Our take on Oracle Trials
The game combines platforming, combat, scoring, and educational material, so its focus is divided rather than dedicated to one system. Players seeking deep role-playing progression or highly specialized platforming may find that breadth comes at the expense of depth in either area.
What is Oracle Trials?
Oracle Trials is a 2D platformer set in an ancient world of gods and myths.
Players control Leonidas, who must recover the Oracle's stolen treasures and restore its power after an attack by Phalanx warriors. Levels move through Greek temples, desert tombs, and other Mediterranean settings, with hazards, wild beasts, and human enemies. Combat can involve many opponents at once, while enemy behavior includes pursuing the player and responding to their actions. Each level presents information about Greek oracles, ancient mysteries, and related myths. The game also tracks prestige and scores, with the stated goal of reaching the highest possible result. Visual effects and vector-style artwork accompany the platforming and battles.
