Rogue Islands, originally designed by Kiaran Ritchie was handed over to the Blue Sock team for development. This Minecraft style landscape is a perfect candidate for Athena 3D, delivering stunning frame rates and performance, despite a wealth of detail on screen, including many millions of voxel “bricks” displayed at once in this completely destructible environment. In short, Athena delivers so much more detail than the competition with the ultimate in 3D world optimisation!

Each island is a unique and complex 3D sculpture brimming with monsters, temples, forests, mountains, caves and bosses. Massive cliffs rise from the depths. Insane, twisted passages wind their way through valleys and under mountains. And no two islands are ever the same! On top of that, no two playthroughs are ever the same with over 120 million combinations of procedurally-generated islands tailored to your skills and play style!

This ultimate action shooter has received incredibly positive reviews, from around the world!
