Once you’re into the main story of Achilles: Legends Untold, the combat difficulty takes all you’ve learned thus far, and you need to time your attacks, blocks and dodges as you can easily be overrun if you don’t dispatch enemies before moving on. Putting my experiences aside, fellow co-founder of Roundtable Co-Op Johnny played this starting area as well and he thought it was a decent introductory sequence giving us enough of a taste of the combat to prepare us for what’s ahead. It felt rushed and lacked the difficulty and exploration of the playtest. It was a fantastic sample of the gameplay and I just wanted more.įast forward to now, having played this same starting area in this early access release, the first area is somewhat of a disappointment as there’s no Scorpion on the beach, Hector was easy to take down, you couldn’t access the sewer and the fight with Paris is pre-ordained as, whether you lose or defeat him, you get killed and are sent to Hades. The final playtest boss was Paris who is an archer and defeating him ended the test. There was a giant scorpion I had to fight which I found by exploring a side track down to a beach, and the first boss fight against Hector was tough! We got to meet Hephaestus, a Blacksmith who gives you a shield that you can throw at enemies and retrieve. In the playtest, I was collecting loot from enemies straight away such as heal pots, grenades, and resources. The introductory sequence, which acts as the game’s tutorial, was different to what I have been playing in this early access release. My first experience in Achilles: Legends Untold was back in January with a closed playtest. It’s rewarding as you progress and unlock new talents and skills but punishing if you struggle to find the next save shrine. Combat is at the core of this game and can be quite challenging, with a higher difficulty starting point than similar games. We will battle gods and mythical creatures while picking up resources and loot to upgrade your character. Set in a story inspired by Greek Mythology, we play as Achilles who is tasked with ending the conflict between Hades and Ares. Achilles: Legends Untold is a souls-like action RPG by Dark Point Games and released in Steam Early Access on May 13, 2022.
