- DirectorDon ChaffeyStarsTodd ArmstrongNancy KovackGary RaymondThe legendary Greek hero leads a team of intrepid adventurers in a perilous quest for the legendary Golden Fleece.An epic adventure, timeless stop motion monsters that have a real charm over modern CGI. Favourite moment - Talos the giant bronze statue.
- DirectorDesmond DavisStarsLaurence OlivierHarry HamlinClaire BloomPerseus must battle Medusa and the Kraken to save the Princess Andromeda.Another timeless adventure, more stop motion magic by Ray Harryhausen. Favourite moment - Medusa, the style, tension and cinematography (outshines the 2000 remake in everyway)

Favourite moment - "I AM HERCULESSSS" the moment he has to believe in himself.
- StarsArmand AssanteGreta ScacchiIsabella RosselliniFollows Odysseus on his wanderings back to Ithaca following the Trojan War.An epic adventure, sometimes silly, sometimes deep with Odysseus never ending loyalty to his land and wife.

- StarsDerek JacobiOlivia WilliamsAngus MacfadyenOne of the most legendary adventures in all mythology is brought to life in an epic saga of one man's quest for the Golden Fleece, a gift from the gods.Couldn't pull off the original magic of the classic but an enjoyable adventure if you enjoy Greek mythology. Favourite moment - Hercules lending a hand by pushing the beached boat out.

- DirectorJonathan DumontScott PhillipsSophie Ann RooneyStarsMelissanthi MahutMichael AntonakosLeonidas CastrounisSet in 431 BC during the Pelopenesian War, play as either a male or female mercenary as you embark on your own epic odyssey to become a legendary Spartan hero in a world where every choice matters.This game is a dream for fans of Ancient Greece, while not perfect it delivers a truly EPIC RPG adventure, Monsters can be found in the game but are local legends which need discovering so not overused. Both the music and graphics are beautiful. The game hides many Greek tales within quests and side missions.
It's only weakness's is its slow to start, some side missions are repetitive and the game is overwhelmingly massive.
I have easily sunk over 100 hours in this, with no end in sight.
Favourite moment - Finding the Cyclops on "The bay of nobody" and discovering Medusa's lair gave me chills. - DirectorEd Del CastilloStarsXander BaileySusanne BlakesleeBrian BloomJason, a Greek king set out for the quest to seek the Golden Fleece to bring back his wife Alceme from death.With a little patience you can find an enjoyable action adventure, The game starts out very basic and slowly uncovers what it has to offer, the simple combat becomes very in depth, switching weapons in real time in the middle of a battle to defeat some foes (I'm looking at you Achilles).
While the adventuring isn't open world the story and variation makes up for it.
A great twist on the Argonauts adventure, seen as a poor mans God of War but I prefer the combat here.
Favourite moment - Defeating Achilles after so many attempts gave me a warm glow inside. - DirectorMario AzzopardiHiroshi KadowakiStarsNick MancusoColin GlazerDavid RosserSangue,vendetta, furia.. Nothing else.. leggendAlong the same lines of Dynasty warriors, repetitive but fun, kill a few 100 people, story moves along, kill a few 100 more. I found it fun in short bursts as I wanted to see the story though.
Favourite moment - The beach attack on the first level shows off it's epic battle scale. - StarsGrey GriffinGreg EllisTara StrongHades has unleashed his minions and you must conquer all or be conquered, in this epic war of the gods. Relive the adventures of Perseus as you battle through a vast mythical underworld with over 100 different enemies.I really love the title screen, as for the game it's a very basic hack and slash though levels game.
nothing bad nothing great, while the 2010 movie is worth a watch this is skippable.
Favourite moment - Some of the boss fights mix it up a bit. - StarsCarlos AlazraquiJack AngelMichael BeattieTitan Quest follows a player-created protagonist as they navigate Ancient Greece, Egypt and China on a quest to defeat the Titans after they escape from their ancient prison.Is a top down isometric action RPG, it focuses on adventure, getting loot and character development. Now available on most platforms, from phones, Switch, PC and other consoles.
- God of the Underworld Hades has kidnapped Eurydice. Only Orpheus can to rescue her girlfriend in an epic odyssey along the entire Ancient Greece.An old NES and Gameboy game, side scrolling non-linear action adventure (similar to Zelda 2), quite a tough challenge. A spiritual successor is available on Steam under the name "Prometheus the fire thief"
Favourite moment - I never finished the game but I really like the title music.
- StarsWarren BurtonSean DonnellanJean GilpinArkantos, the heroic admiral of Atlantis, looks for a cause of a series of menacing omens, and accidentally intervenes in the titans' dark plan of preparing an uprising against the gods.From the age of empires series, an enjoyable real time strategy game with enough variety in missions to keep you going.
Favourite moment - using the titans addon pack and first time using them to crush your foe. - DirectorStig AsmussenStarsGeorge BallAdrienne BarbeauSusanne BlakesleeArmed with his deadly double-chained blades, Kratos must take on Greek mythology's darkest creatures to destroy Olympus and the mighty Zeus himself.God of War series up till the 2018 game (which is Norse) is based on Greek Mythology.
it's a visceral and visual hack and slash action game that generally focuses on Kratos's rage and fight against mount Olympus.
Epic boss fights and story are worth watching on YouTube even if you don't plan on playing it.
Favourite moment - The cinematic boss fights. - DirectorAles UlmProject Numen is performed in the genre action / RPG and promises a number of beneficial differences from competing products: original game world, fascinating plot, innovative elements of game mechanics and competently worked combat system. The game takes place in the stunningly beautiful world of ancient Greece, where mythical creatures, legendary heroes and ambitious gods came to life. On the broad coasts and stony plains are many politicians and villages, full of both hostile and friendly residents with a couple of other quests for the soul. And on top of this idyllic imperiously look immortal Olympians. Immortals, but not at all impassive, they argued among themselves, who can rightfully be called the most powerful in the pantheon. There was a wise decision to avoid civil strife: the god who will train the most powerful hero from a sort of the human will win. This task falls on the player's shoulders. The selection of one of the three classes of the character (magician, warrior, hunter) follows the selection of the patron god (three for each of the classes). From these decisions depends everything that will happen next. Divine mentors are characterized by bonuses, receptions, talents and abilities that you can get from them. The style of the game, quests and secret locations also vary depending on the deity. The character should perform rituals and rituals. Often there are meetings with heroes-competitors - usually on a specially provided Arena. Sometimes heroes can be grouped together for the joint passage of particularly difficult quests (temporary truce of competitors is very helpful when you need to lime a dangerous enemy). Numen will cast a dark enemy against the player, including Cerberus, Gorgon Medusa, Charon, Cyclops, Centaurs, Nubians - We'll have to arm ourselves thoroughly, otherwise we will not be able to cope with the enemy. Fortunately, the best weapons can always be bought at auctions - bargaining is still as relevant.It was intended to be a massive multiplayer online game, however that was scraped and the game was released as a single player, gameplay wise it plays like most MMO's, click on what you want to attack, gain and use skills and better equipment. It's been left in a dull state, can't really recommend it.
Favourite moment - Little stands out, but it often appears in the Steam sale for a quid or less. - StarsRachel ReenstraLois NettletonCastulo GuerraHerc (Hercules), Atlanta (Atalanta), or Jason are on a quest to defeat Hades and save the goddess of nature.Came out on the PlayStation 1, I had no idea this existed till I found out it's a spiritual successor to "Zombies ate my neighbours" and "Ghoul Patrol", the same top down action gameplay, it's a collectors item, demanding a high price on Ebay.
- DirectorGianfranco ParoliniStarsBrad HarrisLuisella BoniMara BerniIn a tyrannical kingdom there is an evil ruler and a queen who lusts after Hercules who is attracted to a handmaiden. A rebellion overthrows the ruler.
- StarsGil AndrewsMeredith BostonRob BurchetteStrategy game to build a city in ancient Greece.
- StarsSonja BallEdward BoscoSungWon ChoApotheon is a 2D platform action-rpg set on the rich stage of ancient Greek mythology. Hera, the queen of Olympus, has overthrown her husband Zeus, and taken his throne as ruler of the Gods. Bitter and scornful towards the race of mortals, she launches a murderous campaign to scour them from the earth. As humanity's last champion, you must pass through the land of the dead, infiltrate Mount Olympus, and end the wrath of the Gods. With sword, spear, and shield in hand, you will sneak, conspire, loot, and battle your way through majestic palaces and chthonic depths as you climb towards godhood. Only by stripping the old gods of their powers, and taking control of the elements as your own, can humanity hope to survive the coming oblivion. Along with a large single player campaign in a massive open world Mount Olympus, Apotheon will include online multiplayer with deathmatch and team based gamemodes.
