Imagine God of War, if you will, rethought as a 2D action-platformer decked out in a gorgeous ancient-pottery visual veneer.

Now, envisage that the developers behind such an idea are Alien Trap; the folks behind the great retro-inspired platformer Capsized.

Welcome then, to Apothean; a hyper-violent platforming combative take on the myths and legends of Ancient Greece.

Oh and did I mention it all looks extremely pretty too?

Catch the trailer after the break.

Apothean is due to arrive on PC sometime in 2013.
