Storyline is uninspired and numbing at best. The interpretation of every single one of these gods is dumbed down to the point where I'd absolutely believe this is a game made for children. Starting off with Hera, she's essentially just Zeus' sidepiece! Her entire station as Queen of the gods, goddess of marriage, and a woman who definitely does more than lightly scold her husband- has been simply TOSSED aside! The …

I've really enjoyed this game so far - relaxed atmospheric setting, clean art style & enjoyable script. The game really helps you keep on track of the tasks and integrates an innovative "radar" mechanic that helps you to find objects so you don't get stuck. Its running flawlessly on linux for me through proton. edit: I've played through now, it's a great game for adults and kids - a good family safe intro to greek …

For the reviewers complaining this was not true to traditional Greek myths, did the concept of Greek gods on vacation not tip you off in the beginning? Or the modern, funky character art? Or literally anything in the game description on Steam? This is a cozy, puzzle game that's perfect for the completionist crowd. The characters and dialogue is well thought out and I had a great time playing it. Really loved seeing …

I love Greek mythology. I got this game because it had to do with Greek mythology. However... these are not those gods. Do not expect them to be those gods and you'll be much better off. I would say look at them as ordinary people who gained the powers and the name of the original gods because they embodied the same traits. The game, even with some fast travel ports, does have you running around a lot, and it's …

Beautiful graphics animated with a lot of care, it's lovely to explore this cozy and charming world. Honestly feels like being on vacation with a bunch of wacky gods. (My personal fave is Aphrodite!) Very polished and original take on classic Greek mythology in a wholesome and family-friendly package. The character designs are truly unique and the UI is thoughtfully designed, with a easy to navigate quest and map …

neutral · AI labelView post →One of the trickiest parts of Mythwrecked has been balancing the colour palette for the various times of day, and the transitions between them (the game has a dynamic day/night cycle). With Röki (our last indie game), all scenes had a static colour scheme, so this was a whole new ball game...

The depiction of the different Gods and Goddesses other than Aphrodite and maybe Hades is abysmal. Hera is left as Zues' side piece rather than a fully fleshed-out character. You don't meet all of the Gods of the main 12 and they all just sit there. And if I have to pick one more golden apple I will riot. Overall I think what makes…
