Description

Spartan is a classic action platformer with pixel-perfect controls, old-school gameplay and unforgettable characters. Set in ancient Greece, you play as the heroic Leonidas, known to his friends as King Leo. Armed with only a sword, a shield and very little clothing, your goal is to recover all of the gold, weapons and armor stolen from Sparta by an unknown threat. As you make your way through magical portals and treacherous traps, you battle the forces of nature and any creature, both mythological and real, that stands in your path. Plot your route and watch your step in a world that rewards patience, precision an perseverance.

History

Sinister Cyclops Game Studios is an independent video game developer founded in 2014. The team consists of two inquisitive Greek American brothers who are first generation gamers. One, a tech savvy businessman and the other a musician with a passion for the digital arts. Far from being just a motto, “Old School meets New Technology “ reflects the dynamic duo’s contrast in age and character. If there’s one thing they have in common, it’s their laconic approach to video game creation: simple, straightforward and devoid of hype. Nearly four years in the making, their first game, “Spartan“, is a labor of love and the product of hard work and dedication.
