“Its a really fun old school game with cool combat and writing. A bit janky platforming but thats probably another charm of the game.”

“A bombastic hack and slash game that's very well-made, cheap and gives you a good 6 hour experience. It feels like a Michael Bay movie and has a thematic of Mayan culture. The game does a pretty good job of keeping…”

“85/100 I LOVE IT AND MADE THE 100%!!! A class b movie made game, really cheese. Same feeling as the God of War games from PS2/PSP but with less quicktimes. Decent powers, great weapons and environments. And the mayan…”
“It's classic God of War with a less serious tone. It's fast paces spectacle on deliberately framed intricate set pieces that hold up pretty well visually. Hack and slash gameplay with four weapons (plus projectile…”
“Weird game, you are rushing to the end from start to finish and you can feel it and see it by how many weapons you have left to dicover in the blacked out upgrade menu. You can also see where the studio cut corners with…”

“When a B-movie action hero finds a magic mask and says, “yeah sure, why not.” The plot is pure chaos—evil CEO, ancient gods, kidnapped girlfriend. Logic? Gone. Fun? Weirdly high.”

“It's okay for the spectacle but the gameplay is just a God of war clone but blocking isn't instant (so parrying projectiles doesn't work instantly and the tutorial teaches you wrong), dodging has no i-frames, and all…”

“Es un God of War con más explosiones pero menos pulido. Las plataformas son regulares, pero el combate es bueno. Es divertido, buen juego de acción.”

“This game is the closest you'll get to playing the older Greek god of war on PC. (As of writing this review) It is by far the cloniest of clone God of War games; this game does nothing new with the genre, just copies GOW 1 and 2, and still doesn't reach any of their level either…”
— a player, Steam review · 12 hrs played“Budget God of War (PS2). Surprisingly good. Nothing amazing, but works and lasts a good amount of time. Story is full of overused tropes, villian is cheesy. Puzzles exist but are mostly about pushing buttons in a set amount of time. Gameplay is very similar to God of War/Dante's…”
