The Whims of the Gods is a city-builder game set in ancient times, based on cooperation between two players. Instead of competing, it encourages players to collaborate to jointly defend their cities from external threats and survive. This mechanic changes the traditional approach to the genre and encourages them to develop new strategies and playstyles.

Build a vibrant ancient metropolis, satisfy the needs of your inhabitants, and manage resources efficiently. Although building basic houses and warehouses is simple, creating complex production systems, cultivating plants, and raising animals can be challenging, even for experienced players. Use auto-battler mechanics to defend the city from a growing threat, activating special abilities like mass healing or increased damage against opponents, depending on the technological progress and development of your settlement.

Prepare your city for unpredictable events and try to anticipate challenges to avoid severe consequences. You will never know what the various deities have in store for you, but they certainly aren’t here to make your life easier. Choose your role in the city’s development and your strategy for technological advancement through key decisions. Your city can take many different paths toward success or collapse. Different endings will be unlocked depending on your decisions, so it is important to think carefully before taking the next step, one wrong decision could have serious consequences.

The Whims of the Gods is being developed by the Polish studio PJ Games and will be launched on PC in the third quarter of this year via Steam Early Access.
