Boring Characters, Boring Gameplay
The Good
The graphics are quite nice
The Bad
Generic characters, the "3D" doesn't amount to much, dull gameplay.
The Bottom Line
Mortal Kombat in 3D was the big advertising for War Gods, with lots and lots of emphasis on the 3D. War Gods does not feel like a 3D game at all, though, with â3Dâ movement being relegated to holding a button and just being nothing more than a basic dodge.
In terms of fighting, War Gods is the kind of game that I can do alright at. This is probably a bad sign for the game, as Iâm dreadful at combinations and Iâm what people call a âbutton masherâ. I found a few cheap tricks that seemed to work to get through the game. Each character seems to have an annoying âtrapâ move.
Characters make or break a game like this and War Gods has such an immensely dull cast. For the most part, theyâre loosely based on ransom cultural gods or stereotypes and have none of their own personality, with a robot and a few scantily clad women thrown in. None of the characters were someone I actually wanted to play as.
War Gods is also incredibly light on fighters. You start, pick a character then fight through all the other characters. Player 2 can take over these characters and thatâs it. Thereâs no training or practice â thereâs not even a versus mode where player 2 can choose their character. Itâs an extremely bare bones arcade port of an extremely boring game.
