Rise of the Argonauts - Interview @ GameZone

A different face represents Rise of the Argonauts this time with one Andrew Rubino answering GameZone's questions.  A bit on Jason:

Does he have any powers or special abilities?

AR: Jason starts his journey as a warrior without peer, but he can continue to grow even stronger by earning favor with his patron gods. Each god will grant Jason Aspects, powerful abilities that reflect that god’s ideology. For example, Ares is all about wading into combat with no concern for defense, so he gives Jason Aspects like Conquest, which gives Jason health whenever he kills a foe, and Rampage, which temporaily gives Jason the strength to toss enemies across the battlefield with every blow. Hermes, on the other hand, is more about trickery and agility, so he bestows Jason with Merciless Strikes, which lets Jason deal massive damage if he can get behind his enemies, which works great with Quicksilver, an Aspect that increases the speed of Jason’s dodges. There are 25 Aspects per god, so players have 100 Aspects to choose from!

The gods will also sometimes directly intervene on Jason’s behalf though God Powers, such as Gates of Tartarus, in which Hermes opens up a gateway to the Underworld that acts as a mini-black hole which will rip enemies’ souls out of their bodies if Jason can knock them into it. Jason can call upon Athena to grant him Storm Spear, which let’s Jason hurl bolts of lightning at his foes, blasting through their shields and tearing through their bodies. These are just two examples of the sixteen God Powers players can get in the game, but they are all very powerful and very cool.

There's also a new video out titled "Kythra", which you can grab at FileFront.
