Genre: Action RPG
Review:
Rise Of The Argonauts features Jason and Odysseus who are the heroes that roamed unfamiliar lands, encountered bizarre and powerful creatures, and often received rewards for their trials and tribulations to help them vanquish enemies or otherwise make their travels more convenient.
Although the genre of Action Rpg games isnt new,RPG fanatics might b slightly dissappointed by removing the typical RPG genre complications and adding a simple combat engine with a heavy emphasis on passive abilities and the mechanical repetition of light and heavy attacks, block, and dodge moves, the game can't fully satisfy action or RPG appetites.
The story is a compelling one where, Jason and the Argonauts, aboard his ship, the Argo, still seek the Golden Fleece, but this time to revive his fallen wife, Alceme, who is assaulted by a shadowy organization at the beginning. Since the plot and appearances by famous characters from Greek mythology are some of the best bits of the game, we won't get into many more specifics, save to say you'll encounter plenty of magical beasts and demons, and the tale includes Titans, Tartarus, centaurs, satyrs, and, of course, a prophecy.
A Mass Effect-style conversation system makes the interactions more engaging and much more enjoyable.Repetitive moves like the basic attack, defend dodge is a bit of a downer as there is no enhancement osf skill moves as the game is played along.
IGN have given this game a rating of 6.5, but its definitely more worth than that. i would say around 7.5.
