God of War: Betrayal

About

God of War: Betrayal is a 2D side-scrolling action game that brings the Spartan’s relentless combat to mobile devices. Play as Kratos, slicing through enemies with combo moves while navigating platforming challenges and solving environmental puzzles. Despite being the only mobile entry in the series, it captures the core gameplay loop of its console siblings, blending fast-paced brawling with mythological storytelling. The controls are tailored for smaller screens, letting you chain attacks and dodge obstacles in a streamlined experience. The game earned praise for sticking to the series’ roots, winning "Wireless Game of the Month" in June 2007 and the "Best Platform Game" (wireless) award that year. Kratos battles beasts like the giant Argos and Hades’ forces, uncovering an assassin’s plot to turn the gods against him. The story wraps with a brutal showdown against Ceryx, Zeus’ messenger, leaving Kratos’ defiance clear. While shorter than mainline entries, it delivers a punchy, authentic slice of the God of War universe.

Storyline

Following the events of God of War, Kratos is leading his Spartan army against Greece. While fighting alongside his warriors, he is attacked by a number of beasts led by the giant, Argos, who is sent by Hera to stop the war Kratos is waging. However, before Kratos is able to kill the beast, it is killed by an unknown assassin as a clear effort to destroy the anti-hero's reputation with the Gods of Olympus. Kratos pursues him through Greece in order to discover the identity of the assassin's master, who is attempting to turn the gods against him. However, he is being slowed down by an attack of Hades' minions. Soon, the son of Hermes, Ceryx, is sent to deliver a message to Kratos from Zeus, who's becoming increasingly concerned with the amount of destruction left in Kratos' path. Ceryx confronts Kratos, but the God of War refuses to cease and engages the messenger in battle. Taking advantage of the situation, the assassin escapes. The game concludes as Kratos kills Ceryx and the Spartan soldiers celebrate, but observing the dead god's body, he realizes that Zeus would eventually take action for this act of defiance.
