Third-person action game where Kratos hacks through Greek mythology ten years before the original. You chain combo attacks with the Blades of Chaos, solve box-pushing puzzles, and execute quick-time events during boss fights. Combat revolves around building red orb currency to upgrade weapons and magic—collect Gorgon eyes for health boosts, Phoenix feathers for stronger spells. New tools include the Sun Shield and Efreet summon. The campaign sends you to defend Attica from a Persian invasion, but when the sun literally falls from the sky and Morpheus shrouds the world in sleep-inducing fog, priorities shift. Controls were reworked for PSP's button layout: dodging now requires both shoulder buttons plus the analog stick. Fights stay brutal, puzzles stay straightforward, and the mythology stays bloody.
