While the player starts the game three weeks prior to this event, Kratos' background is told by the Narrator during the game (revealed to be the Titan Gaia in God of War II). The story is told mostly in flashback, after being framed with a scene from the present wherein Kratos, standing atop the tallest cliff in Greece, laments how the gods have abandoned him and then proceeds to toss himself into the waters below. Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. The load times are masked by prefetching the next area as the player traverses a long, relatively featureless area. While most epic games suffer from immersion-breaking loading screens, God of War's story mode switches seamlessly from the title screen to FMV sequences, to gameplay, and back, with very little load time. God of War is notable for its movie-like presentation. Throughout the story, Kratos obtains numerous weapons and powers from the various Gods of Olympus, many pertaining to classic Greek myths, such as spells like Medusa's Gaze, or weapons like the Blade of Artemis.

He can find Gorgon Eyes and Phoenix Feathers as well, allowing him to increase his overall health and magic respectively. Spread all through the game, and obtainable in various ways, are red experience orbs, which allow him to level up his weapons and magic powers. For the majority of enemies, Kratos can also initiate a minigame that involves precise button presses, analog spins, or button mashing, to finish off enemies with a bloody special kill. Kratos, the main character in the God of War series, uses an array of both weapons and magic powers to fight many different types of enemies, most of them based on creatures of Greek mythology. God of War focuses heavily on bloody combat and puzzle-solving, much like Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.
