In the third installment of the God of War series, Kratos debuted on a handheld gaming platform for the first time. A prequel to the first God of War game, Chains of Olympus, takes place ten years before the events of that game. The gameplay is very similar to that of its predecessors, but there have been a few tweaks here and there. As Kratos progresses through the stages, he must defeat foes and bosses, complete puzzles based on boxes, and participate in quick-time events. In addition, he gathers red orbs to strengthen his weapons and abilities, gorgon eyeballs to improve his health, and phoenix feathers to enhance his magic power.
The game’s controls had to be modified to accommodate the fewer buttons available on the PSP. It is now necessary to use the analog stick in addition to the shoulder buttons to avoid it. The Blades of Chaos, arguably the most recognizable weapon from the God of War series, are also included. Several new weapons and magic spells, such as the Light of Dawn, Sun Shield, and Efreet, can be used. The game begins when the gods dispatch Kratos to Attica to protect it from the invading Persian army. However, when Morpheus launches his attack, Kratos must muster his strength to defend the world once more.
