  To say that Okhlos is repetitive is largely true, but it’s that repetitiveness that ultimately makes the game addictive. The narrative, gameplay, visuals, and even the music all combine to make a game that screams “angry Greek mob”. Okhlos is quirky, fun, and unique all under a simplistic and straightforward structure that makes it accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

  As much as I enjoy the tone of Okhlos and its silly but well-informed take on Greek mythology, its repetitive format and simplistic gameplay hook aren't an engaging combination. I'd like to see every little goofy reference it has to offer, but the motivation to push through the grind just isn't there.

  Even with some moments where the game feels a bit too frantic, damned if Okhlos isn’t a ton of fun. Each game will be quite quick (typically resulting in your death) and has that old-school feel that perfectly captures the joy of blasting away hordes of enemies, but this time with a swords-and-sandals twist. It really does get a lot of mileage and joy out of putting a freaky spin on Greek mythology, resulting in a charming, cute and funny game that looks terrific and plays just as well.

  Resumiendo, Okhlos es un juego divertido y que merece que le echemos más de una partida, además de que dado su origen argentino está perfectamente escrito en español. Por desgracia le falta cierto pulido para ser perfecto, aunque ciertamente conocemos pocas turbas que lo sean.

  Okhlos è un'idea accattivante che si è trasformata in un titolo sì scoppiettante, ma limitato. È facile comprendere come sia riuscito ad appassionare il pubblico durante alcune fiere, visto che l'impatto iniziale è davvero eccezionale. Purtroppo l'effetto ipnotico di andarsene in giro a demolire edifici e nemici si esaurisce velocemente e ben presto subentra un senso di ripetitività che ci si riesce a scrollare di dosso, soprattutto in virtù di un sistema di gioco che spesso crea situazioni poco leggibili.
