I've managed to land two copies of my two star Zeus, giving him access to his first passive ability, and greatly increasing his battle potential. Now, it's not COMPLETELY random, as you can tap/press to stop the sphere's contents from spinning early, so if you have good timing, you can aim for a specific reward, which I think is a nice touch. Spheres are how you obtain pretty much everything worthwhile in this game and opening one is a luck of the draw situation. Those green and red arrows indicate class advantage/disadvantageĬharacter 'selection' is limited to those you have in your possession. The amount you have and that can be applied to a team, will increase as you level up and gain Spheres. Each of these classes has an advantage over, and disadvantage against a certain other class, so it's wise to learn these pairings, as from my experience they can slant the tide of battle heavily in your favor when used properly. Each character also falls into a class, either God, Demigod, Hero, Ancient, or Monster. Battle Alongside Mighty AlliesĬharacter variety is diverse, and with all the additional bonuses and special traits different characters can have, it feels worthwhile to pursue collecting a stable of different fighters. Still, it's entertaining and a good enough explanation as to why gods, demigods, and monsters would all step into an arena to fight each other. Your foe is Tenebrous, son of Hades, and he has found the Chaos Vessel, an artifact which allows him to control the souls of even the Gods themselves. You, the player are known as an 'Ascender,' a person capable of summoning the spirits of warriors to battle. Now, while it's certainly not Hollywood-class writing, the story is - so far - interesting enough to hold my attention. Yes, there's a story here in Gods of Rome, and you're thrust right into it from the opening screen. If nothing else, you have to admire Gameloft's commitment to great presentation in their games Ascender, You Must Stop The Son of Hades Success was to be found, and so my journey began. I watched the trailer, decided I needed to get my fingers on this game NOW, crossed them, and searched the Windows App Store. So it wasn't a complete shock.Īnd that was about it. However, I won't deny that Gameloft has a track record of pushing the boundaries of mobile graphics in a lot of their games. It took about twenty seconds of trailer footage for me to realize that what I was looking at was a fighting game and it looked gorgeous.really gorgeous, especially for a title that was claiming to run on mobile devices. I found out about this game thanks to one of the 'Free Token' ads in Asphalt 8 that I mentioned in my review. So just how did that change? Why, through Gameloft's clever cross-game advertisements. In fact, until very recently, I hadn't even heard of the thing.

Believe it or not, this was not the game I originally intended to review this week.
