Athenian Rhapsody is a fresh, comedic adventure RPG game in which you'll explore the World of Athens! Your goal is to build your very own Rhapsody, the story of you (the player) and your epic tale adventuring in this world. Your story will unfold based on your decisions, to the degree of which cannot be replicated by any other player. 16 Potential party members for you to interact with! - Each of these characters has a bold personality, and a large amount of depth for you to discover. You can choose to adventure with whoever you'd like! There truly is a favorite for everyone to bond with, I promise. Tons of enemies for you to FIGHT or BEFRIEND! - This world has no shortage of intense battles with opponents that range from weird, wacky, tough, cute, and outright goofy! Varying battle mechanics to always keep the action fresh! - Many characters will switch up the tactics of battle, you'll be faced with various minigames based on the scenario you find yourself in. Absolutely hilarious. - This game is fast paced, action packed, and full of zany and ironic humor that anyone can have a nice laugh at. Lots of rabbit holes, secrets, and suspicious endeavors! - You will NOT run out of things to do. If you do, you probably haven't seen the sunlight in quite some time! Choose your own adventure! - Nothing substantial in this game is up to RNG. You choose your pathway from start to finish, creating an extremely specific pathway which will then be recorded into your playthrough's Rhapsody! Vigorous mental challenges, and intense puzzles! - You may face mind-bendingly difficult challenges such as "Spell Richard" and "Feather Carry" throughout your Rhapsody. Would you dare come face to face with the infamous 3x3 slide puzzle? Last but not least... An Online Social System and Event System! - You'll be able to share Rhapsodies between your friends. Share, combine, read through, and maybe even delete your friend's Rhapsodies! Bond with your friends or make new ones over sharing your Rhapsodies. Each time you complete a playthrough, you'll receive a Rhapsody. Each Rhapsody acts as a way to take something tangible from your experience with your playthrough, and hold onto it forever. There are even ways to create new Rhapsodies by combining them, to multiply their complexity and create something absolutely insane! The ultimate goal of Athenian Rhapsody is to provide a real, impactful experience for everyone who plays it. There's something for everyone and I hope that every player can relate to their story somehow, and maybe even reflect on their own lives. Remember to have fun, it's a game! ## Key features - Player-driven story - 16 potential party members - Fight or befriend enemies - Varying battle mechanics - Hilarious and ironic humor - Secrets and puzzles - Online social system ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Athenian Rhapsody Full Game | $7.99 | one-time | ## What do users think of Athenian Rhapsody?

I LOVE THIS GAME SOOOO MUCH BUT I HIY A SOFYT LOCK AND I AM STUCK WITH THE DOG SO IT WONT LET ME PROGRESS !! I TALK TO RICHARD AND HE SAYS TO GET RID OF HIM AND I TALK TO HORATIO AT R CAVE AND HE TELLS ME TO GET RID OF HIM! I ALREADY TOOK HIM TO HIS DOG HOUSE AND DID THE BATTLE AND MADE FRIENDS WITH HIM BUT NOW HE IS FOLLOWING ME AND I CANT GET RID OF HIM!! I PUT SO MUCH WORK INTO THE GAME I DONT WANT TO RESTART!!! PLEASE PLEASE HELP ### 2/5 — Great premise, bad controls, needs a difficulty adjustment. *2026-04-30, version 1.24* I generally like games like Athenian Rhapsody, and I think it has a lot of potential to be great. It’s quirky, silly, and a lot of fun. But the difficulty is awful. It can be torturous to play because there’s no way to modify the difficulty level to make it easier, not everyone is a pro gamer. Chill mode is a joke btw, it does almost nothing to help with the difficultly level. Specifically the fight with Bobomew is frustrating and annoying- you are in a battle that’s not a typical battle, you can’t use any health aids because the menu is oddly blocked and then when you think you finished the battle, you have to do it all over again for round 2 and it’s gets more challenging. I don’t understand games that don’t give us a way to navigate around difficult moments. The frustration and annoyance with the battle just makes me not want to continue the game, and it’s a shame because it can actually be a fun and entertaining game. Also Bobomew isn’t the only battle that I had to do over and over and over and over again. Having to redo a part of a game dozens of times, it gets to the point where it’s not fun anymore. Also for the love of god, why is there no option to move the D-pad. I wouldn’t recommended this game unfortunately, unless you’re an expert gamer. ### 5/5 — Great game 10/10 🤤 *2026-01-05, version 1.24* This game is great the story the character (my favorite is areosol and horatio) the only thing that really bugs me about it is that the uncle Billard fight isn’t fixed ### 5/5 — Undertale on crack *2025-10-24, version 1.24* I played this game on switch but chose to write a review here as well. This game is hilarious, wacky, and has an incredible soundtrack. Plus, it’s cheap! ($8 on mobile and $15 on console). There are also multiple routes to take which increase the replay value. idk what else to say… just play the demo already! ### 5/5 — Crazy good game *2025-06-14, version 1.24* Fun, good dialogue, good game ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-06-12, version 1.24* The game was amazing, if you like undertale you will have a lot of fun. And of course you have to pay for a good game like this ### 3/5 — Repetitive combat *2025-05-28, version 1.24* Delightful psychedelic world with unique writing. I just wish there were fewer tedious, repetitive battles in true JRPG fashion. Why do I have to fight the same enemy 10 times instead of just once? Chill Mode exists but I’d rather just have well-balanced combat. Worth trying for free to see if it’s right for you. ### 4/5 — Still doesn’t work? *2025-05-10, version 1.24* I remember having this game, but erasing it later, and months later I come back and see that the uncle Billiard fight was patched, only to download the game again, make it to the section, and still not being able to move the spatula up, and only being able to move left and right, has it really been fixed? ### 5/5 — THIS GAME IS AMAZIIIIIING *2025-04-24, version 1.24* THIS WAS WORTH EVERY DOLLAR ### 5/5 — Give it a chance, cornball… *2025-04-06, version 1.24* Athenian Rhapsody is honestly a fantastic and beautifully-made RPG, and although similar to Undertale/Earthbound in style, it easily stands apart with its own sense of flair. I bought it off a whim on Xbox and adored it, so seeing it available in the app store was a pleasant surprise. ## Frequently asked questions about Athenian Rhapsody ### What kind of game is Athenian Rhapsody?
