King Leo battles through ancient Greece in this old-school action platformer set in Sparta, 500 BC. Weapons, armor, and gold vanish as magical portals open, and you recover them by blocking, stomping, running, jumping, climbing, pushing, springing, and slicing past enemies and obstacles. Non-linear levels let you backtrack freely for coins, artifacts, and chests to unlock escape portals, with replayable stages across four worlds and 24 levels.
Pixel-perfect controls deliver responsive movement at 60fps on medium hardware, paired with checkpoints, quick respawns, and optional doubled health. Intelligent foes demand smart tactics in boss fights, while handcrafted art, smooth animations, and atmospheric music enhance the challenge. Hardcore players relish the tough-yet-fair 20+ hours of precise platforming.
Huge update for 2019!
Now Spartan is a lot easier and more balanced gameplay wise, making it an ideal platformer for the whole family that still enjoys a challenge !

King Leo kicks platforming back to the arcades!
Spartan is an old-school platformer for hardcore gamers, powered by UE4.
STORY:
Sparta, 500 BC. The city-state's weapons, armor and gold have mysteriously vanished. Magical portals begin to appear throughout ancient Greece.
As a king and the world's most fearsome warrior, Leonidas sets out to discover who is behind the threat, and recover everything that was stolen.
You, are King Leo. And your aim is to make whoever is responsible and whatever stands in your way, rue the day they crossed your path.
Block, stomp, run, jump, fall, climb, cling, push, spring & slice your way to victory.
Outsmart intelligent enemies, tread carefully through obstacles and use your wits to defeat bosses in epic battles.
THIS.. IS.. Spartan!
FEATURES:
Non-linear Levels
No matter which path you choose, you can always return to any point. Feeling greedy and want to go back and collect all of the coins? No problem! There is no area you cannot return to. But remember to plot your routes and keep track of where you've been, because without retrieving all of the artifacts or chests you won't be able to activate the magical escape portal. Not happy with your score? You can replay any level, any time, once it’s been unlocked.
Immerse yourself
Memorable atmospheric soundtrack with ethnic overtones.
Crisp and detailed handcrafted art.
Hyper-smooth 2D physics based mesh animations.
Fun, intelligent and reactive enemies.
A huge variety of traps and obstacles.
Pixel-perfect controls
When the margin for error is small, responsive controls are a sheer delight. You command, and King Leo executes with lightning speed. You say "Jump!", and he says "How high?". If your reflexes are fast enough, his reflexes will be fast enough. Every step counts and every move is in your hands.
Clocking in at a stable 60fps even with most Medium Spec hardware, "Spartan" leaves gamers no excuse to not succeed.
20+ Hours of Gameplay
More, if you want to unlock the entire gallery and learn some ancient Greek words!
With 4 distinct worlds and 24 challenging levels, you'll find yourself proclaiming: "Tough, but fair!".
Failing is a thing of the past when there is virtually no loading time between losses. Couple that with plenty of checkpoints, and you're ensured a smooth gaming experience. If, for whatever reason, you find the game too difficult, you can double your health. This is aptly called “Wimp Mode“!
