About
The year is 1814. A time of steel and honor—of knights, warriors, and forgotten empires. Your ship has crashed. The wreckage smolders behind you as you awaken, disoriented and alone on the shores of a strange, uncharted island. The ground rumbles beneath your body—heavy, thunderous footsteps draw near. A towering T-Rex emerges from the jungle mist. Yet somehow… you’re not afraid. What truly unsettles you is the void in your mind—you remember nothing of who you were or what led you here.
Welcome to Athos, a primal world where dinosaurs never went extinct. Instead, they evolved alongside humanity, forging a brutal and beautiful land untouched by time. Shipwrecked and with no memory of your past, you must learn to survive in this savage wilderness. Gather resources, craft weapons, and tame powerful dinosaurs to stand by your side. As you grow stronger and carve out a life on this dangerous island, echoes of your forgotten past begin to resurface. Why did your ship crash? Why were you spared? And what ancient force slumbers beneath Athos, waiting to be awakened?

Upon starting, each player is dropped into the vast and diverse landscapes of the prehistoric world of Athos. The game world is teeming with various species of dinosaurs, from the towering Tyrannosaurus rex to the nimble Velociraptor. Armed with only primitive tools and their wits, players must quickly gather resources like wood, stone, and food to build shelters, craft weapons, and stay alive.

Surviving the game means facing the ever-present danger of dinosaurs. Some dinosaurs can be tamed and used as mounts, providing players with a distinct advantage, while others are relentless predators that require careful strategy to defeat. Players can team up to take down larger threats or go solo to hone their survival skills.

Throughout the game, players can collect blueprints and rare resources to craft more advanced weapons, armor, and tools. As players level up, they gain access to new abilities and skills that aid in combat and survival. Choose your playstyle and tailor your character to dominate the primordial landscape.

Athos immerses players in a thrilling survival adventure where they must navigate a perilous alien world, interact with majestic yet dangerous dinosaurs, and uncover the mysteries that lie beneath the surface. With its dynamic gameplay, and rich narrative elements, the game offers an unforgettable journey of exploration, adaptation, and survival in the face of daunting odds.

Played for a few hours and I am quite impressed with this game. It plays smoothly, I have had no problems with the mechanics. The graphics are excellent. In fact I like them even better than the graphics in the two versions of Ark (100's of hours played) that are currently available. This is a worthy Ark competitor. I recommend buying it. This developer deserves our support. Caveat: I have only played single player so far. Add: There seem to be save file issues. Only my character saved. I hope this will be fixed.
The game is okay at best right now. Still lots to do. I will say that there is some concern when buying this game. The developer is working on like 5 different games, so some of them get neglected while he works on other things. If you're okay with that, cool. I honesty don't understand why indy devs spread themselves so thin like this, instead of focusing ALL attention on one game at a time. Anyway, Athos is alright, but definitely almost a 1:1 copy of Ark. It's like Ark from Wish...lol
okay came back to the game today AND the earlier save game locks up/freezes all the time now. np it happens. started fresh no freezing there, HOWEVER controls feel sluggish and unresponsive. specially when harvesting and fighting, also food and water eat one berry at a time way too long the game looks great but cant recommend it in current state im afraid
Nachtrag: Naja.... das major update wurde zu einem major downgrade. Beispiel : Die Key bindings waren vorher schon nicht stabil funktionsfähig, und wurden durch updates immer wieder zerschossen, also was tut man ? Man nimmt sie komplett aus dem Spiel und macht aus Athos ein Steuerungs Rätselspiel. Ohne Erklärung oder einen Hinweis. Derzeit keine Kaufempfehlung. Gut aussehen reicht eben nicht. Sorry Als ich das Spiel erwarb und zunächst einmal anspielte, war der erste Eindruck sehr positiv. Als ARK Survival evolved Fan waren die Ansprüche groß, doch ich denke Athos kann da zumindest in manchen Bereichen mithalten. Die Grafik ist erfrischend klar, nicht überladen mit grenzenlosen Effekten die eigentlich nur verschlimmbessern. Wenn man am Strand steht und dem Wasser zuschaut, wie die Wellen ans Ufer schwappen, dann sieht das schon wirklich richtig gut aus. Die Dinos sind zwar nicht so ausgereift wie in ARK, aber das kann man verschmerzen, denn der Rest ( Gameplay, Gamemechanik, etc. ) kann durchaus mithalten. Vieles ( Crafting, Skilling, etc. ) kennt man aus ARK und so ist die Eingewöhnung relativ einfach. Durch das Einfügen von gegnerischen NPC s bekommt das Game einen zusätzlichen Touch der gerade im Singleplayer ARK um Einiges voraus ist. Auch die Landschaften sind sehenswert ( weil nicht überladen ) und so ist Athos eigentlich ein richtiger Geheimtip für Fans des Genres. Das Keybinding funktioniert leider nach dem letzten Update nicht mehr, man kann zwar die Tastenkonfiguration ändern, aber im Spiel wird wieder Alles automatisch zurückgesetzt. Ich bin mir aber sicher, dass da noch nachgebessert wird. Der Support ist klasse und reagiert sofort auf Feedback. Ich finde das Konzept von Athos bisher richtig gut, da es anders als ARK ist. Die von Wildcard lassen ihr Spiel nur von der Community leben. Ohne diese und ohne deren Mods wäre ARK schon lange nicht mehr so gefragt. Daher bringt Athos für mich persönlich neuen Wind in die Thematik und ist es wert gekauft zu werden. Also ganz klar: Daumen hoch.
amazing game that needs to be recognized! yes it does feel like a knock off of ark at first but you quickly see the full potential in the game and realize its NOTHING like ark in game. this game could almost kick ark off the spot light with a few good updates and i hope to see that happen honestly!! Oh p.s. for anyone who plays ark and sees this, Athos is on time with their updates and doesn't leave you hanging XD!
So Far it's Good there are bug's but the Dev's are working on them.
по своему играбельно, и не ест железо.
needs controller support asap
Még nagyon hitvány, talán 10-20 nagyobb frissités után játszhato lesz.
Entrei no Athos achando que ia domar dinossauros e construir minha base dos sonhos. Na prática, passei mais tempo lutando contra bugs do que contra os próprios dinos. Pontos negativos: • Desenvolvimento abandonado: A última atualização foi em agosto de 2024, e desde então, nada mais foi feito. A comunidade está se sentindo deixada de lado.  • Bugs e mais bugs: Desde dinossauros atravessando paredes até quedas constantes de FPS, o jogo parece mais um simulador de frustração. • Conteúdo raso: Apesar da promessa de um mundo rico e cheio de possibilidades, o jogo carece de profundidade e variedade de atividades. Resumo final: Athos tinha potencial para ser o novo queridinho dos fãs de sobrevivência com dinossauros, mas acabou tropeçando nos próprios pés. Se você está pensando em investir seu tempo e dinheiro, talvez seja melhor esperar por melhorias significativas… se é que elas virão.
