Gameplay

Hero of Sparta takes advantage of an on-screen, touch controlled analogue stick. The game is linear, consisting of little exploration but much action. Throughout the game, story is advanced throught he use of in-game cutscenes. Throughout the game, players obtain several new weapons. A devastating shield attack is also introduced in the game that helps defeat enemies and clear blocked pathways. When enemies are defeated, orbs are authomattically collected. These orbs can upgrade your weapons and increase your health. 
With the upgrades, the weapons become more powerful and add special bonuses. (EG: Leaving more of one type of orb.) Armour is also picked up adding more bonuses and help to slaughter the evil creatures. 
Bigger villians can be finished off in a snazzy fashion with the touch a blue button once they have been hit enough times. These leave extra orbs to collect.
