Kratos's default weapons are the Blades of Chaos, which are swords on the ends of very long chains they function as both melee weapons and Whip Swords, or perhaps Sword Chucks. The first seven games features a simple, intuitive combat interface that made fighting remarkably easy. A brutal, tormented man, Kratos begins the series as the sword of Olympus, fighting the enemies of the gods while trying to escape the horrors of his past. One Spartan soldier, Kratos, has a personal relationship with the gods that can best be described as complicated. To put the setting in simple terms, imagine the world of antiquity where all the omnipresent saviors and detrimental scourges found in countless mythology textbooks exist. God of War is a Hack and Slash and Action-Adventure video game series for the PlayStation line by SCE Santa Monica Studio.
