Greece in 431 BCE, to be exact.<\/p>\n<p>Set during a fictionalised secret civil war between Athens and Sparta, it&#8217;s a time of great political upheaval, just begging for an ultra-powerful mercenary to sort the whole sorry mess out single-handedly. Where would one find such a character, though?&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>Assassin&#8217;s Creed Odyssey characters<\/h2>\n<p>In this game you&#8217;re able to choose between a male and female protagonist, Alexios or Kassandra. In either case you&#8217;re an ultra-powerful mercenary &#8211; what luck! &#8211; and you&#8217;ll become increasingly involved in the civil war&#8217;s twists and turns as the game progresses. These events occur 400 years before those of Origins on the AC timeline, so it&#8217;s unlikely you&#8217;ll find any reference to the previous game this time &#8211; at least not in the historical setting.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile back(?) in the present day, Layla Hassan makes a return in her role as Animus outlaw, uncovering a grim conspiracy and travelling through time to uncover the truth of the Peloponnesian war that&#8217;s been kept out of history books for centuries. Perhaps there&#8217;ll be more opportunity for the story to bridge the two games in these present day sequences, although how frequently they feature isn&#8217;t known.<\/p>\n<h2>Assassin&#8217;s Creed Odyssey romance options<\/h2>\n<p>For the first time in the series, player-driven romances with NPCs feature in Odyssey. Regardless of whether the player picks Alexios or Kassandra as their protagonist, both male and female romanceable RPGs will feature. Just don&#8217;t go breaking their hearts.<\/p>\n<h2>Combat<\/h2>\n<p>Origins\u2019 savvy repositioning of the combat model from action game button-bashing to an RPG-like hitbox mechanic went down a storm with players, and a similar system returns here with new bells and whistles.<\/p>\n<p>Alexios and Kassandra are able to unleash special attacks by filling up their meter during combat and hitting the special button at the opportune moment. In true RPG style, a greater variety of specials is unlocked as the character levels up, including the \u201cThis is Sparta!\u201d kick, as it shall forever be known.<\/p>\n<h2>Assassin&#8217;s Creed Odyssey naval combat and exploration<\/h2>\n<p>Players were able to take to the water in various vessels in Origins, but it wasn&#8217;t the kind of full-blown naval affair Assassin&#8217;s Creed IV: Black Flag offered. This time the archipelago or Greek islands provides a perfect venue for larger ships, proper naval combat &#8211; dare we suggest &#8211; ancient Greek sea shanties? While the latter might be speculation, there&#8217;s definitely a return to controlling large sea vessels and ship-on-ship combat in this game.<\/p>\n<h2>Assassin&#8217;s Creed Odyssey world map<\/h2>\n<p>Let&#8217;s face it, Origins wasn&#8217;t lacking for size. The enormous world map housed geographical treasures that took tens of hours to be uncovered in between all the quests and collectible-hunting, but somehow it&#8217;s been dwarfed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenmangaming.com\/blog\/assassins-creed-odyssey-setting-and-map\/\">Odyssey&#8217;s map<\/a>. At 135 km squared, it&#8217;s 60% larger than its predecessor&#8217;s, and although some of it is Mediterranean sea, there&#8217;s a huge amount of environmental variation between its many islands. Expect ancient metropoli, lush greenery, olive and wine groves, volcanoes, mountains, fishing villages, farms, ancient monuments and much more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once again it&#8217;s time to travel thousands of years into the past and stab people to death while wearing sandals &#8211; but despite surface-level similarities between Assassin&#8217;s Creed Odyssey and its 2017 predecessor, Origins, a lot more has changed within the franchise blueprint than first meets the eye.
