The game follows the story of Orpheus, a young man from Greece who sets out on an epic journey to save his beloved princess, Helene, from the god of death, Hades.
The game is set in ancient Greece, and you are tasked with exploring several different locations while fighting enemies and bosses along the way. You have a variety of weapons at your disposal such as swords, spears and bows; each weapon has its own unique attributes that can be used to defeat enemies or break through obstacles. You will also collect several items throughout your journey including magical items that give you special abilities such as invincibility or double damage.
As you progress through the game, you will come across various NPCs who will offer advice or give you items that can help you on your quest. There are also merchants scattered throughout the world who sell items such as health potions and upgrades for your weapons. As you make your way through each level, you must solve puzzles and navigate treacherous terrain in order to reach the end of each stage.
At the end of each level, there is a boss battle which requires strategy and quick reflexes in order to defeat them. Once all bosses are defeated, Orpheus reaches Hades’ domain where he must face off against Hades himself in order to rescue Helene from captivity. After defeating Hades and rescuing Helene, Orpheus returns home victorious with his beloved princess safe in his arms.
