8 Great Greek Mythology Games You Can Play on Mobile

The cost of video gaming has been a hot-button topic of late: Sony recently raised prices for its PS5 console, and there was also a huge outcry over the price rises in Xbox gaming subscriptions. Gamers are feeling the pinch, so it’s no surprise that players are looking for more affordable alternatives. Gen Z, in particular, is pursuing a thriftier approach to gaming entertainment.

At the top of the list of alternatives is smartphone gaming, something that has been bolstered by bigger and bolder games as smartphones themselves have evolved with better graphics capabilities, refresh rates, and so on. Of course, not every smartphone game is free, but many are, and even those that do require payments are usually much cheaper than console titles.

Below, we are going to look at 10 fantastic games you can play on a smartphone right now. We have chosen games with a Greek mythology theme, as there are many superb options right now available – often for free – across a variety of platforms and gaming genres.

1. Hades (Netflix Edition)
Netflix really is an underrated hub for gaming, and the good news is that you can access the titles via your standard Netflix subscription. Moreover, the quality of games is improving, including the addition of the acclaimed Hades. You play Zagreus, son of Hades, battling through the Underworld with help from the Olympian gods. The title has rich storytelling and endlessly replayable combat.

2. Titan Quest: Legendary Edition
A full action-RPG experience built around ancient myths. You battle across Greece, Egypt, and Asia against monsters like gorgons and hydras. This is an ambitious console-quality title – one that will surprise you with its depth of gameplay on a smartphone. It costs $19.99, but it’s worth it.

3. NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits
A graceful platformer that combines exploring ancient Greek architecture with puzzle-solving. You will play as Nyx, tasked with finding your friend, Icarus. The design work on this one is beautiful. The game is free, but there are ads and some promotion of in-app purchases (you aren’t obliged to make them).

4. Gods of Olympus
A slick real-time strategy game where you directly control gods such as Zeus, Athena, and Poseidon to smite enemies and defend temples. Fast, tactical, and arguably even more gorgeous than the aforementioned NxyQuest to look at.

5. Amazing Link: Zeus

A Greek mythology online slot game that forms part of a wider series, Amazing Link: Zeus is a feature-filled slot that can be played for low stakes or high stakes, and even in demo mode at plenty of online casinos. While there are others, like Amazing Link: Poseidon, this one, based on the King of the Gods, is probably the best in the series.

6. Spartan Wars: Blood and Fire
A long-running strategy title where you command Spartan armies blessed by the gods. It combines city management with large-scale battles. This title has been around for years, but it constantly evolves to keep players engaged. One of the best strategy games on mobile.

7. Immortal Odyssey
A mobile RPG that blends Greek myth with fantasy. You build a party of heroes to face mythical beasts and rival gods in turn-based combat. This is probably the most underrated title on this list, but it’s arguably one of the best examples of how creative storytelling can thrive in the gaming world.

8. Heroes of Myths: Warriors of Gods
A fun and fast side-scroller where you summon heroes and gods to defend temples against waves of demons and monsters. This one is light, so it’s a good choice if you tag yourself as a casual gamer, but it’s highly replayable.
