God of War Collection

Game Overview

God of War Collection follows the tragic and blood-soaked journey of Kratos, a Spartan warrior bound in service to the Greek Pantheon. The compilation covers his harrowing rise to power—from his desperate pact with Ares and his quest to dethrone the God of War in the first game, to his betrayal by Zeus, harrowing encounters with the Fates, and epic time-bending warfare in God of War II. Gameplay combines intense, visceral real-time hack-and-slash combat, complex environmental puzzles, and epic scale-bound boss battles. The PlayStation Vita version adapts these iconic adventures for portable play, integrating touch-screen functionality for specific interactions, re-mapped inputs utilizing the rear touch pad for actions like opening chests, and full PlayStation Network trophy support.
