->''"Get Ready to Rock!"''

Long ago, Zeus and the other Greek gods ruled over Greece from Mount Olympus. After the Roman invasion, the servants of Zeus were [[SealedEvilInACan sealed away]] for good.

Present: Willbert Rockwell ([[TitleDrop Will Rock for short]]) is visiting Greece with his archeologist girlfriend Emma and her father when they got kidnapped by the [[FunWithAcronyms ORA]] (Olympian Restoration Army), a fanatical movement whose members want to restore the old gods and force the two archeologists to break the seal to Zeus' prison. The god and his [[LegionsOfHell army of monsters]] are freed, and the ORA bring Will's fiancée to Zeus in order to offer her as a bride and kill her father.

With the help of Prometheus and with a lot of guns, Will must make his way through armies of monsters, weirdoes and beasts in order to stop Zeus before he conquers the world.

The game itself is not really well known, but has often been compared to the ''VideoGame/SeriousSam'' series.

!! This game provides examples of:
* AbnormalAmmo: Some of your weapons shoot ArrowsOnFire, acid and [[TakenForGranite petrifying gas]].
** The Cyclops enemies will eat some earth and spit fiery stones at you.
* AlwaysAccurateAttack: Ephestus' ember toss homes on you slowly, as does Medusa's gaze attack. They're both slow-moving, but the former can be dodged if you get behind a wall, away from windows.With Medusa though, you don't have such luck.
* AncientGrome: Pretty much the ambience mixes every possible combination of Greek and Roman ruins into one big setting.
* ArmorOfInvincibility: The Immortality Titan Power makes you unkillable for 30 seconds.
* AsteroidsMonster: If you kill a Minotaur, he will split into two Blood Minotaurs.
* AutomaticCrossbow: It also serves as SniperRifle and KillItWithFire.
* AwesomeButImpractical: The Special Guns ([[KillItWithFire Sniper Crossbow]], Acid, [[TakenForGranite Medusa]] and [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill Atomic Gun]] are undeniably cool, but they have low ammo. If used at short range, they can damage you as well.
** The sniper crossbow in particular does a ton of damage, but has the problem of being a slow, precision weapon in a game where how many enemies you can kill every second translates directly into how long you can hope to survive.
* BadassNormal: Will Rock himself. While he does have Prometheus on his side, his interference is limited to giving him bottomless magazine for the pistol and power ups that aren't compulsory to win (except for bossfights).
* BadAssBoast: Will does many in game.
--> '''Will''':"I'll make you shit your diapers!"
* {{BFG}}: The Fireball Thrower, the [[MoreDakka Minigun]] and the [[NukeEm Atomic Gun]].
* BigBad: Zeus
* BlatantItemPlacement
* BoobyTrap: Quite a few in earlier levels, usually SpikesOfDoom, spears coming out of the walls and a SmashingHallwayTrapsOfDoom.
* BoringButPractical: You can win the game using nothing but the Shotgun, Machinegun and Minigun.
** The starting pistol isn't very powerful, but it has unlimited ammo and is fairly precise, so it gets pulled out often when there are only low-level enemies and not enough of them to warrant a high volume of lead.
* BossRush: on Mount Olympus. Sort of, since the first two are also DegradedBoss and you have to fight several of them.
* BottomlessMagazines: the Pistol. Justified example, as Prometheus states that he's giving it this power.
* BulletTime: The Titan Motion works like this.
* CheckPoint
* ConservationOfNinjutsu: Averted. There's a reason why enemies tend to storm you in large packs....
* ConvectionSchmonvection: In a few circumstances you will walk inches away from hot boiling magma, but as long as you don't touch the stuff you're safe. The closest thing you get is a reddish-orange aura blurring the vision as you get closer to the magma.
* DeadpanSnarker: Will.
* DeadlyLunge: Some of the [[DemBones skeletons]] will jump at you in an attemped kamikaze assault.
* DegradedBoss: The Cyclops. It starts as a Powerful Boss and ends up being a GiantMook in the next level. Also [[PlayingWithFire Hephaestus]]
* DemBones: Some of them were Centaurs.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Yes, you'll get the chance to ''Nuke'' Zeus to oblivion!
* DualWielding: Gladiators wield either daggers or morning stars and are adept at throwing them both at you.
* EasyLevelTrick: Just before you fight Medusa, you'll get the Atomic Gun. Awesome name, launches explosive grenades. But it damages Medusa too slowly, and your health gets drained faster than you can damage her, forcing you to trips to get the health and armor pickups. The solution: switch to the Acid Gun and fire away. It will drain her health amazingly fast!
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: A whole large temple complex with passageways, turrets and walkways inside Mount Olympus.
* EmergencyWeapon: A [[ImprobableWeaponUser Shovel]] that can easily one-shot many enemies, if you can get close enough.
* EverythingFades: Corpses vanish pretty soon.
* ExplodingBarrels: Why they're scattered around old Greek ruins [[FridgeLogic is still a mystery.]].
* FaunsAndSatyrs: They shoot arrows at you. [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged And like Namekians, they don't have penises]].
* FeatheredFiend: Eagle-like Harpies. They have the nasty habit of tossing explosive fireballs at you.
* {{Fireballs}}: The main weapon of some enemies and bosses.
* FlunkyBoss: All of them. The Cyclops is fought in a large arena, Ephestus and Medusa have lots of followers in their nests and the way to Zeus' throne is guarded by an incredibly large amount of mobs.
* FourIsDeath: There are Four main bosses. Yet, it may be a coincidence..
* FreezeRay: The Medusa Gun, only with stone.
* GatlingGood: The Machinegun is weak, but can fire 1,000 bullets non-stop. The Minigun is limited but more powerful.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: ok, you could easly see Medusa coming as a boss the first time (since the whole area is named Medusa's Lair). However, her second unexpected appereance out of thin air on Mount Olympus is like this
* GodIsEvil: Zeus. Not really surprising though, since he was a JerkassGod in greek Mythology.
* [[{{Golem}} Living Statues]]: Some of them shoot lasers at you, while others will stand up and toss fiery disks and huge stones at you.
* GorgeousGorgon: Averted. However, she actually [[OurGargoylesRock look like the traditional one]]
* GrimyWater: Only lava and acid will Insta-kill you, while on the other hand swimming in large pools/rivers of water will attract some huge hungry crocodiles...
* {{Hellhound}}: Orthuses attack by spitting fireballs and acid.
* HollywoodGeography: It's pretty clear that the names of the stages invoke Rule of Cool more than anything else: Act 4 alone has you leaving the Labyrinth to find yourself in the ruins of Eleusis... where somehow you can find a passage that sends you straight into the fiery bowels of Mount Olympus.
* HomingProjectile: Hephaestus' and Medusa's attacks are like this.
* HyperspaceArsenal: By the end, Will is carrying around a pistol, a shotgun, a machinegun and an even bigger minigun, a bazooka-shaped rocket launcher, a crossbow, two atypical guns and a massive, nuke-tossing rocket launcher. Oh, and a shovel.
* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: Will Win, Will Rock and Will Die, respectively.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Every single enemy with a weapon, and not just throwing daggers, [[SerialEscalation tridents, spears and arrows, but also battle axes and morningstars]]!
* IncrediblyLamePun: Will is largely guilty of this in game.
--> '''Will''' (after killing a Minotaur):" Bullseye!"
--> '''Will''' (facing a pack of lions and tigers):" That's a lot of Pussy!"
* JavelinThrower: Some skeletons attack from afar with roman pila at their disposal. Centaurs will occasionally use their tridents as throwing spears.
* JerkAssGod: Again, Zeus.
* LargeHam: Prometheus. Full stop.
--> '''Prometheus:''' "TITAN DAMAGE!!"
* LeadTheTarget: Unusually for an FPS, ''the monsters'' get quite good at it on the hardest difficulty level. The usually life-saving strafing ''will'' get you killed if you move in a straight line.
* LethalLavaLand: Part of the [[FireAndBrimstoneHell Underworld of Tartarus]] and the inside of Mount Olympus.
* LiterallyShatteredLives: Enemies frozen solid by the Medusa Gun or, obviously, Living statues when killed.
* LockedDoor: This occurs often, and you have to find the right key or kill a determined number of monsters.
--> '''Prometheus:''' "Find the Key!".
* LudicrousGibs: Using the Machinegun or the Acid Gun on enemies implies this, but it's not shown.
* {{Medusa}}: She appears twice as a boss. ThatOneBoss...
** Oddly, she doesn't have her typical TakenForGranite powers..
* MisplacedWildlife: The only possible explanation for the presence of tigers, lions and crocodiles in Greece.
* MoreDakka: Minigun and Machinegun weapons.
* {{Mooks}}: Skeletons. Also the "Gladiators" and Satyrs.
* MythologyUpgrade: Since when did Minotaurs split in two when hit and Medusa shot homing fireballs out of her eyes?
* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: Water bodies often hosts large Crocodiles that swim around and bite at you. However, since they cannot leave the water and most of the watery areas in early levels are optionals, you may end up meeting them only late on in the game.
* NighInvulnerable: Cyclops and Hephaestus are really hard to bring down without the proper weapon.
* NukeEm: The Atomic Gun literally ''melt enemies to ashes!''
* OurCentaursAreDifferent: Fast-moving monsters armed with tridents.
--> '''Will:''' "So which one of your parents was the horse?"
* OurGodsAreDifferent: More in the physical sense of the word with Zeus, who's simply gargantuan.
* OurMinotaursAreDifferent: Minotaurs are common mooks.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Zeus.
* OxygenMeter: When you go underwater.
* PantheraAwesome: Mocked by Will.
--> '''Will:''' "Nine lives my ass!"
* PapaWolf: Will's [[DistressedDamsel girlfriend]]'s father was a simple archeologist, but when the ORA took her away as sacrifice, he stood up and started gunning them down. Sadly, he got KilledOffForReal.
* PlanetHeck: There's a level during act 3 called "The Underworld of Tartarus", which starts in a cavernous dungeon with a flowing lava lake to cross and hordes of skeletons running at you while "In the Hall of the Mountain King" plays. Despite this, it's only a transitional level which takes you outside in a more normal-looking setting soon enough.
* {{PowerUp}}: you can use the gold you find around to purchase the Powers of the Titans at a Titan Altar. You can get [[ArmorOfInvincibility Immortality]], [[BulletTime Titan Motion]] and [[QuadDamage Titan Damage]].
* RangedEmergencyWeapon: The pistol has unlimited ammo and shoots as fast as you can click, which makes it quite practical against low-level enemies.
* RiseToTheChallenge: The final level, Mount Olympus, has you climbing the colossal mountain from the inside.
* RodentsOfUnusualSize: Of the ''Exploding'' type.
* RewardingVandalism: Destroy some statues in order to gain gold.
* ShockAndAwe: Zeus, of course..
* ShoutOut: many.
--> '''Will''' (after killng a centaur):" Give my regards to Series/MisterEd!"
** Besides, the Cyclops are based on the one that appears in ''Sindbad''.
* ShortRangeShotgun: Averted, the Shotgun actually has an exquisite range.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Played straight, it's one of the [[BoringButPractical best weapons]].
* SmashingHallwayTrapsOfDoom: The final part of "The Labyrinth" is a chamber-variation of this trope, with colossal stone presses pounding down on the floor and ready to turn you into fine paste. Furthermore, while some of the crushers are rythmical, others only activate when you're under them.
* SpikesOfDoom: Usually placed in pits. They're obviously a one-hit-kill.
* SpiritAdvisor: Prometheus, during the game.
* StandardFPSGuns: In order:
** Knife: The Shovel
** Pistol: Your starting weapon, pretty weak but with bottomless ammo.
** Shotgun: The Shotgun, of course.
** Automatic Weapons: The Machine Gun (can shoot all the 1000 bullets in a row if needed, but not very strong) and the Minigun (needs to reload every 100 shots and is slow, but is deadly).
** Grenades: The round type, found rather late in the game. They also seems to have elements of land mines in them.
** Sniper Rifle: The Crossbow, which also has fiery bullets.
** Rocket Launcher: The Fireball Launcher.
** {{BFG}}: For both size and power, the Atomic Gun.
** Gimmicky Weapon: The Acid Gun (makes enemy swallow up until they explode) and the Medusa Gun (releases a grey gas that slowly turns enemies into stones and shatters them).
* StationaryBoss: Zeus will stand still at the top of his throne and summon [[ShockAndAwe red thunderbolts]] to strike you down.
** [[spoiler: you can obtain an easy victory by reaching the top and going right under his feet, where he can't reach you]]
* SuspiciousVideoGameGenerosity: Yes indeed! As soon as you see a wide-open space with lots of ammo, healthpacks and a new shiny weapon, prepare yourself!
* TakenForGranite: The [[MeaningfulName Medusa Gun]]. Oddly, it can one-shot Living Statues.....
* TeleportingKeycardSquad: Enemies will often pop out of the ground when you pick an item.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: When you shoot Eroses, Harpies or Skeletons pack with the Fireball Thrower, the Minigun or the Atomic Gun may result in this.
* TooAwesomeToUse: The Atomic Gun, because it's hard to find ammo for it.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The ORA (Olympian Restoration Army) are responsible for unleashing Zeus and the monsters on Earth and tries to offer Will's girlfriend to their God, but are nowhere to be seen in the plot proper. The most human-looking enemies you face are the half-naked gladiators.
* WingedHumanoid: the UglyCute Eros. They're also quite disturbing, since they [[BlackComedy literally cry like babies]].
* YouHaveFailedMe: an interesting variation: Prometheus says this if you get killed.
