Comments are overwhelmingly negative and ratings are horrible, yet this game gets badges and a challenge? Where is the 'bribe Greg' button, I wonder?

1. pause button
2. fix lag
3. archers can shoot you when you don't see them
4. why dont sheilds block swords and spears?
5. make achilles faster than all enemies (except maybe bosses), you do realize who achilles is right?
6. take off the random damage
7. spears are reusable

It's too repetitive. I lost interest after one level. You could make it into something, if you just add some combo's, more weapons, equip system and some different enemies. Oh, and cut down on the awful lag.

Too much randomness in this game, which includes the following: The same attack deals variable amounts of damage, the same command can result in different attacks, kicks don't always stun, enemies can appear quickly so that you're fighting multiples but sometimes don't, enemies can stunlock you. You don't move fast enough to be able to evade anything either.

Very difficult game.... never get knee'd between the legs by two guys at the same time, you're screwed.
The whole KO luck-based thing is really silly. I can't believe instant-kills are based on probability, depending on what kind of attack your character decides to do (swinging the sword around versus stabbing the guy in the stomach).
I liked the simplicity of it though.
For v2, I suggest that we don't take damage anywhere other than our heel, but don't program the enemies to attack anywhere lower than the waist. And maybe clip out a face of Brad Pitt onto the hero.
I think that deserves at least 10 badge achievements.

stupid fu**** up game... I wonder why kongregate even bothered to get some badges for this. Horrible controls, no pause button, too many glitches, 2 guys can easily kil you coz you lose focus, random damage etc. Horrible.

This game has a few issues.
1.)There's not enough range with the kick. It looks like you're right next to the enemy, but you still miss when you kick.
2.) Achilles doesn't recover from making an attack fast enough. An enemy can swing his sword twice in the time it takes for Achilles to lower his leg after a kick.
3.) If enemies come from both sides of the screen at the same time, you're screwed.

This is a 2d sidescrolling game where you slaughter enemies with sword and spear. It's not bad but it has a lot of problems and it's very repetitive. I found the combat to be a little strange as it seemed sometimes I would kill enemies in one hit and then other times it would take several and I couldn't figure out if I was doing it somehow or if it's just random. If there is more to the combat system than I'm getting, I think there should be better instructions. Archers fire at you from off screen which is a minor nuisance but nothing game breaking. Pretty mediocre gameplay but it looks appealing and you do get a couple of minutes enjoyment before it just becomes a chore.

Still a good game, but it does lag. Some enemies when hit with a spear will glitch, the spear will disappear they launch an attack and then die. Archers can shoot off screen. There is no pause button. An there is no real control of what direction you are facing. The automatic system is lacking, especially in close quarters. And if you want to redo an old level you have to replay all of the stages without dying. Sure it makes it harder, but not by a measure of skill so much as what a person is willing to endure.

Cheap Tip: When you have a spear, you can (sometimes) jump up and try to stab a guy's head. It sometimes insta-kills, other times only does 1/10 hp.

Suggestions:
A "Back to Main menu" button after clicking normal mode (if you have a saved game)
and please make it so the medium badge (100 kills in survival mode) also works for normal mode, because then my precious kills made in normal mode (which is harder) go to waste

I like the glitch where the archer gets to shoot 1 last arrow before he falls over dead with the spear through his chest. That's not unfair at all. Any time 2 opponents get together you're in for a world of hurt.

Gets pretty cheap. I took a spearmans head off yet he still hit me after. I get kicked about 10 times in a row by a swordman while another sclices me.

Agreed with the below, controls are doable but badly done, plus difficulty against multiple enemies = very tedious game.

Honestly I think this game is (insert poop-related curse word here). The fighting system was crap, the blood looked like ketchup, the damage had NO consistency at all, and finally ACHILLES IS FREAKING INVINCIBLE!!!! If he got stabbed in the face he wouldn't even be hurt!!! EVER HEARD OF ACHILLES HEEL or ACHILLES TENDON!?!?!?! God dammit creator, learn your fricking Greek Mythology before you make a CRAPPY, INACCURATE game.

Horrible AI, bad movement. My guy faced the completely wrong direction so i couldnt attack a guy and i got pwn because of this glitch. Stacking enemies is a horrible problem. Also, many of my attacks missed for no reason.
