He’s imprisoned most of the gods save for Zeus (who’s been stripped of his powers) and the titan Prometheus, who makes a bet with the king of the gods that a lowly human would be the one to save all of their asses. You see, Typhon has been freed from his eternal prison in Tartarus and seeks revenge on the gods who put him there, aiming to do so by destroying the veil that separates Tartarus from earth. It features a really nice mix of combat and puzzles, all wrapped in an appealing visual style. Much of the combat takes place in mid-air as well, with air combos playing a major part in almost every encounter. I came into Immortals: Fenyx Rising with essentially no expectations, and by the end of my time with it, I couldn’t wait to see and play more. Immortals Fenyx Rising™ brings grand mythological adventure to life. Over the years, my love of Greek mythology and video games has intersected many times to varying degrees of success. You’ll also find godly powers as you progress through the game, like Hephaestus’ hammer, a melee attack that deals massive damage over a large area, and Apollo’s arrows, which you can manually guide to your target. This will allow you to perform powerful or fast attacks with legendary weapons like the Hammer of Hephaestus or the Axe of Atalanta. Play as Fenyx, a new winged demigod, on a quest to save the Greek gods. My demoist had given me ample resources to level up my Fenyx to my heart’s content, and yet when I faced the world boss (six in total) at the island’s apex, I got my ass handed to me REAL QUICK. Atari founder Nolan Bushnell later cloned Pong from a tennis game on the Magnavox Odyssey. The fate of the world is at stake – you are the gods’ last hope. The Golden Isle is broken up into a number of areas that you’ll need to explore and battle your way through to drive back the forces of Tartarus. Exploring the Golden Isle was my favorite thing I did during my demo time for several reasons. From the moment you assume control of Fenyx, the entire Golden Isle is open for you to explore.

While Ubisoft is obviously taking inspiration from Zelda, the game does still feel like it’s coming from the French publisher. Ubisoft announced that date at last year’s E3, but it moved the launch back as part of a plan to overhaul all the company’s upcoming games. Both heroes have powers where they can control objects with telekinesis.
Pre-order now for the bonus quest, A Tale of Fire and Lightning! Immortals has a voice of its own, and more importantly than that, from what I’ve played so far, the gameplay is absolutely on par with the game’s it’s derived many of its designs from. These abilities build up pretty quickly, so it pays to whip them out as often as possible.

Your character’s skill tree is also managed here, and I found that most of the abilities I saw seemed pretty viable in combat and worth exploring, regardless of playstyle. You play as said human, a warrior named Fenyx who has washed up on the shores of the Golden Isle after an epic sea battle caused her ship to crash. Gear is customizable and upgradeable at the game’s central hub, the Hall of the Gods, where you can change your appearance, upgrade your stats and potions, take on quests, etc. For example, SNES city-building classic ActRaiser came to mind, a game I still have a lot of affection for. The upcoming open-world adventure looks like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for a reason. I recently had a chance to go hands-on with Immortals Fenyx Rising and found it to be a enjoyably fun jaunt into the world of Greek mythology, blending legitimately funny humor, varied combat, and downright diabolical environmental puzzles.

– Wield the powers of the gods like Achilles' sword and Daidalos' wings to battle powerful enemies and solve ancient puzzles. But the resemblance to Breath of the Wild is pretty uncanny. For one, traversal is super easy and a lot of fun, especially once you unlock the Wings of Daedalus, which allow you to glide freely over the grassy fields and winding beaches that stretch out before you. And the art design in these sections falters too — a bunch of stone structures floating in space with a pretty galactic backdrop got old quick. It takes place in an Ancient Grecian setting, and … well, it feels like a Kid Icarus version of Breath of the Wild. You can be sure that we’ll be bringing you more on Immortals Fenyx Rising as we get closer to the game’s release on Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S on December 3.
