God of War series games

God Of War

— a series of action (more specifically, hack'n'slash) games with platforming elements, released almost exclusively for the PlayStation (with the exception of 2007's Betrayal, available for mobile phones with Java ME support). The protagonist of the series is an ancient Greek warrior named Kratos, who opposes the gods of Olympus and, in the later games, the Norse gods. The games use a third-person view, and the combat system is based on the use of combo techniques and Quick Time Event (quick performance of certain actions at the right time — for example, to hit an opponent who opens up for a second).

As of the end of 2019, the God Of War series includes 7 main titles, of which 6 are "first era" (in the ancient Greek setting) and 1 "second era" (God Of War version of 2018); the continuation of the series is expected. All games are singleplayer focused, with the only multiplayer title being the last game of the first era, God of War: Ascension (2013).
