God of War: Betrayal

God of War: Betrayal

Released2007
Betrayal is the only installment in the series to be released on a non-PlayStation platform and presented as a 2D side-scrolling game. Despite the limitations of the mobile platform, in comparison to its home console counterparts, it retains the action-oriented approach of its predecessors, with the same combination of combo-based combat, platforming, and puzzle game elements. Although God of War is primarily a home console series, Betrayal was praised for its fidelity to the series in terms of gameplay, art style, and graphics: "the real deal third game in the killer franchise". It received awards for "Wireless Game of the Month" (June 2007) and "Best Platform Game" (wireless) of 2007.

About This Game

Following his victory in God of War, Kratos leads his Spartan army on a sweeping campaign across Greece. The offensive is disrupted by Argos, a giant beast dispatched by Hera to halt the carnage—but before Kratos can deal the killing blow, an unknown assassin strikes Argos down, framing Kratos in the eyes of the Olympian gods. Pursuing the assassin through Greece while fighting off waves of Hades' minions, Kratos is intercepted by Ceryx, son of Hermes, carrying a direct message from Zeus demanding he cease his destruction. Kratos refuses, defeats Ceryx, and kills him—a decision that silences the gods for now but guarantees Zeus will eventually move against him.
