DestructoidPatrick HancockFeb 20159.5/10It's sure to capture the attention of anyone who sees it in action. Thankfully, the game more than backs up its aesthetic prowess with rewarding combat and exploration systems in place. While the combat hardly changes over the course of the adventure, Apotheon asks the player to apply their knowledge in such a wide variety of ways that it constantly feels fresh and exciting. The ancient Greeks valued balance and harmony in their art, and Alientrap has accomplished just that.

Paste MagazineJavy GwaltneyFeb 20159/10What is [Apotheon's] song? One of delight and wonder, I would argue, an expression of unabashed love for myth. That it's possible to turn such love into an engrossing adventure that coalesces in a way so few games do reminds me of my own love for games and of their potential as a medium of beautiful expression. Apotheon, then, is the kind of videogame we need more of.

Rock, Paper, ShotgunPhilippa WarrFeb 2015With such a light story and relatively sparse worlds the game needed its combat to feel polished in order to shine. Sadly the unwieldy controls mean it's an interesting-looking game which never quite delivers.

GameSkinnyMatt PaprockiFeb 20155/10 starsStunningly unique but ultimately messy, Apotheon is enthralling Greek mythology caught in the grips of unfriendly combat.
