Originally releasing via Early Access on Steam back on November 2nd 2023, Achilles is now primed for a Switch release on January 23,2025. Developed by Dark Point Games, Achilles: Legends Untold, is a souls-like ARPG that features unique weapons, items, skills, and a story set in ancient Greece. The title is sitting currently at Very Positive recent reviews on Steam.
Whether Achilles was a real figure is up to interpretation, but your experience with Legends Untold will be a very real one. After the War of Troy, the player returns to Greece to find your homeland engulfed in chaos. The story takes players through ancient and diverse locations of Mycenae. I originally played Achilles back during a PAX some years ago and very much enjoyed my time with it. So I’m excited to see that experience being translated to a portable experience.
