Olympia Rising isn’t a bad game but it comes with some problems. The art and music are gorgeous and will suck you into the Greek Mythology without a doubt but the combat could have been a lot better. It’s a shame Lola’ short sword can become frustrating and the coin collecting can result in unwanted replays. That being said, Olympia Rising is a nice effort and welcome addition to the 2D action platformer. Sure, there are better games on the market but this one’s worth trying out.

Phil writes, "The old school pixel visuals of Olympia Rising fit right in with a lot of other indie games. To say that there are a lot of indie games gunning for memories and nostalgia of playing 8-bit games would be an understatement. Nonetheless, Paleozoic's Olympia Rising stands out enough by not only having an original concept to it, despite it being a 2D platformer, but by being an affordable and fun purchase for Wii U gamers."
