Gameplay
The game consists of 8 levels (5 in the nintendo DS version) where the player controls a spartan king wielding a weapon and fighting various mythical beasts. The spartan collects "orbs" from his fallen enemies, green orbs for health, blue orbs for magic and red for experience which can be used to upgrade his weapons' damage and special powers. When a weapon is upgraded to full damage, weapons take on a new, "ultimate" form. When certain enemies are weakened, the player may peform a finishing move on them, executed by tapping a series of buttons that appear on-screen. This will kill the enemy, and grants the player with more "orbs" than usual.
