Now on Steam: Action RPG Achilles - Legends Untold still has potential [Update]


from Michael Miskulin etc –
Now updated: The Soulslike game Achilles – Legends Untold from the development team Dark Point Games is coming soon for PC on Steam on May 12th, 2022. We want to introduce you to the action RPG and show you what it’s about.

Original article from 04/24/2022: Achilles – Legends Untold is a Soulslike game by indie developer Dark Point Games and will soon be available on Steam. As the title suggests, the player takes on the role of the mythical figure Achilles. He takes part in Achilles’ journey, which is at the center of a centuries-long conflict between the gods Hades and Ares.

Namely, the young Achilles is sent to fight against Phobos, son of the god of war, and travels through mythological lands and collects powerful artifacts. Against this background, Achilles – Legends Untold presents itself as an isometric action role-playing game inspired by soulslike games and hack and slash games. In contrast to the Soulslike genre, the developers have turned down the level of difficulty significantly, after all, they want to create an experience that is easy to learn but difficult to master.

The gameplay is based on skill-based combat, role-playing elements and the management of your own resources. Each item can be useful to the forge god Hephaestus for new forged weapons or pieces of equipment. Because the opponents are getting harder and heavier. In Achilles – Legends Untold, an AI system called GAIA ensures that the AI ​​opponents should feel lifelike and, according to the developers, also work together in unpredictable ways. The monsters should adapt to the player’s playing style and try different strategies or plan an ambush attack. Achilles – Legends Untold will be released on May 12, 2022 for PC on Steam.

Release done, “balanced” rating

Update from 05/13/2022: Meanwhile, Legends Untold has appeared on Steam. According to Darkpoint Games, the title has been in the works for 1.5 years and is expected to mature in Early Access for another year. Reviews so far say that the action role-playing game has potential but wasn’t quite ready for a pre-release. Control and combat therefore still need a lot of work. The agreement is 69 percent, i.e. “balanced”, so all is far from lost here.
