THE GOD OF STRATEGY GAMES

In ancient Greece, the youngest classical civilization portrayed in the series, Zeus serves up a world filled with heroes, gods, and other mythological creatures. With tasks that can be completed in less than an hour, Zeus promises to be quick to learn and the most fun city building game yet.

Zeus is a game of politics and trade, gods and heroes, immersing the player into the mythology and daily life of ancient Greece. Players can build legendary city-states like Athens and Sparta and guide their evolution by building colonies, invading or trading with neighbours, attracting heroes to rid the countryside of monsters, or even calling on the gods themselves to help keep the mortals in check. Developed by Impressions Studios, Zeus: Master of Olympus is designed to be fun for strategy gamers of all levels.
