God of War (literally in Spanish God of War) is a series of video games in 3rd person created by SCE Santa Monica Studio and distributed by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is based on the adventures of a Spartan demigod, Kratos, who faces various characters from Greek and Nordic mythology, both heroes (Heracles, Theseus, Perseus, etc.); mythological species (gorgons, harpies, or minotaurs); Greek gods (Ares, Poseidon, Zeus, among others), titans (like Cronos) and primordial gods (like Gaia). Although the Spartan warrior is at enmity with most of the gods, he receives help from many of them at some point in each installment, especially Athena.
The games are available for consoles PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation Vita and also for mobile phones. Early games have been remastered for play on modern consoles, so as of today, six of the eight titles are available for PS3, with the exception of God of War: Betrayal and 2018's God of War.
