It's time to uncover the unknown pages of mythology! Confront the god of war in Achilles: Legends Untold and face your destiny.

Play as Achilles, the Greek warrior and hero of the Trojan War, who is recruited by Hades to confront the god of war Ares on his behalf. Face hordes of mythical beasts, mercenaries and demigods roaming the Earth. To do so, the hero sets out on a journey through ancient lands to find powerful, magical artefacts that will allow him to fulfil his mission as divine executioner. Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths, will lend Achilles his helping hand by transforming any resources he gathers into new weapons.

The combat in Achilles: Legends Untold brings a unique isometric approach to traditional Souls-like gameplay. Learning enemy movements and timing your attacks will be key, while Dark Point Games also added devastating special abilities like the shield toss to overwhelm enemies with Achilles’ raw power. This way, Achilles: Legends Untold may be enjoyed by souls veterans and new players alike. 

The gameplay features satisfying and skill-based combat, RPG elements, and resource management. Collect raw materials to bring to the forge to create new deadly weapons and sturdy shields to take Achilles to the peak of his power. As you watch Achilles become stronger and more ferocious with each ability you pick up, you as the player will also have to adapt to the world, as Achilles is not the only one picking up new tricks along the way.

In addition to the single-player campaign, Achilles: Legends Untold offers players who prefer fighting side-by-side with friends a robust co-op experience with procedurally generated dungeons to explore, allowing you and your friends to hone their skills even further.

Since Dark Point Games’ first game Achilles: Legends Untold launched into Steam Early Access this spring, the team has been devoted to bringing new features, boss challenges, and quality of life improvements to the game.

The main features introduced in version 0.2.0 include a minimap, two new bosses, a new Tartarus Rifts side activity, new dungeon locations, and more.

“When we launched into Early Access, we received a wealth of extremely valuable feedback from our dedicated playerbase. Thanks to them we were then able to really focus on the most pressing features and fixes, to make sure we provide the best possible experience to both our existing and new players.” said Pawel Waszak, CEO and Lead Game Designer.

With this first major update in place, Dark Point Games is now looking to the future with even more content and updates to Achilles: Legends Untold with a brand new Early Access Roadmap.

“Changing the course for our initial roadmap wasn’t an easy task, but we are very happy we were able to shift some of these priorities and we are very confident about the state the game is in now. From here on out, we can focus our resources on bringing more exciting features and content to Achilles: Legend Untold, knowing that anyone who picks the game up today is in for a great time.”

Experience immersive battles in which monsters adapt to your playstyle, try different strategies or create ambush scenarios, all driven by this contemporary, in-house-designed system.

Inspired by action RPGs like Dark Souls and Diablo, Achilles: Legends Untold has a much lower level of entry. The creators wanted to make a game that would be more accessible to beginners, who are just starting their adventure with this type of gameplay. It doesn't mean, however, that Achilles: Legends Untold is a title aimed only at newcomers, because it is filled with optional challenging missions, which will certainly also satisfy experienced players.
