About this game

The 1988 classic action-RPG returns! The original creators are rebuilding the code and redrawing the pixel art for a handcrafted Steam remake of a mythic journey across ancient Greece.

The Battle For Olympus was developed by Infinity and Radical Entertainment for the Nintendo Entertainment System and Nintendo GameBoy. It was released in 1988, the year after Zelda II was released. The game borrowed many concepts from the popular Zelda game, utilizing various special weapons and tools as the game progresses.

The Battle For Olympus takes place in Ancient Greece, which is being tormented by the ruler of the underworld-Hades. Orpheus, the main protagonist of the game, must rescue his girlfriend Helene from Hades. The game incorporates a number of different mythological creatures from Greek lore; including Cyclopes, Centaurs, and Medusa-as well as numerous Greek gods. Orpheus, using various upgrades in weaponry, travels deep into the underworld to defeat Hades, conquering numerous foes on the way.
