Apotheon is a heroic action game set within the vibrant world of Ancient Greek Mythology. Ascend Mount Olympus, wrestle the divine powers from the Pantheon of Gods, and save mankind.
We already covered the beta thanks to an article from Keizgon who covered it rather well, so we won't re-hash it, but it's great to see it officially out now.
Their announcement:

Quoting: GuestAny clue how GOG go about determining windows/mac/linux sales?
I've been staring at this game on GOG for a little while, and I'll likely purchase as soon as I'm convinced there aren't any show stopper problems with it.
Since it's simply a website, and not a client (e.g. Steam), I would assume it uses tracker tools like any other site that display OS and web browser information you provide. Just buy it logged into a Linux desktop if you're worried.

Yeah, GOG uses your browser's user agent to determine which system requirements to display at least. When you browse the site with a browser on Linux you'll only see Linux system requirements by default, while Windows and Mac system requirements are hidden under a collapse. Setting your user agent to something gibberish actually results in no system requirements at all being displayed, so there's no default OS.

I try to buy from Humble when possible; that way I can get a Steam key and a DRM-free build ^^

Having a ball with it so far; though the performance does seem kinda shaky, I keep getting screen tearing and a bit of stutter in some areas. And while I understand all games, even 2D platformers, are getting more demanding, seems a bit strange on my GTX 760 & i7 4770 
That said, the game itself is quite a gem. The combat is responsive and engaging, the visuals are lovely (if not confusing sometimes), and the voice acting is pretty decent. The comparisons to Dark Souls' combat are pretty accurate, but if you want the same challenge I recommend turning up the difficulty, as the regular enemies are pretty doughy :P

Did you use a frame counter to see if it was dropping in frames?... Because I thought the same thing for awhile but for me it was just the way running works in the game as the character constantly speeds up and slows down a lot. Other than the lack of a consistent run speed I am enjoying the game personally.

Bought it a few days ago, and it´s a really nice game! Runs great (except for one crash) on my GTX770.
