Athena

This game is so close to being great, but it's held back by a few major flaws. For this price (<10$) you should definitely get it, as it's unique and a great addition to any collection, but you probably won't play it much for the following reasons. 1. annoying and extremely repetitive music (I recommend muting it and putting on your own soundtrack) 2. no invincibility frames after being hit (You know how in most games when you get hit you have a short period of time to get away before you're hit again, well that isn't the case with this game. The result is that you're going to take massive damage from any enemy that touches you if you don't immediately get away) 3. downgrades galore (imagine getting the best equipment in the game, and then accidentally touching something that immediately strips them all away... not cool)

This obscure action/adventure game could surprise you with its interesting gameplay and its 'cult' status for fans of the genre. Think Adventure of Link meets Battle for Olympus, or Clash at Demonhead. and graphics/gameplay that are cartoony as in Puss N Boots / Little Nemo the Dream Master with a flair for the adventure side of things, and you'll know if this game warrants a trial for you. 7/10
