Overview and Gameplay
Goliath battles through medieval Scotland and modern Manhattan to destroy the corrupting Eye of Odin. Based on Disney’s animated series, Gargoyles is a single-player action-platformer built around close-range combat, wall climbing, ceiling movement, and demanding environmental hazards.
The adventure spans five major themed stages divided into multiple sections. Players fight Vikings, creatures, and robots, break through weakened structures, collect restorative items, and defeat a boss at the end of each major area.
Controls And Mechanics
