Kratos is all about action, so expect to jam on the 5 button regularly to use his brutal attacks. The action and puzzle elements are very much true to the original PS2 games - this really is an extension of the God of War universe. But it's important to note right away that God of War: Betrayal is not just a cookie-cutter platformer with Kratos pasted over some other non-descript hero. Kratos' first mobile adventure is a 2D side-scroller, not entirely unlike those we saw during the glory days of the 16-bit generation. In telling the tale of Kratos' rise before a spectacular fall at the beginning of God of War II, many will tremble at the feet of this warrior-god and many a god will be displeased. It also features puzzles and platforming elements.God Of War: Betrayal fills in the gaps between the first two God of War games, when Kratos defeated Ares to claim an Olympian throne and got something of a big head about it. The player can use up to four magical attacks and a power-enhancing ability as alternative combat options. It features quick time events that require the player to complete various game controller actions in a timed sequence to defeat stronger enemies and bosses. The gameplay of God of War focuses on combo-based combat, achieved through the player’s main weapon-the Blades of Chaos-and a secondary weapon acquired later in the game. As Ares besieges Athens out of hatred for Athena, Kratos embarks on a quest to find the one object capable of stopping the god once and for all: Pandora’s Box. The goddess Athena tasks Kratos with killing Ares, the God of War and Kratos’ former mentor who tricked Kratos into killing his wife and daughter. The player controls the protagonist Kratos, a Spartan warrior who serves the Olympian Gods. Loosely based on Greek mythology, it is set in ancient Greece with vengeance as its central motif. First released on March 22, 2005, for the PlayStation 2 (PS2) console, it is the first installment in the series of the same name and the third chronologically.
