The game uses side-scrolling platform action. You control Athena as she advances through themed stages filled with enemies, pits, moving platforms, and hazards. Core actions revolve around jumping, attacking, and collecting item-based upgrades that can change or strengthen your weapon. Progress is stage-based, with repeated attempts often needed to learn safe jumps, enemy placement, and timing through each area.

Athena

The heroine and player character; a goddess who enters a mythic world to reclaim her stolen powers.

Learn jump distances early, since many mistakes come from misjudging ledges and gaps. Power-up items are valuable, so try to keep upgraded weapons by avoiding reckless hits. When enemies crowd a narrow area, clear the immediate threat first instead of rushing forward. For moving-platform sections, patience usually works better than speed.
