PC Critic Reviews

Okhlos is organised chaos at its best. The challenge level may provide moments of frustration, leading to multiple viewings of initial areas, but it’s easy to lose hours of time from the determination to send every God back to Olympus, where they belong.

It’s a blast from the past in more ways than one and you should check it out.

To say that Okhlos is repetitive is largely true, but it’s that repetitiveness that ultimately makes the game addictive. The narrative, gameplay, visuals, and even the music all combine to make a game that screams “angry Greek mob”. Okhlos is quirky, fun, and unique all under a simplistic and straightforward structure that makes it accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Okhlos is really enjoyable, fun and fresh. We think it could've been more polished, but rioting in the Ancient Greek had never been this fun.

Okhlos is based on a simple concept with an even simpler gameplay mechanic that may very well be better suited for mobile devices, but that doesn’t stop it from being hilarious, dumb fun when it’s clicking.

As much as I enjoy the tone of Okhlos and its silly but well-informed take on Greek mythology, its repetitive format and simplistic gameplay hook aren't an engaging combination. I'd like to see every little goofy reference it has to offer, but the motivation to push through the grind just isn't there.

Too much chaos will kill you. Okhlos if fun, but for a very short time.

Crazy uprising of ancient Greeks against their gods has wit and style. Unfortunately, the furious action runs out soon. Okhlos as an unusual interpretation of the Greek myths is great fun, but just for a while.

Okhlos is goofy and funny arcade fun, if you would like to spend a moment of your time. If you don´t expect anything extra, you won't be disappointed. [Issue#267]

Okhlos feels like an elevator pitch – ‘go smash up a comedy ancient Greece’ – made flesh, without too much worry about expanding upon the concept. I do admire that, there’s a purity and a glee to it, and it’s refreshing to not butt up against a skill ceiling as in something like Isaac, but I guess once you’ve smote one god, you’ve smote ’em all.
