Battle of Gods: Ascension

Introduction

In the gaming world the saying "Your first impression is your last impression" is twice as true, because your debut project as a developer establishes your reputation. Therefore, many Android developers tend to produce games similar to existing world hits. This is what Studios of Magic decided they should do for good measure. Their Battle of Gods: Ascension is a compilation of Age of Heroes, Sid Meier's Civilization, and War of Gods. So here goes. 

Story Line

One day Hades, the ruler of the Underworld, got bored with his shadowy kingdom and his Furies, who were responsible for torturing the guilty, and decided to free the evil spirits imprisoned in Tartarus and set them upon the ever suffering Earth. This feat was supposed to lure the Olympians from their Mount, so that the power-hungry King of the Dead could dispose of them more easily. However, the Olympian Gods turned out to be smarter than they had seemed and they sent their children to fight the evil flow. Hercules, Achilles, and Atlanta descended upon the lands to clear them of the grime of the lower world. 

GamePlay

Although the story line bears the appeal of Greek mythology, the gameplay simply compiles elements of Age of Heroes and Sid Meier's Civilization where you need to move from one location to another in a step-by-step mode and choose strategically beneficial spots to strike the swarms of enemies around the dominion.  

Bottom Line

If you feel comfortable with a slower game pace than, say, an arcade RPG usually suggests, then do take notice of Battle of Gods: Ascension, as it should suit your tempo.
