Review Olympia Rising (Wii U eShop)
A jump into the past
Paleozoic's Olympia Rising initially started as a campaign on Kickstarter in 2014. Fans were drawn in by the nostalgia of old 2D platformers and hoped Olympia Rising could live up to expectation. A unique mix of Greek mythology along with the classic genre, this game definitely delivers in terms of visuals and story, but is...

About The Game
Iola is a young warrior who has been cast into the Underworld after meeting an untimely end.
She must navigate through the various twisted regions of Hades' domain, fighting through hordes of deadly creatures as she attempts to escape and make her way to Mount Olympus. Jump, climb, slash and incinerate your way through each stage.
Fast-paced aerial combat propels you up through the Underworld as you defeat enemies with your blade and destroy them with powerful magic. Navigate through deadly environments with fluid maneuverability, looking for the most efficient way to climb to the top.

Explore six unique, twisted environments of the Underworld, each offering different challenges, creatures and fierce boss encounters to overcome.

yeah this looks cool. me like
@ogo79 Be careful... I encountered a really frustrating glitch on the 4th boss!! I managed to get through though and actually really enjoyed it. The frame rate is a bit iffy, too.
If you want more details on the glitch, see my posts (nickname: Barkey) in the EU Miiverse.
@shinynewbicycles
oh great another noob developer glitch!
this is getting sad.
@ogo79 Some people have received the patch for this one already, though. Hoping mine downloads today while I'm at work.
I do really recommend this game. I've finished it twice now (it's about 3 hours long). As soon as the patch lands, it's a really solid eShop recommendation.
