The Curse of Issyos is a nostalgic arcade game that captures the essence of late-1980s classics like Rygar and Castlevania for NES. Set in the rich world of Greek mythology, this action-packed platformer challenges you to rescue your daughter from Hades. The game features seven levels that can be completed in about 45 minutes, but its hidden secrets and a secret level that alters the ending will keep you coming back for more. Despite its brief playtime, the variety of scenarios, enemies, and weapons ensures an engaging experience for fans of classic gameplay. Inspired by iconic creatures from Wrath of the Titans and Ray Harryhausen's supernatural films, you'll encounter medusas, armed skeletons, and giant scorpions as you journey through pristine beaches, dark caves, and ancient ruins. Dive into The Curse of Issyos for a thrilling retro adventure!
Decent game overall. I enjoyed the artwork and character designs. However, the pacing felt off at times, which brought the experience down for me. It has its strengths, but I wonder if the next updates will improve things.
