About the story
"Know, oh prince, that in the years when Atlantis ruled the oceans, sins and arrogance unleashed fierce demons. When everything seemed lost, four heroes arrived to close the Gates of Abathor." The Atlantean civilization has angered the gods. They have sent hordes of monsters to punish Atlantis by destroying the continent. Players must cooperate and compete to save Atlantis, going through a series of challenges of increasing difficulty. In their progress, our heroes will fight against ferocious demons and primordial gods, against the living and against the dead, against flying beasts and crawling horrors. They will dodge dangers and traps and descend into chilling abysses. But they will also compete against each other for the loot and the spoils, plundering treasures and offering them to the gods to receive their favor.

Critic Reviews
Gamers Heroes
By Casey ScheldAn epic platforming challenge awaits all those that brave Abathor’s trials. Those willing to cut their teeth with its “traditional” controls will enjoy taking on this demonic horde.
PlayStation Universe
By Tony ColtonAn exceedingly well crafted title that wears its influences proudly on its sleeve, Abathor delivers in all departments. Clever thoughtful design, beautifully detailed pixelart and a killer retro soundtrack that is the cherry on top.
GameBlast
By Alecsander OliveiraDespite some outdated decisions, especially in the credits system, Abathor is an ideal choice for those who miss a new adventure with the spirit of the old games. The varied theme, with a diverse bestiary, fun bosses to face and the various replayability options, complement an excellent homage to a more pixelated era.
The Games Machine
By Nicholas MercurioAn action-platformer that revives the flames of a genre that disappeared for almost two decades. Abathor isn't a perfect title and doesn't invent anything new, but it does what it has to in a balanced and polite manner, with an entertaining co-op mode capable of attract players of all ages.
NoesPaisparaFrikis
By Oscar Garcia MompeanAbathor is a surprising and refreshing proposal that hides behind that brilliant wrapping provided by “retro” a very polished game in which every last detail has been taken care of to offer a game like those of the past but without discarding any of the current playable comforts.
