Players describe it as a solid, mid-budget action RPG with soulslike combat and a Greek mythology setting. [1][2][3] Some find the combat repetitive and the game lacking depth, with few enemy types and uninspired loot. [4][5][6] Technical issues like crashes and misleading co-op tags are noted by several reviewers. [7][8][9]

Misleading "Online Co-op" tag - No Co-op Campaign My friend and I bought this specifically to play through the story together due to the "Online Co-op" store tag. It turns out co-op is restricted to a minor "challenge mode" with bite-sized maps that require solo progress to unlock. Tagging a game for co-op when the main campaign is strictly single-player feels deeply misleading to buyers looking for a true …

I didn't hate the game, it just didn't have much to offer. There's a lack of enemy types, you mostly just fight skeletons and humans; I was really hoping for more mythical beasts, but those are saved for tame boss battles. The game has soulslike mechanics, but the game isn't very difficult, even on the challenging difficulty. I only ran into an issue in one of the early portal fights, but after persevering, I ended …

Achilles: Legends Untold is not some hidden gem waiting to dethrone the big names of the genre. It's a solid, mid-budget action RPG that knows its limits and mostly sticks to them. I hit 100% achievements in about 21 hours, and honestly, that's the perfect length for it. Any longer, and I'd probably start questioning my life choices. The combat's serviceable - you swing, you roll, you block - nothing special, but it …

ACHILLES: LEGENDS UNTOLD is a Diablo-style ARPG that incorporates some lite soulslike mechanics. You play as Achilles after he's killed by Paris and wakes up in the land of the dead, and you have to murder all the bad guys and restore justice to Greece, or something like that. It starts off pretty strong for an indie game, but gets repetitive later on. Luckily, it's not a very long game so the repetitiveness isn't a …

Pretty basic game. This is not a special game of any sort, a story-driven ARPG with a souls-like flavor. Combat is fun, the Greek mythology setting is nice and it is good for a light top-down RPG but nothing extraordinary. 🎚️ Difficulty 🔲 My grandma could play it 🔲 Easy ☑️ Normal ☑️ Hard 🔲 A challenge to be reckoned 🔲 In the heat of confrontation, (Only PVP games) 🗺️ Graphics 🔲 MS Paint 🔲 Bad 🔲 Meh 🔲 …

68% of the 202 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Achilles: Legends Untold. The complaint that keeps coming up: combat gets repetitive and skills feel uninspired. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Achilles: Legends Untold received mixed reviews on Metacritic. Fellow review aggregator OpenCritic assessed that the game received fair approval, being recommended by 46% of critics. IGN called the early access version "undercooked and fairly broken" shortly after its launch. After the full release, GamingBolt praised the concept of combining Soulslike combat with Diablo-style loot, but they said the execution falls short.

60 of 348 · most liked firstAlright let’s try this again…. I get why the Colts did this given the lack of options, but some of the discourse around the market for Jones is confusing to me given the Achilles injury. Cousins took forever to get back to normal—Jones is younger, but athleticism is a big part of his game.

It turns out co-op is restricted to a minor "challenge mode" with bite-sized maps that require solo progress to unlock. Tagging a game for co-op when the main campaign is strictly single-player feels deeply misleading to buyers looking for a true cooperative experience. Avoid if you are buying this primarily for co-op.

neutral · AI labelView post →This is not a special game of any sort. A story-driven ARPG with a souls-like flavor. If you're craving a top-down couch game that is not too difficult with some light RPG elements, and you don't have anything else to play, then for the price tag (with and without sale), you get around 20 hours of gameplay, which is a good deal. The game has two modes, the main story one which keeps looping into new game +, and another arcade mode, where you defeat waves of enemies either solo or in coop.…

COMBAT: It's very good overall. Soulslike combat with light attack, heavy attack, charged heavy attack*, run+light/heavy attack, side step, roll, block, parry*, light and heavy counter attacks*, skills and special skills. The run + heavy attack with sword it's sooo funny and satisfying....and powerful. I liked that enemies don't heavily track…

The neutral: Music, Voice acting and Level design are all okay, nothing inspiring but alright. The bad: The combat gets old quickly, the skill system and loot are uninspired…
