About

As the King of Iolcus, Jason had everything – a prosperous kingdom, the respect of his peers and a beautiful fiancé. But when she was assassinated on their wedding day, Jason vowed to take revenge on her killers – to do anything to restore her life and earn back the respect of his subjects. To accomplish this heroic feat, Jason must seek out the Golden Fleece and with the help of Greek mythology’s greatest heroes, set sail on the most epic voyage of all.

    The best way to describe Rise of the Argonauts is a poor man's Mass Effect. It's too heavy on frivolities and too light on gameplay. It's an ambitious effort, and with some additional development the vision could have been realized. Those who place story above gameplay in their personal hierarchy should give it a shot, but if you're looking for something rewarding to do between the bits of exposition you won't find it here.

    We missed a critical plot development early on because of this, and when we reloaded our save game and tried again, the game simply skipped over the entire scene and then auto-saved – and since you’re only allowed one save file, we were pretty much screwed. Rise of the Argonauts has a nice story and something to offer, but shortcomings like this chip away at the fun and ultimately keep the game from matching its legendary sources of inspiration.

    Although rough around the edges, "Rise of the Argonauts" uses its historically inspired setting to its advantage to create a memorable and fun action rpg. Fun spins on well known characters, a fast-paced story, and region-based maps (without the pitfalls of an open world), make this one a worthy adventure.
