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.

Developer Dark Point Games released a spine-chilling Steam Early Access update for Achilles: Legends Untold.

This comes on the heels of last month’s announcement that the title will launch out of early access onto Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4 and PS5, alongside the Steam release in Q3 2023.

The update introduces an array of new features that are sure to thrill fans of the action RPG genre, including an expansive new location: the Spider Cave. Players will face novel and challenging enemies, including formidable plant variants and fiendish fire spiders.

Thanks to the update’s newly introduced save slots, players can now enjoy up to three simultaneous playthroughs of the game. Additionally, a handy tutorials tab has been added to the inventory menu, making it easier than ever for players to access helpful game tips. To enhance the gaming experience, the update also includes support for controller vibrations. Moreover, gamers can look forward to two new powerful GAIA (Group AI Action) attacks that are sure to add an extra level of difficulty to the game. 

“GAIA is a revolutionary system that adds an unprecedented level of complexity and realism to combat. Enemies now engage in unscripted interactions with each other and can coordinate attacks in response to the player's actions, while also taking advantage of their surroundings” said Paweł Waszak, CEO of Dark Point Games.

In addition to the exciting new features, the latest update also brings a host of improvements, further enhancing the overall gameplay experience. The dismemberment system has been refined, offering players more realistic and satisfying combat mechanics. New graphics customization settings have also been added. Achilles himself has received a visual makeover, giving him a striking new look. Furthermore, numerous bug fixes and minor upgrades have been implemented, including improved performance and the resolution of issues such as the inability to hit enemies while sprinting during combo attacks. With these enhancements, players can expect a smoother, more polished, and enjoyable gameplay experience

“At Dark Point Games, we are passionate about delivering new and exciting features to our players, and enhancing their overall gaming experience. The latest update for Achilles: Legends Untold introduces a range of thrilling additions, including a new location, challenging enemies, and improved settings and UI. We are confident that these features will elevate the gameplay experience to new heights, providing players with even more immersive and engaging gameplay. We are immensely grateful to our community for their unwavering support and valuable feedback, which has helped us refine and improve the game. With this update, we are certain that we have met our players' expectations, and we look forward to their continued enjoyment of Achilles: Legends Untold” said Waszak.

Achilles: Legends Untold features the innovative GAIA system, which means the AI characters’ actions feel lifelike and work together in unpredictable ways. 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.
