Play Phelios (Europe) Online
You play as Apollo, shredding through waves of mythological horrors with a killer spread shot—those floating eye monsters still give me the creeps. Boss fights feel like battling living Greek tapestries, especially the hydra chaos.
Phelios came out for the Sega Genesis in 1990, developed by Namco. It was one of those early shooters that tried to stand out with a strong mythological theme, back when the console was still building its library. The game didn't get a huge amount of attention, but it had a certain style that stuck with some players.
You control Apollo, riding a winged horse and firing arrows at endless waves of monsters. Your main goal is to rescue the goddess Artemis from the titan Typhon, fighting through side scrolling and vertically scrolling stages. The core mechanics include a chargeable spread shot that grows wider as you hold the fire button, and collecting orbs to upgrade your weapon's power. The pacing is fast, and the difficulty ramps up quickly, especially during the multi phase boss fights. It feels like a relentless, visually busy arcade experience that demands quick reflexes and memorization.
