Defenders of Delphi is a real-time strategy game based on the historical events of the Greco-Roman wars. In the game, you will take the role of a commander of the Greek city-state of Athens.  You must lead your army to battle against these enemies. You must defend the Temple of Apollo from an invading army of Gauls as they pass through on their way to the legendary Temple of Delphi. You must defeat the barbarian marauders in 16 consecutive campaign battles to save the illustrious temple and the people of Greece from the gold-thirsty Gauls.

Defenders of Delphi have been built with the idea that it is a game for the entire family, and that the player can control his own army in the same way a real general would lead his troops to victory.
