ABOUT THE WHIMS OF THE GODS The Whims of the Gods is a city-builder game set in ancient times, offering a core gameplay mechanic built around online co-op for two players. As a result, the game will encourage gamers to completely change their way of thinking and the play styles they’ve developed in the past. Instead of competing, players will need to cooperate for mutual benefits. Instead of attacking each other's cities, they’ll defend themselves together against the impending attack of their adversaries. Only together will they be able to face the ultimate survival challenge.
THE WHIMS OF THE GODS – MAIN FEATURES
- City of Dreams. Build your city and watch it grow. Become the leader of an emerging civilization!
Build a vibrant ancient metropolis, meet the needs of its residents, and efficiently process all acquired resources. Building simple houses or warehouses for food doesn’t seem like much of a challenge, but building complex production systems, growing plants, and breeding animals could be demanding, even for experienced players.
- A mountain full of dangers. Battle terrifying enemies crawling from the heart of the mountain. Defend your city at all costs!
Make the most out of auto-battler mechanics to defend your city against a growing threat. Activate special abilities while on the battlefield, such as mass healing or dealing increased damage to opponents, all depending on the technological advancements you’ve previously developed and the buildings placed in your village.
- Chronicle of Destiny. Explore the mystical calendar that shapes your fate, revealing upcoming events!
Prepare your city for what’s coming and try to predict the unpredictable to avoid severe consequences. Sometimes you will need to build hospitals for sick residents, and sometimes warehouses to accommodate exceptionally fertile crops. You’ll never know what the whimsical deities have prepared for you next, but they sure aren’t here to make your life any easier.
- The anger of the volcano. Face the relentless fury of an impending volcanic eruption!
The destruction of your fledgling civilization is approaching, and faster than you think. Try satisfying the whims of the gods by trading with them to buy yourself more time before the cataclysm strikes. Gain the trust of the deities or cleverly outsmart them. Use the extensive religion mode to your advantage and turn to the gods to receive their blessings. In the end, who said that a disastrous future couldn’t be avoided?
- Destiny Duos. Take part in a cooperative game with another player. Join forces to create a thriving metropolis!
The Whims of the Gods offers a unique cooperation system. Instead of competing, cooperate. Use the system of key decisions to determine your role in the city's development and your technological progress.
- The weight of decision-making. Choose your next step carefully – it’ll shape your future!
There are many different ways your city may develop and different paths you can take to reach victory, or fail and vanish, lost to time. Different game endings will unlock depending on your choices, so think twice before you take your next step – the wrong one may cost you dearly.
The Whims of the Gods is being developed by the Polish studio PJ Games and will launch on
Steam Early Access.
