Peter Molyneux's Much-Awaited God Game Godus Launches on iOS

[RaduTyrsina]

Peter Douglas Molyneux is a British video game designer and game programmer, known for the god games he created - Dungeon Keeper, Populous, Black & White, as well as Theme Park, the Fable series and Curiosity – What's Inside the Cube?. At his new studio 22Cans, the renowned game developer has been working for the past months on Godus. And now the game has been released for iPhone and iPad users.

The game is said to be an unofficial sequel to Curiosity, an experimental Molyneux-designed game which forced people to frantically tap away at a cube in order to discover what’s inside. Godus is slightly different, as it features cartoonish graphics and lets you rule over a living, breathing world as you shape, mold and sculpt every inch of the landscape.

Godus is a modern, compelling, eye-catching reinvention of the god game. You are a powerful deity, devoutly worshipped by your Followers. In return for this devotion, you protect them, grow their civilization and sculpt the very lands on which they live.

As your civilization grows, so do your powers. You can beautify the world, or wreak destruction. Guide your people to peace and prosperity, or prepare for conflict with your foes. You’re the god and they’re your playthings.

Let's have a look at all the features present in the game:

• Sculpt the world – Raise mountains, carve out rivers, fill the land with forests and lakes. Use your touch to physically shape, mold and sculpt every inch of the landscape, making it unique to you.
• Settle new lands – Explore a seemingly endless universe of new lands, where you’ll encounter many surprises, including other tribes.
• Create villages and towns – Group your Followers together to create charming villages or thriving towns, specialize these into building, farming or mining communities.
• Meet the Astari – Your world is not empty. It’s also inhabited by the mischievous Astari, who will do everything they can to persuade your Followers to come and join them. As a God, you must use your powers to deal with these pesky people.
• Wield incredible powers – Shape your world with love or destruction. Beautify the world with miracles, or punish your followers with the pitiless forces of nature.
• Inspire your followers – As you play, you’ll unlock amazing new abilities that will advance your nation from a primitive beginning to a prestigious future. Your timeline will display your breakthroughs like cooking, farming, mining, trading, philosophy and weapons.
