Rise of the Argonauts reviews

Generic combat and a forgettable story. At least the world is somewhat interesting

Derivative in every way

Rise of the Argonauts is an attempt by Liquid Entertainment and publisher, Codemasters, to capitalize on Ancient Greece and Greek mythology in video games. Already, Sony has had a tremendous amount of success and acclaim with the God of War series, so why not try to follow in their footsteps with their own unique take on Greek mythology. The game is a retelling, with a plethora of liberties taken, of Jason and his team of heroes (the Argonauts) as they hunt the mystical Golden Fleece. The objective is the same but the circumstances surrounding the quest are more personal and dire. The voice acting is kind of okay. Nothing really stands out. The music by Tyler Bates is quite good. The atmosphere is very interesting, it is very different from God of War. But some of the movement and gameplay mechanics are incredibly clunky. Roleplaying elements are present but they are very surface level. There are some interesting powers and abilities that you can attribute to different gods. This game has a lot of good ideas, but in execution all of it is very flawed. I remember reading a Game Informer magazine that presented a very different version of the game. For some reason this game got downgraded, which is for some strange reason the nature of the beast in this day and age. Rise of the Argonauts is okay. It’s not the worst game out there, but there are better games that deal with this material and world in comparison. The game is violent (as Greek myths are), the voice acting is okay, the concepts and art design is good but dated with the graphics being deployed. The game is incredibly heavy on dialogue, but a lot of this is just poorly executed and the combat and movement should have been tinkered with first. All in all, it’s an okay game. If you’re looking for a game to sink a lot of time in to and really don’t care about gameplay and mechanics then this should be enough to keep you engaged storywise. Otherwise, I’d give this a hard pass.

Rating: 3/5

Pointless Hack 'n Slay, The Interface ... Not there. No Questmarker or similar one errs Planlos through the Fortress (further I did not come, did not find the Way) Conclusion: Somehow stupid.

If you have a lot of Boredom you can play it. You definitely don't have to buy it. For this, the Paths are too long-winded, the Action falls short. If you had your Hands free while Playing, you could knit something and watch a Movie on the side;-)

Rise of the Argonauts is a great RPG in itself, as there is a Story line, the well-known Skillsystem and a reasonably good Graphics. However, I still can't recommend it as I Don't think the Game has any gorgeous Strengths that could lead to me buying the Game outside HumbleBundle again.

I don't know where to start at the mega bad Dialogues, the synchronizations, the unbalanced Gameplay or the MEGA ULTRA BLUNT Story. My Introduction says Everything, who still wants to have a very Hack 'N 'slay heavy game and is additionally on RPG, you should get it. Luckily I got it out of the Humble Bundle for just under 75 Cents.

It's definitely a good Game, especially for people who like Greek Gods. Pro:-Pleasant combat System-Good selection between Weapons-For people the Brutality do not abhor even what even good combo choice-Interelse story-For a 2009 game good Graphics-Beautiful possibilities Contra:-Unfortunately far too much run-My Meiung lacks an Ad -From time to time small annoying Bugs-The Synchro really doesn't let the best tone quality leave once in a while, wishing tone is now and then easy to get away and subdued Conclusion: A half way good Game, which offers very great Possibilities. That's Why my recommendation to buy it is still, as it already takes a lot of time in claim worthwhile, even if you have a few Bugs every now and then you can still play it.

Rise of the Argonauts is a pretty nice older RPG! Anyone who likes RPGs with Greek Mythology has found their Game here! Hopefully, but not to point out, that this Game is a bit older and therefore, of course, is not at the Level of Graphical, like other Games nowadays! Nevertheless, the Graphics are still very consistent with the whole Game! The Soundtrack is also quite good, definitely does not bother, during the Game! The Story is about the Argonauts, who have to find something, in the process of encountering one or another God. I had my 2 Positions (Boss fights) in the Game where my aggression level rose quite high. It could happen, so here at one or other Controllers fly to the Wall! Verdict-One despite its old old, still beautiful, atmospheric Game for 10-14 Hours!
