Rise of the Argonauts for Windows PC

Incredible PlayRise of the Argonauts immerses players completely in the world of ancientGreece. One way this is accomplished is by streamlining the RPG elements inexciting new ways. For example, rather than increasing arbitrary stats like'Intelligence plus one', items and upgrades give Jason unique, tangibleabilities like the Fist of Ares, which causes shields to explode, ripping apartnearby enemies. And individual battles aren't dependant upon a hit-point anddice system. If you manage to get behind a shield and slice into your enemies'neck, their head will be cleaved from their shoulders. The developers also spenttime researching the look and feel of ancient Greek artwork, crafts andarchitecture for a richness of surrounding that is astonishing.

As in ancient Greece, in Rise of the Argonauts players must curry the favorof the Gods. As you achieve deeds, you can dedicate them to different gods. Agod's favor will also be affected by choices you make in conversations withnon-player characters. As your favor, or disfavor, with a particular god rises,your abilities will be affected accordingly. But be careful, because the godslike few things better than meddling in the lives of their human subjects.

Amazing BattlesThe battle system in Rise of the Argonauts is simple enough to pick up quickly,but has more finesse than your typical button masher. In battling enemies youweaken their armor, then their limbs, eventually finishing them off. Weapons canbe switched mid-battle to unleash devastating combos, while using god-grantedpowers can also cause serious damage. Players can also choose how to defeattheir enemies, and in so doing find interesting new allies. For example, in oneof your battles you will fight Medusa herself. If you kill her, her brotherPerseus will grieve for her but join you on your quest. If you save Medusa,however, Athena will command her to join your crew as a beginning to her penancefor her misdeeds.
