A new trailer for the Ancient Greek city builder Theos: Cities of Myth has been released, showcasing this classically styled sim’s gameplay.
The trailer covers the key areas you need to tackle in order to grow your Polis.
- The Sanctuary: Erect your divine seat of power and the central heart of your city.
- Divine Favor & Wrath: Satisfy the whims of 7 Olympian Gods to unlock powerful blessings—or face their wrath.
- Mastering the City: Manage supply chains, optimize citizen needs, and enjoy full control over unit pathways (no more lost walkers!).
- Legends & Conquest: Attract historical figures and legendary heroes to your polis, build an all-conquering military powerhouse or a thriving trading empire.
A spiritual successor to Pharaoh: A New Era, Theos jumps across to an ancient Greek setting and looks to explore this new time period and mythology. Each city you build within the game will pay tribute to a specific Greek deity, such as Athen or Ares. Your city will have to abide by your God’s wishes if you wish to have the chance to cater to your citizens’ needs and grow.
The game will build on the look and feel of Pharaoh: A New Era, retaining a hand-drawn isometric aesthetic in keeping with the early aughts, and having animated citizens doing their thing in the various buildings – and you’ll need plenty of different structures to cater to the societal needs of your people, as well as producing materials and goods for your future expansions.
Those expansions can be a little bit warlike, as you can recruit an army to keep your people safe, or to conquer and claim other lands away from your main city.
