HPP: If you’re like me and sit around thinking about the point of existence, you struggle to find answers. As long as I’ve been able to understand my own mortality, I’ve found many of solutions to my problems were in video games. Thankfully, developers Coffee Powered Machine and Publishers Devolver Digital have summarized this entire train of thought in a single game. Feast your brain on OKHLOS, a deeply enriching study on Greek philosophy. In OKHLOS, you play as an unnamed philosopher leading an angry mob against the Gods who have shown no sympathy for humanity. Naturally, the best way to deal with them is gather some forces and smash everything in your path.
Developers Coffee Powered Machine have transformed their Greek mob simulator Okhlos into Okhlos: Omega thanks to a massive update featuring enough new additions to fill a Trojan Horse, all of which is now free for current owners of the game to enjoy.
So the latest Humble Monthly bundle is here, and with it comes the unintentional(?) theme of science fiction and modern progress versus the ancient past and undiscovered nature. On one side, robot pirates, battles with alien serpents, and skyscraper crafting. On the other side, underwater journeys, the slaying of gods, and Roman combat. Which shall subscribers prefer (if not both)?
First month doing this and was pleasantly surprised. Husk is trash but everything else in the bundle was worth the 12 bucks.
Can crazy mob violence led by Greek philosophers take down ancient gods? Okhlos attempts to answer that age-old question.
