Numen: Contest of Heroes

I wanted to give this a Positive but I can't the game play is fun and the world is amazing but its poorly optimized and clunky, and there is a difficulty curve that is unforgiving, I'd give it a 6/10 if Steam had a proper Rating System.

Good game

This isn't for everyone, but it has some redeeming qualities, and it's actually great for what it is. +The mythological theme is nice. +The soundtrack is pretty good. +The gameplay and overall pace is very old school and comfy. +There's no handholding with quest objectives, you have to figure out where to go and what you have to do. +The movement and combat is wasd with tab target and a skillbar, very relaxing, almost therapeutic. +The animations look wonky, but the combat itself actually has some oomph to it and packs a punch (as much as tabtarget combat can at least, definitely feels a little more engaging than vanilla WoW combat, without being too intense.) The story progression for the first 3 hours of the game is slow but nice. You start out as a kid in an island, playing what is essentially an extended tutorial, but also part of the hero's journey, story-wise. You get to experience the three different classes of warrior-mage-archer, and choose which one you want to play. Each class comes with 3 different gods you can choose from, who further refine the gameplay and and skills you can get, as well as the thematic motif of your character. After that, you fast forward to the adult version of your character, and embark on a quest to different regions, and go through a lackluster story that's about 15 hours long. The dialogues are hit and miss, usually on the generic side, and of no particular interest, but if you actually care for the theme of this game and want to like it, they're not so awful that you'll want to skip them. Other than that, there's different gear that also changes the appearance of your character cosmetically, although it all feels a little archaic, no pun intended. So, you're probably wondering, "what's wrong about this game?" Nothing in particular. This game is okay, for what it is. Just rough around the edges. Really rough. If you're into that kind of thing, and looking for comfy old school hidden gems, then give this a try. If you're just interested in the mythological theme, then there's better alternatives out there, such as Apotheon, TitanQuest, Age of Mythology, etc. The straw that broke the camel's back for me and pretty much made me quit ever wanting to finish this game, was the game breaking bugs. Other than the occasional audio glitch as you hit skills or skills not registering etc, sometimes your character will freeze after a dialogue, and there's nothing you can do other than load up your last save, so pretty much a game freeze, which occurs every half an hour or so. Also I had an actual game crash as well, and that was the end of the ride for me with Numen. I didn't want to be part of all the negative reviews, and really wanted to like this, because it's actually nice for what it is, but the final verdict has to be a thumbs down. Don't let this deter you from actually giving this a try though, if the redeeming qualities of it sound like something you'd enjoy. I certainly don't regret the time I spent playing this game. The initial experience was nice, but after getting the gist of it, I just don't care for finishing it or playing more of it.

It's a nice game for its time. Before triple A games exist, i think this is one of the best game I've ever played. <3 <3

This game plays great for as old as it is. In fact I would say better then most made in 2009! Fairly simple and not super challenging. If you enjoy a game to relax too, with a good feel for ancient Greece world, then this is your game. I like it and would say the sale price of 2 dollars is good value. Visuals, music and menu all work great. You may get blocks that look black during effects if you have integrated graphics of lower power on your laptop. I had to go into nvidia panel and set it to use my dedicated nvidia card for all to look good. Worked fine on my desktops.

its a good game fun to play, when you can play it. lots of bugs. mostly bugs
