  1. The city-building series has been popular before, but we think Zeus has the potential to blow this series up big-time.
  2. Zeus is a different city builder game because it is not restricted to just that. It is also a game of wits and diplomacy, as well a game of survival in the struggle for power.
  3. Zeus plays like a best-of-all-worlds combination of some of the greatest strategy games ever.
  4. The real fun begins when monsters begin to show up and you must fulfill the requirements for recruiting a Hero that will bash its head in before too many people get gobbled up by the wandering nasty.

    This game is, by far, one of the best city building games on the market. It's not just building a city, but overcoming great obstacles in your way and dominating the entire Greek world. There are many things that can be learned from playing this game, such as diplomacy and responsibility. Overall a great game and a learning experience. Expand

    One of the best games I've played. Its better than age of empires, sin city and other similar games. This is highly recommended to anyone who enjoys city building or strategy games. I've been playing this game since 2004 and it never gets old. Expand
  4. I don't even know what to say; this is one the the greatest games ever made. Years of city building developing experience went into this, and it shows. Truly an opus from an era that should have never ended. Don't forget to grab the expansion if you can find it, hopefully GoG will pick this up soon enough. Expand
