Kid Icarus of Myths and Monsters is an action game released in 1991 for the Game Boy. Players take control of Pit, a young angel tasked with navigating various levels filled with enemies and obstacles. The main objective is to rescue the goddess Palutena by defeating mythical creatures and bosses throughout the adventure.
The gameplay features a steady pace that balances exploration with combat challenges. Players collect weapons and power-ups to enhance Pit's abilities, allowing for strategic progression. A unique mechanic involves shooting arrows both forward and upward, adding a vertical element to combat not commonly found in similar platformers of the time.
One unusual idea in the game is its integration of Greek mythology themes within a portable format, blending action and platforming with a mythological storyline. The distinctive pixel art and music contribute to a cohesive atmosphere that sets it apart from other Game Boy titles, delivering a myth-inspired experience on a handheld device.
