Decent enough game, it was either a dev's private project / one off or something like that as it hasn't been expanded on since it's release. Fairly straight forward, pick your gender (on the whole doesn't matter except some armor is male only and you'd have to pay to get it changed to fit a female), name your character and you're in. You have 3 different archtypes to use warrior, archer & mage. Best to learn...

Numen: Contest of Heroes is a mythology-inspired action RPG developed and published by CINEMAX GAMES that transports players into a world heavily influenced by the legends, gods, and monsters of ancient Greece. Released during a period dominated by dark fantasy role-playing games, Numen chose a different path by embracing classical mythology and heroic adventure. While it never achieved the popularity of larger genre...

Uncle told me all kinds of bad things about archery and sorcery. I must follow the warrior path! But first, let me buy more arrows and mana potions.

I've been trying really hard to like this game from the moment that I started playing. With each passing encounter, with each newly introduced event, with each new NPC speaking and each logic flaw in either narrative or combat; my task grew to become harder and harder. Finally, I give up. This is the day that I'll leave an RPG unfinished. As the curtain opens, we watch a cinematic about a legendary artifact; the...

I really like this game. It looked to me like an arena fighting game at first glance so I always ignored it. I bought it on sale for 79 cents on a whim and I'm sure glad I did. It looks like Titans Quest, but It plays very much like an MMO. Tab targeting, auto-attack, skills hotbar, camps of mobs you have to carefully pull, etc. If you aren't in to MMO-style combat, you may not like this. The combat reminds me of...

It's not a good RPG, but it's not a total catastrophe either... The item and level grinding is boring, it lacks in story and especially in side quests and the level 'design' is pretty much non-existant. Most of the game looks more random than Diablo while it isn't. While the game isn't a complete waste of time and has some moments, the lack of speech for the few NPCs, the mindnumbing and pointless arena fights and a...

Numen: Contest of Heroes is a short action RPG from 2010 whose Metacritic score is only slightly higher than its current Steam rating (50%). It often goes on sale for $1.00 or less, which is when I picked it up. Despite the mixed to negative reviews, the mythical Greek atmosphere attracted me enough to take the small risk. I should note that I have a high tolerance for lower-reviewed or lower-quality games; as a...

Numen: Contest of Heroes basically plays like a single player MMO, complete with hotkey bar, ability cooldowns, and combat that doesn't feel like it's quite connecting. It isn't a great game, but it's at least a decent one, and well worth the huge sale prices I've seen it (currently $0.99 as I write this review.) I myself picked it up for $7.50 soon after release, and don't really regret it, though $5 or less is...

I decided to start playing through a ton of my RPG games that have been in my backlog for years and this is the first game I decided to try. I have to be honest with you, this is quite possibly one of the worst games I have ever played in my life. Numen is basically a WoW clone MMORPG that is purely singleplayer. Sounds great for people who enjoy that tab-targeting style of combat and while I personally don't I...
