It's cool, it's fun, you will tear your hair out when they force you to do precise platforming with floaty, laggy, camera sliding, ice physics controls in the middle of a thunder storm with Zeus pelting you with lightning bolts while you try to get one auto attack in on a minion so you can get an item that has one use that chips a tiny fraction of Zeus' health off before he falls down a cliff and leaves you with the AGONIZING decision of whether to chase him to put a few extra hits in during his five seconds of vulnerability, or just accept that this will be an all night affair because the next minion you have to kill spawns at the top of the map and you're sure as hell not climbing back up here, and then you get to the final stage of that fight and Zeus is just faster than you and has a longer reach and the block button just takes unscheduled holiday leave because the real challenge is surviving the controls, and then you finally, FINALLY manage to win and your game crashes and the auto-save didn't register that you'd accomplished it, so you have to go back and do it again, all the while cursing the gods more than Nikandreos if they were cutting his balls off.

In summary, Apotheon is a really fun game with great artwork but the controls are maddening at times, especially for the pace of the game and platforming elements, and there are issues with it crashing at times. It was worth the $4 I got it for on sale. Overall game was 8/10. Final boss battle brought it down to a 6/10, due to sheer frustration, and I doubt I'll pick up the game again for a long while. It is re-playable, and would be interesting to do so, but frankly I'm too frustrated with it to enjoy it again for at least a month.
