A game unlike any other
I had some misgivings about the game at first, but I learned to appreciated it. It's original in every possible way - the world, the mechanics, the strategy. It's unlike any other strategy game and I really wish more such games were made; games that are willing to go against expectations and try something new. The strategy required from this game is different from most other strategy games; the soul mechanics force the player to utilize different methods than other RTS games would make you used to. Even though the only resource are souls and there are only three types of buildings, the game possesses strategic depth; it's impossible to simply rush your enemy with creatures and hope for the best. Though the graphics are dated, the design of gods and creatures is original and fresh. Even classis monsters such as ents or dragons get a unique spin. Finally, the game doesn't take itself entirely seriously. The gods are infantile and quarrelsome and the creatures' voices are often quite humorous. All in all, a game worth recommending. A sequel would be appreciated, but that's unlikely.
