4.0
It’s the lowest common denominator – a game that pulls from everywhere (Infinity Blade, God of War, objectionable design of women, etc.), and waters them down without adding anything of note. I’m going to say don’t buy it.

Critic reviews
- 7.0Prometheus, in his quest to steal the spark of fire from the gods, forgot to bring with him a spark of creativity. Godfire's parts are all correct, with its sharp visuals, great score, and grand boss battles, but most of the moment-to-moment gameplay fails to satisfy. If you want to smash video game monsters in Ancient Greece, you could do worse... but you could also do better.
- 6.0Vivid Games clearly had Olympian stars in their eyes when Godfire: Rise of Prometheus was conceived, but the final execution feels a bit too much like ticking off boxes on a checklist. What’s all the more frustrating is that there is clearly a lot of talent involved on the part of the people who put this together.
- 8.0Even with the issues noted above, Godfire is still one of the better action-adventure titles on iOS. Its visuals are easily top-tier, the story is intriguing and the combat system, while a bit monotonous, is still engaging (particularly with a controller). Most importantly, it’s fun, and I think it’s worth playing simply for the visuals and story. Regardless, assuming you can handle the combat and violence, I highly recommend picking up.
- 7.0Godfire: Rise of Prometheus has a meaty bounce to it, but its lack of subtlety will likely be too much for some to take.
- 8.0Godfire knows what it wants to be and stylishly executes on it, unfortunately a difficulty curve tweaked to drive IAPs undermines its appeal.
