Zeus Master Of Olympus PC Game 2001 review:
This is a version of a myth from ancient Greece that contains many Greek gods and mythical monsters from ancient Greek mythology.
This is a single-player strategy game that is considered to be an additional installment in the City Building series of games. Like previous titles in the series, Zeus focuses on the building and development of a city in ancient times. The game chooses not to accurately portray the historical setting in which it is based, choosing instead to include elements based on mythology and anachronisms. The player is in charge of building up and governing a city-state which requires managing infrastructure, farming, industries, commerce, religion, entertainment, and education, as well as wars with rival cities.
Monsters from Greek mythology feature in the form of natural disasters which must be managed by the player, typically by hiring the correct hero. Sufficiently worshiping the Greek gods will cause them to bestow blessings on the player’s city which provides a material benefit. The game features 2d graphics and offers an isometric view of the game world.
A side panel and a number of menus allow the player to more easily navigate the map and to micro-manage various aspects of government, such as tax rates and wages. Zeus grants players the choice to play either a series of episodical, story-based adventures, in which a set of unique objectives must be attained in order to progress or to play the so-called “sandbox mode”, in which the game’s objectives are more open-ended and less objective-based.
