All My Gods is an interesting twist on your classic building games. When I was playing it, I actually found myself thinking of several games that it was similar too. In All My Gods, you play as the son of Saturn who needs to prove to the other gods that he is worthy of taking his father's place and can become a mighty god. The point of the game is to basically build buildings, collect resources, increase your population size, and fulfill quests.
All My Gods is an interesting twist on your classic building games. When I was playing it, I actually found myself thinking of several games that it was similar too. It kind of reminded me of Virtual Villagers or the Westward games, but I know other people have likened it to Sim City, World of Zellian, and Be the King. The point of the game is to basically build buildings, collect resources, increase your population size, and fulfill quests.
In All My Gods, you play as the son of Saturn who needs to prove to the other gods that he is worthy of taking his father's place and can become a mighty god. As you move along, you are given goals to meet, but for the most part, they are not timed. You are required, at times, to build certain buildings, but you are not told where to build them. You are given the magical glove to be able to use the Hand of God, which allows you to quickly perform tasks such as instantly finish buildings, pick up resources, or remove obstructions; but be careful, because the amount you have is limited and regenerates slower than you would like.
You need to earn knowledge points (kind of like tech points) by building schools. These are required to learn different kinds of knowledge, such as architecture, money, etc. There is plenty to do and lots of different kinds of resources to collect.
However, All My Gods is not what I would call a typical resource management or time management game as it is more complex. The most important difference is that it is relaxing (or frustrating if you don't like slow and relaxing!) If you make a mistake, you can take your time to fix the problem. When you build, you can choose where your buildings go, and, even better, you can move them around as you get more land cleared.
As with every game, there are pros and cons to All My Gods. But, someone's con would be another person's pro. For example, in this game you don't get to control individual lives, and they don't need to gain experience. So is that good or bad? It depends on you. I think the most important thing you can do is just try the game for an hour and see if it is your cup of tea.
