All of this adds up to put a nice sheen on an otherwise pedestrian experience, quite similar to the previously name-checked 300, actually. The visuals are a feast never has a mutilated, re-animated monster appendage looked so good! The score from Tyler Bates, composer to the similarly ferocious, Spartan-filled 300 movie, is suitably epic and testosterone-filled. Production values are high as is the norm with a God of War game. As Kratos makes his escape, one of the sisters, Megaera, reanimates the monster in order to stop him.
While this may not sound impressive, keep in mind that the Prison of the Damned is, in fact, the petrified body of the Hecatonchires, a gargantuan creature with hundreds of arms. Like every God of War game before it, Ascension opens with a jaw-dropping set-piece, in this case, Kratos’ prison break. Created by the Primordials, the original creators of the Earth, these three sisters detain Kratos in the dramatically named Prison of the Damned. Our story begins with Kratos in chains, held at the mercy of the Furies for abandoning his oath to serve the war god. Release Date: Available Now (UK 15th March)Īscension is a prequel to the original God of War, taking place ten years before Kratos spectacularly loses his temper and points his rage at Ares.
