Speaking of abilities, Fenyx has access to a number of different abilities throughout the game Some are unlocked through the story while others will need to be purchased through the skill tree using Coins of Charon. I loved getting into fights with enemies both big and small just so that I could master my parrying and dodging or even try out a new ability. The gameplay loop is so satisfying and also downright addictive. Fenyx is equipped with the wings of Daedelus allowing them to glide and create openings for aerial attacks. Climbing up cliff faces, swimming through tunnels and gliding feels great. Thankfully combat encounters can go either way if you’re not careful as you’ll need to keep an eye out for unparryable attacks. Finishing off an enemy with a final blow usually sends them hurtling through the air and disappearing in a puff of smoke. Bringing some of the Assassin’s Creed flair into the mix, you can also sneak up on your enemies to deliver a stealth attack, removing a sizeable chunk from their health bar.Ĭombat is a fairly over-the-top experience featuring big finishers and slow-mo on perfect dodges. Not to mention that you are able to unlock different Godly powers which can be used with a combination of a shoulder button and one of the face buttons. Combat is mapped to the shoulder buttons, allowing you to execute a light attack with your sword, a heavy attack with your axe, parry, and aim and fire a bow. Immortals does do some things a little differently and also does them pretty well.
It makes use of a similar stamina system for traversal, there’s a gliding mechanic and even the climbing feels familiar. If you’ve ever played The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, then Immortals Fenyx Rising will instantly feel familiar to you, since the gameplay is quite similar. The options are a bit limited but you’re able to customise anything from face markings to hair. When initially starting the game, you’ll be given the opportunity to create your own character. The comedic approach is pretty entertaining, but it does fall flat here and there. Prometheus and Zeus constantly bickering while they narrate every part of your story is pretty funny and had me snickering here and there. Despite the situation being quite dire, the tone is still fairly light-hearted and there’s a fair amount of humorous dialogue. The storytelling is pretty great too with Prometheus Zeus handling the narration. Starting as a reluctant underdog with little to no combat experience, they quickly take up the challenge and will attempt to overcome any obstacle they come across. The story is incredibly entertaining and has you interacting with gods and heroes alike from Greek Mythology as you continue on your adventure. While they search for the reason that the world has been plunged into chaos, they end up coming across Hermes, who informs them that the Olympian Gods have been defeated by Typhon and that Fenyx is the only one who can save them and defeat this deadly enemy. After waking up and attempting to find the remainder of their crew, Fenyx finds that a good number of them have been turned to stone. Immortals Fenyx Rising follows the story of Fenyx, a young shield-bearer who is washed up on the shore of a mysterious place called the Golden Isle.
However, Immortals Fenyx Rising tends to focus more on fantastical elements and aims for a more light-hearted experience. The most recent title to do this is Immortals Fenyx Rising, an adventure game created by the same team behind Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, a title which also took place in Ancient Greece. Ancient Greece is so rich when it comes to its mythology, that it’s no surprise that many a video game has taken to using it to create some seriously great adventures.
