## What is Thermopylae?

You are the last Spartan alive at the Hot Gates. They will keep coming. You will die. The only question is how many you take with you.

THERMOPYLAE is a brutal, skill-based endless duel. One hit kills - theirs and yours. Every enemy telegraphs its attack, every attack has a correct answer, and every death is your fault.

- ONE-TOUCH COMBAT: walk, jump, and shield with the stick; one button to stab, double-tap to hurl the spear, strike in the air to plunge.
- SEVEN WAYS TO DIE: levies, archers with arcing volleys, guard-breaking clubmen, high-low spearmen, tower shieldbearers, leaping berserkers, and the feinting Immortals.
- SPECTACULAR KILLS: decapitations, javelin pins, severed limbs, ragdoll launches. The pass becomes a charnel field as your count climbs.
- ALWAYS FAIR: every telegraph is readable, every counter learnable. Master the answers or die at the gate.
- TODAY'S GATE: one shared daily horde for everyone. Compare your stand on Game Center leaderboards.
- SHARE YOUR LAST STAND: auto-captured clips and score cards of your final moments.
- NO NONSENSE: free, offline, no ads, no accounts, no tracking, no data collected. Just the gate, the spear, and the count.

Molon labe.

### 5/5 — Fun and Unique Game

*2026-08-20*

Very fun game, at first I felt that the number of controls at the beginning was very overwhelming, but jt actually felt like the perfect amount that allows for gameplay that isn’t too simple or overly complex. My favorite part of this game is the unique enemy types like the immortal and beserker which greatly enhance entertainment and replayability. One thing that I think the game is lacking is that there isn’t really anything to progress in apart from your high score. While it is great that you don’t need to constantly grind to have fun, it would still be nice if you could unlock cosmetics or new weapons that add more depth and strategies

### 5/5 — Awesome historical game…for free

*2026-08-16*

Last Spartan is a very cool concept.  No extra lives, no forgiveness for not beating a Bezerker or bowman or immortal.  It takes a minute to get used to the controls.  But once you get that down, its awesome!

### 5/5 — Goated with the sauce

*2026-08-13*

Really fun! Complex enough but also not tough to pick up. Definitely don’t expect to get to 50 on your first few rounds👀

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-08-20

THE ORACLE SPEAKS. The title now carves the day's difficulty in stone - today's gate wears its word (THIN, OPEN, STEADY, THICK, CRUEL), and a quiet line reads tomorrow's gate tonight. The same words for every Spartan on earth.

THE DAY'S SCRIPT. Each daily gate now marches its enemies in one true worldwide order - every player, every retry, the same march. Learn the day. Master it.

Sharper fairness when the field is crowded.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-11

The war has deepened since the first stand.

- Immortal duels: read the raised blade, parry the beat, answer with the riposte.
- One shared Gate each day - the same battle for every Spartan alive. Career and weekly Phalanx boards mark your standing.
- Die well and share it: every run ends in a glyph line of your kills.
- War-drums, anthems, and the roar of the pass.
- The Cissians now strike two at once from kill 30. Hold the line.
