"God of War: Betrayal" is a piece of video game history. It’s a 2D side-scrolling action-adventure game that was originally released for Java-enabled mobile phones back in 2007, filling a critical narrative gap between the first two landmark console games. This is not a port of any PS2 or PS3 title; it is a unique entry in the series, often considered the third main installment chronologically.
