Play Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief (EU)(M5)(RFTD) Online

Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief came out on the Nintendo DS in 2010, published by Activision. It was part of that wave of movie tie-in games that showed up on every platform, and the DS version had its own take on the story. You control Percy Jackson, a teenager who finds out he's a demigod, the son of Poseidon.

You guide Percy through various locations from the book and film, like Camp Half-Blood and the Underworld, fighting monsters with your sword and using elemental powers. The main goal is to find Zeus's stolen lightning bolt to prevent a war among the gods. The gameplay mixes side-scrolling exploration, simple combat where you tap or slash enemies, and some light puzzle-solving. It moves at a decent clip, and the difficulty is pretty manageable, never getting too frustrating. It feels like a straightforward, action-focused adventure that gets you right into the world.
