encounters with Greek gods.
