Basically a smaller scale Mass Effect clone but with Greek mythology. It's a hack 'n slash game where you meet other companions along the way and based on what Gods you favour, you unlock certain abilities.

Solid action-RPG that was underrated. Sadly, it just got delisted by Codemasters and EA on other stores - so, it would be nice to get GOG to find a way to preserve this underrated action-RPG hybrid.

I'm voting for this because EA delisted it from Steam. This is a good game that deserves to be preserved. This game, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Titan Quest and Age of Mythology are all great examples of video games based on Greek mythology.
One of the only Greek mythology games that gets it right. The atmosphere, the music, the combat, the choices, the story.. It's a niche game, you love or hate it and I consider it one of the best games I've ever played. Makes the generic AC Odyssey look like trash even for a 2008 game.
One of the best action RPG games based in Greek Mythology setting. Past beyond most of games of its time. A true gem, deserve more attention and a resurrection. I appeared here while looking for this game to play again and GOG felt the only place where I could find it (legally).
I wishlisted this game on Steam in Oct 2024 because I always loved the greek themed action games of the 2000s era. In March 2025 I noticed the game was delisted and it never warned me cause it didn't go on sale. I wish I had the chance to play this game. It's like my Golden Fleece...

Dragon Warrior III
Dragon Warrior IIIDragon Warrior III is a top-down role-playing game where you travel around the overworld, caves, castles, cities and other locations while battling random encounters, buying equipment, and talking to people. You and your party members receive experience when they beat up monsters and level up with enough experience, increasing their stats. The game features a day/night cycle - as you travel, day slowly changes to night and vice versa; shops are typically closed at night. You begin with control of just the main character but can quickly recruit three more members to your party. During the game you can choose to drop your current characters and recruit others at any time. The recruitable characters are divided into six classes: soldier, fighter, merchant, goof-off, pilgrim and wizard. The game has a unique job system, giving you the ability to switch your hired characters' classes after they have achieved at least level 20 in their base class. Characters can switch to the other beginning classes, as well as the sage class, which is not available at the beginning. When a character switches classes, they lose all earned experience points, and half of their stats, but retain all the abilities of the previous class. In this way, you can create powerful combination characters that are able to cast spells and fight effectively.
