Abbey Games, the studio behind Reus and excellent turn-based adventure Renowned Explorers, has launched its promising strategy god game Godhood into early access on PC.
Godhood is a game very much like games such as Populous, Godus and Black & White and I would define this game under the god game genre.
Create your own religion in the strategy god game Godhood. Select virtues and vices. Inspire construction of great temples, ready for rituals to be held in your name. Godhood cast players as a brand-new deity, the twist being that they're able to mix and match "dozens" of dogmas to define their own religious
Your overall goal is to become the dominant religion, requiring you to increase your pool of disciples and expand your holy site. As is typical for the genre, you can't control followers directly, but you can choose classes and abilities to nudge them toward your goal. Additionally, you're able to guide disciples through divine inspiration and godly intervention, but each has their own personality and will so it's vital to ensure their faith never falters. Resources can be gathered through the construction of buildings and temples as you manage your holy site, and it's possible to increase your follower pool by sending existing disciples out into the world in order to convert nearby tribes - using a system that Abbey calls "turn-based Ritual Combat", in which potential converts can be won over by awe, persuasion, flirtation, or even good-old brute force if nothing else works.
The focus of Godhood appears to be on your tribes-people. Your disciples have their own names, stats, and appearances, and there are an RPG-like class and leveling system behind them. As a god, you’re more of a team manager than a front-line commander. You can spend your godly power on nudging followers into acts of worship (like building temples in your name), but you can’t just plop one down like any RTS.
Abbey games said that the game is still under development and will be for another 6 months until it reaches version 1.0
