I spent a good amount of time with Achilles: Legends Untold, and it ended up being one of those games that slowly grew on me rather than instantly impressing me. At first, it feels very familiar. If you’ve played Souls-like action RPGs before, you’ll recognize the stamina-based combat, dodge-heavy fights, and methodical pacing almost immediately. While it doesn’t reinvent the genre, it does enough right to stay enjoyable.
Combat is clearly the focus, and it feels solid once you get used to it. Enemies hit hard, positioning matters, and rushing in usually gets you killed. I had to learn enemy patterns, manage stamina carefully, and pick my moments to attack. Boss fights were a mixed bag. Some were genuinely fun and tested my patience and timing, while others felt a bit clunky or unbalanced. Still, most victories felt earned, which kept me going.
The isometric camera is an interesting choice and works better than I expected. It gives fights a more tactical feel, though it can occasionally make judging distance or enemy attacks tricky. Exploration is fairly rewarding. I liked searching side paths for better gear and resources, even if environments start to repeat after a while. The world design isn’t breathtaking, but it fits the gritty mythological tone.
The story is simple but effective. Playing as Achilles in a darker take on Greek mythology was enough to keep me interested, even though the writing and voice acting aren’t standout. I followed the story more as motivation to keep pushing forward rather than for emotional impact.
Progression feels meaningful. Upgrading gear, unlocking skills, and slowly getting stronger gave me a clear sense of improvement. However, the game can feel rough around the edges. Animations can be stiff, hit detection isn’t always perfect, and some systems lack polish. These issues never fully ruined the experience for me, but they were noticeable.
Overall, Achilles: Legends Untold is a solid AA action RPG that knows its limits. It’s not as refined or memorable as the best in the genre, but it offers challenging combat, decent progression, and a setting that works. If you enjoy Souls-like games and don’t mind a bit of jank, it’s worth your time.
I played Achilles Legends Untold and I have to say it really surprised me in a good way. It’s one of those games that doesn’t try to be too big but it is still so fun. I liked how the game combines simple action with a mythic vibe.
Playing as Achilles feels really good and cool, and I have to say I enjoyed the world too. The whole world has this calm but slightly dark feeling that makes exploring nice. The combat is very fast and fun and most of the time it works really well. It reminds me a bit of other action games where timing matters and when you get the rhythm it feels really satisfying to clear a small group of enemies.
There are moments where the game is rough though. Sometimes the camera moves weirdly and it makes fights harder than they should be. I also felt like some areas were a bit empty or needed more to do. The combat is fun but it can feel a bit stiff at times like the game wants to be fast but the moves aren’t always smooth.
But I never felt annoyed enough to stop playing and I kept going because I wanted to see more of the world. What kept me playing the most was the feeling of getting stronger.
Finding new gear or getting better at fights felt good. It’s not the deepest game out there but it has enough charm to keep you going.
I think if someone wants a relaxed action game in a cool setting, this is a good pick. It has flaws but it has a heart and sometimes that’s enough to make a game worth playing. Plus there is a cool coop mode, which makes the game even more fun, so I have to say this definitely deserves a try.
This game is fantastic. It’s like a Souls-like Titan Quest and If you like Souls games and Diablo games here is the mix of all of them! I had enjoyed the game a lot. Finished the main scenario within 20 hours and I will continue to play for sure. There are more things to do on the map. Using different weapons feels different during the combat and even limited skills makes fight more enjoyable. If you like the genre, you can take a look.
Greek legendary hero, Achilles is the main character of the Iliad, the Homeric epic that tells the campaign against Ilion (Troy), led by the Achaeans… But we’re not here for a history lesson, we’re here for the brawl, the battles, the discovery of myths and legends!! Ready to dive into the depths of Greek mythology and embody the legendary Brad Pitt uh I mean Achilles? Relive the exploits of the most formidable warrior of antiquity? Then sharpen your blade, prepare your shield, and embark on an epic adventure that will take you from the plains of Troy to the edges of the Greek world. But beware, glory is not won without effort!
“Achilles: Legends Untold” (which I’ll call ALU, to save some space in the review) offers an alternative vision of Greek mythology, so your story begins during the Trojan War. Here we find ourselves in an accelerated version of events; in the Iliad, this battle lasts 10 years, fortunately it doesn’t last that long in the game hahaha (although you can feel a certain slowness of the story at the beginning of the game) and after landing on the shores, Achilles and his men decide to take action. These first steps, which take the form of a tutorial, quickly lead us to encounter a first boss, Hector, and then a second, Paris (not Hilton). After this stage, Achilles wakes up ten years later, in the heart of a Greece where blood and chaos seem to reign supreme.
“ALU” stands out for its demanding and punishing gameplay, inspired by “souls-like” games such as Dark Souls or Bloodborne. The combat is fast, intense, and requires great precision and mastery of game mechanics. You will need to learn to block enemy attacks, dodge at the right moment, and exploit the weaknesses of your opponents to defeat them. Thus, the game offers a wide range of weapons and armor, each with its own characteristics and unique playstyle. You will be able to customize your character and adapt your approach to combat according to your preferences. In addition to combat, “ALU” also offers many elements of exploration and puzzle-solving. You will need to traverse vast and varied environments, discover hidden secrets, and solve complex puzzles to progress in the adventure.
With excellent artistic direction, “ALU” offers an immersive visual and auditory experience that will transport you to the heart of ancient Greece. The graphics are sumptuous and detailed, with varied environments and meticulously designed characters. The animations are smooth and realistic, which contributes to making the combat even more intense and visceral. And the game’s soundtrack is also of high quality, with epic music that perfectly accompanies the action and realistic sound effects that bring the environments and characters to life.
However, the game is not without its flaws. Its high difficulty may deter casual players, and the camera can sometimes pose problems. Additionally, the bestiary is somewhat limited, and the main campaign relatively short. Add to that a few, relatively sparse side quests.
But despite these few negatives, “ALU” remains an excellent game that will appeal to fans of “souls-like” games and Greek mythology enthusiasts looking for a challenging experience. So, if you’re up for it, ALU awaits you for an unforgettable adventure, full of twists and challenges worthy of the greatest Greek warrior.
