This title is a RPG and is quite different from competitive products.

Playing Numen, you’ll become a Hero with an enduring body and strong will, who travels in world of Greek mythology, becoming stronger with every quest! The action takes place in а marvelous world of the ancient Greece full of mythical creatures, legendary warriors and ambitious Gods. Villages and settlements spread over vast seashores and stony plains are full of both hostile and peaceful inhabitants. Some of them have interesting and exciting quests for you!
All your movements are being watched by immortal Olympians - Immortal but not impassive! They have an argument - who can be named the most powerful among them? So the Gods have decided that each of them must train one human hero. The God whose hero turns to be the strongest will be the winner! After you choose one of 3 classes for your character (magician, warrior, hunter) you should select your own God who becomes your patron. Divine tutors are different in bonuses, talents and capabilities, which they can give to you. Game style, quests and secret locations are also different for each character. Your hero must perform religious rites and learn rituals. Also you can find your rivals at special arenas during the game. Sometimes you can gather a group with other Heroes to pass through difficult quests. Numen will give you an opportunity to fight against dangerous enemies like Cerberus, Medusa Gorgone, Haron, Cyclop, centaurs, Nubians… You should be armed well enough to win! You can buy the best weapons at auctions.

Featuring an engaging storyline, the game takes the player on a path from a weak, naive youth to a legendary hero, who fights in the name of his or her chosen deity.

Akella is the game's publisher in RUSSIA. Not worldwide. And the game is being developed by Czech studio Cinemax.
P.S. does it have anything to do with Gary Brolsma & http://www.newnuma.com/ ? :DDD

I hope that isn't the standard camera in those screenshots. It looks a little too close for my liking. Wasn't this supposed to be out a year ago?

Haha, heard that term a few times and yeah funnily enough shallow water is more dangerous than wolves or poisonous spiders it would seem, of course trying to go swimming in a full suite of bronze armor is one thing but not even being able to cross a small river safely without fear of drowning is a bit odd though it was funny to see.
(Death is fairly light in terms of penalties but time passes and enemies respawn so it has some downsides.)

So its a hack and slash rather then an RPG?

Yes I think that describes it quite well, there are RPG like elements to the game however but it's primarily about action.
Choices for example tie back to what I mentioned earlier on what profession you choose which carries consequences later on in the game as per the description above about the game which god you will choose to serve, it's divided into nine Greek goods three specializing on each area which is hunter, warrior or mage and the choice you make will affect the rest of the game in what favors you can expect from the god and how other champions will interact with you. 
Speaking of that this is about a sort of contest between these champions so being too friendly or helpful might make your god "annoyed" to use the game term for it which results in a loss of favor or maybe other things, to gain favor sacrifices are needed and at the moment where I am a chicken can be chosen for 100 gold, a sheep for 1000 and a ox for 3000 giving either 5, 10 or 20 favor points I think.
Used to ask for special bonuses or unique attributes but those require a very high level and a very high amount of favor (Which costs a lot of gold or other things to gain such as defeating the other champions in arena battles or such.)
Some quests also allow different choices but there isn't that much of a difference between them from what I've noticed so far.
No real bugs or such encountered yet but sometimes quest items won't count on pickup so you might need to go back to the main menu and into the game again from there to get it to detect that you have the item needed or if possible pick up another such item.
(Stacking sometimes doesn't work either with certain items like fur tails and spider legs which are common on the first island during your childhood but those are only useful for selling anyhow.)
Can also purchase a shovel to dig for certain treasures and some quests only work at a certain time of day like a nocturnal enemy or items like a certain flower only appearing at night.
(Enemies are also more active night time it would seem and townspeople aren't around either so you'll frequently have to rest at camps to alter time, this is also the only way to save the game aside from the autosave mechanism.)
Not that many attributes to improve aside from the basics for each class (Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence plus a few minor helpful ones which are Quickness, Endurance and Focus.) but there is a lot of skills to learn and other mechanics such as warriors being able to learn finishing moves to deal out a lot of damage once various conditions are met.
Tons of items however but still only high level stuff (50 to 80) so I've only bought smaller items like potions, shovels, torches and backpacks (Improves inventory space, either a medium one or a large one, you only need the large backpack and it can only help once so no need to buy several.)

Is this better than Hazen The Dark Whispers? How do they compare?

Hazen is even more of a straightforward hack & slash I would say, Numen is also very difficult early on and also gets very open ended although at 1.5 or so GB I don't think the gameworld will be all that big, I find both enjoying though as with Legend Hand of God in terms of entertainment from budget RPG's (Or action-RPG's I guess they're called.)
Ofcourse they can't compare against other epic titles like say Titan Quest to try and give a good perspective about the quality of the game.
(Sort of, Titan Quest had a lot of patches as well and the developers recently reformed after previously going bankrupt to create their other game which is coming along quite well apparently.)
