Get ready to play God. Peter Molyneux, who created the game genre, has just launched Godus on the App Store.
The game was developed by Molyneux’s 22cans and DeNA. Here’s a quick game trailer. Click here if you can’t see it.
Molyneux discusses more about the game:
“In Godus your hands will sculpt the mountains and carve rivers. Your touch will create pastures for your people. You will be loved by tiny worshipers that need your help to grow and your direction to progress through the ages of civilization. Power comes to you through influence, and your miracles guide the forces of nature. You must decide whether to use such awesome power for good or ill. As you progress through the game you will find history hidden in the land through mysterious artifacts that uncover the true story behind your Followers. By journeying to far off lands to complete quests, you will bring back powerful abilities for your ever-gracious people. I’m fascinated to see how players wield such powers on mobile.”A universal app designed for the iPhone/iPod touch and iPad/iPad mini, Godus can be downloaded now on the App Store for free. There are a number of in-app purchases available. Interestingly, Godus has a unique tie-in with Molyneux’s previous iOS game Curiosity. The winner of that brick-tapping game, Bryan Henderson from Scotland, is an all-powerful digital god in the game and will receive a small slice of the game’s revenue. Godus definitely looks beautiful. I’m looking forward to trying it out.
