GODS & GLORY

Gods and Glory is a real-time online strategy game developed by Wargaming Group. The company is known mainly for World of Tanks, but the developer has made other titles, e.g. Master of Orion: Conquer the Stars. This production was created with mobile devices in mind and has been released on AND and iOS, among others. The game is distributed in a free-to-play model with microtransactions.

### Mechanics

Gods and Glory is set in a fantastical, war-torn world. The gameplay is based on two pillars: development of the main character and management of the growing power of the state. We can develop our protagonist by acquiring new skills and equipment – there are a variety of weapons and armor as well as special upgrades, which give additional bonuses. The core of the game is real-time battles with enemies, during which we also use special powers offered by six deities watching over the universe.

It is also up to us to expand and improve our own state and gradually transform it into a world empire. We can form alliances with friendly countries controlled by other players, and the area we occupy is visible on the global map. We can capture new territories by using either military strength or diplomatic means – in the first case, the key to success is not only creating making use of the offensive abilities of the whole battalion of heroes, but also to provide the capital with adequate defensive capabilities, e.g. by placing buildings that can damage attackers. We must also take care of the technological field – access to raw materials is obtained by taking over colonies scattered around the world.

### Technical aspects

Gods and Glory on the AND and iOS platform uses a two-dimensional environment, and the cartoon graphics make a positive impression. The game also features its own original soundtrack, has voiced dialogues and a tutorial that will introduce new players to the game.
