Developer’s Description

By Interplay
Recruit your party of adventurers, battle for Athena, and survive long enough to become a demigod of Greek mythology.
Invictus starts where Homer's Odyssey leaves off. Athena, goddess of wisdom and war, is quite proud of Odysseus' victory, as she was the one who mentored him through his battles and adventures. She even brags to the other gods that she could take any mortal and change him into a hero of epic proportions. Poseidon, who has never been known as a gracious loser, spreads rumors that it was just dumb luck that Odysseus didn't die and that Athena couldn't do it again if her divine life depended on it.

The divine gauntlet has been thrown. Athena happily accepts Poseidon's challenge: she's always looking for ways to show him up, especially in front of their fellow gods on Mt. Olympus. Poseidon is so confident that she can't turn an ordinary mortal into a hero, he'll even throw in some real heroes to help this poor soul on his quest. If the player can win the ultimate battle, he will become a hero, a demigod.

Recruit new members from over 30 distinct units like Gorgons and Harpies with abilities like turning flesh to stone and wielding insidious poison. Manage your band well, as everyone improves with experience and the war party's membership carries over from mission to mission. Ten legendary heroes can be at your beck and call; order any four into battle at any time. Command Orion to summon the Rain of Arrows to pierce enemy flesh, bid Hercules to call forth ground-warping earthquakes, and order Cadmus to raise the dead for additional troops. Combining 3D environments with Voxel animation, the game world comes alive in beautiful, vivid detail. Intricately detailed heroes trek across unbelievably convincing worlds, from craggy mountains and boggy swamps to liquid lava fields and ancient bone worlds.
