## About Apotheon

Apotheon is a side-scrolling action-adventure RPG developed by Alientrap, released in 2015 at a price of $14.99 USD. Set in the world of Ancient Greek Mythology, players ascend Mount Olympus to confront the gods in a game reviewers describe as atmospheric and epic, with a distinctive visual style inspired by Greek pottery. The challenging action gameplay incorporates exploration-based progression, stamina management, and weapon durability, requiring players to strategically rotate equipment as weapons break during combat. Reviewers highlight that each deity possesses unique vulnerabilities, creating diverse boss encounters where methodical combat rewards patience. Players note that victory against the gods feels earned through careful preparation and timing. Apotheon is verified for Steam Deck and supports solo play only, offering a medium-length campaign designed for focused, sit-down sessions. The game holds a 90% positive rating from recent Steam reviews.
