About this gameFull description from Steam
You are a fallen Spartan, cast into the Crossroads - the liminal realm between the mortal world and the Underworld. Denied the warrior's afterlife you were promised, you must fight your way from spurned mortal to a legend that rivals the gods themselves. In this Greek mythology-inspired survival adventure explore a vast, beautiful and treacherous continent. Build an idyllic Greek palace, forge powerful gear and descend into the temples of the Olympians to strip them of their most powerful artifacts. FORGE YOUR ODYSSEY The Crossroads sits at the edge of the Underworld - a vast, untamed continent of ancient ruins and treacherous wilds. Hunt, gather and craft from the land to grow in strength. With great stamina, achieve the divine power of gliding to explore its furthest reaches, uncover powerful loot, solve ancient riddles, and cut down the mythical beasts and fallen heroes that stand between you and the power of the gods. BUILD YOUR ACCROPOLIS Conquer the lands and build a home worthy of legend. From humble shelters and sprawling temple complexes, to grand monuments that attest your power, the world is yours to claim and grace in your image. DEFY THE GODS Raid the temples of the gods, defeat the mythical bosses that stand in your path, and break the seals of Olympus. Feast on the spoils of the land, forge armor and weapons of legend, and seize the gods' most powerful weapons to cut, bash, or spear your way through the mystery of the abandoned Crossroads. BAND TOGETHER Dawn of Defiance is fully playable solo offline or in co-op, with support up to 4 players. Venture into the Crossroads with your allies to divide and conquer the land together, sharing quest rewards amongst players. Customize your character to create a legend that is truly your own, while custom server settings shape the experience to your design and intensity. Please note: We utilize Epic Online Services for our backend to enable cross-play compatibility for those that want to play with friends regardless of where they purchased the game. This requires an installation of an EOS dependency to allow the game to communicate with backend systems. You do not need to install Epic Games Store, nor have an Epic account to play our game. If you are playing on Steam, the only data that this EOS dependency pulls from you is publicly available information related to your steam account.
