The final boss could be easy
I beat this game cause It’s so easy!
Description
The acclaimed indie game The Curse of Issyos is finally available for iOS and tvOS devices, after years of popular demand. Enjoy this renowned game created by Locomalito, author of other gems such as Cursed Castilla and Super Hydorah, on your big or small screen.
► LevelUp - “A great reconstruction of the action-platform genre of the eighties”.
► Indie Games Plus - “The Curse of Issyos is yet another fantastic example of the man’s love for old games and the care he puts into his work”.
► Destructoid - “It's a hard game, but it feels very fair. It's all about watching and learning, and then skillfully pulling off attacks at the right moment”.
Defkalion was fishing at the quiet blue sea when he heard the voice of the Goddess Athena. “Hurry up”, she said. “The isle of Issyos has been cursed by the Olympus!”
And so, fearing for his daughter Delia, his only family left, the fisherman sails back to his home, where the adventure is about to begin.
The Curse of Issyos is a retro-styled action platformer with nothing but the classics of an old 8-bit game: a good bunch of enemies and bosses, linear and open scroll levels, secrets to discover, and a background story inspired by Greek mythology. It doesn't try to mimic a retro system in particular, but it's coherent with its own limitations in the use of colors, sprites and chip sounds.
Features:
● Compatible with MFi, XBox One and PS4 controllers.
● Haptic vibration.
● iCloud support.
● Game Center achievements and leaderboards.
● Play in landscape or portrait orientation.
● Look and feel of a console game from 1987-1988.
● Based on Greek Mythology.
● 30+ soundtrack by Gryzor87.
● 7 levels, 9 bosses and more than 40 unique enemies.
● A secret level that can change the curse of the game.
* Game texts in English only.

The Curse of Issyos Reviews
A celebration of everything that sucked about retro platformers
1. This is unplayable without a controller and there’s no reason for that to be the case. 2. A common trope in reviews is to designate the reviewed media as a “Love letter to …”. Conversely, this is a Hate Letter. The art/aesthetic is great but, in terms of gameplay, it’s the worst aspects of early console games collected in one place. It’s like a satire of early video games - bad level design, bad hit detection, luck dependent progress, enemies with movement patterns that don’t match the limitations of player movement, worthless power ups and illogical allocation of health/lives.
old school castlevania fun with an Athenian twist
i wish more mobile games were like this. small fee, no commercials no gatcha, creative play
Awesome retro game!
Super cool game! It reminds me a lot of castlevania but in a Greek mythology world:) great graphics for the retro fans and super awesome chip tune soundtrack! I have other games you these developers and have enjoyed them all:) Works decent enough with the touch controls but I personally like to use my Xbox controller for a nice lag free experience :) if you like castlevania then I’d recommend this to you!
Exactly what I want from an action platformer.
Love it definitely a fan of Castlevania will enjoy this with a Greek Mythology take instead.
An amazing game
If you like 8-bit classic arcade games, this one is built on the same fundamentals. As a player you need to practice to improve, but it takes patience. The sword and spear mechanics are also well polished, as is the timing. Highly recommended.
Locomalito
Locomalito is the new Shigeru Miyamoto. Please bring 8-bit killer also to the app store.
Awesome game
This is one of the best games I’ve played,but it would be a lot cooler if the armor gives you extra health and if you can get the armor more often,but it’s still a awesome game
5 stars. Now please port to Switch!
I bought the game to show my support. Now please port this to Nintendo Switch! Thanks
A++++
Love the overlay, controller support, not to mention it's a fantastic retro styled game. Hope they make more love letters to the past like this!
