War of the Gods: Prologue

Even though it's not my favorite type of game, it was pretty fun.

"War of the Gods: Prologue" is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "War of the Gods". War of the Gods is isn't even a released product, so it's difficult to comment too much on what it may be, but it looks and feels like a mobile app RPG-themed minigame intended to carry a nasty cash shop... certainly nobody should be fooled into thinking if the product is ever released it will have any value as a real PC game. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not War of the Gods, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here with "War of the Gods: Prologue" too. This is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ads in your browser are. This is a game demo that's been dumped on Steam to advertise another Steam store page in the hopes of raking in some cash. Just because advertisements are free, doesn't mean they're worth your time. It's important to understand there's a formal process to create a demo/page for a game which hasn't been followed here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/demos While it might seem like an inocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful. This advertisement is taking up marketing space and visibility that would be better made available to a developer that's done the right thing and created a full game. Instead, that visibility is given over to a demo/advert that's been published incorrectly and is polluting the marketplace. It's unclear if this mistake was made through incompetence or a deliberate intent to mislead gamers. Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behaviour and it's not good for gamers. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 8 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Advertisements and incorrectly published demos don't add +1 to your game collector count, they aren't full games. It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers, you deserve better than adverts.

Игра "War of the Gods: Prologue" оставила смешанное впечатление. С одной стороны, привлекает необычный сеттинг, предлагающий взглянуть на противостояние древних божеств через призму пошаговой стратегии. Визуальный стиль, вдохновленный античной эстетикой, выглядит неплохо, хотя чувствуется некоторая бюджетность. Геймплей, в целом, довольно стандартен для жанра: управление ресурсами, развитие базы, найм войск и тактические сражения. Однако, система божественных сил и умений добавляет интересную глубину, позволяя ощутить влияние богов на исход битвы. С другой стороны, Prologue явно ощущается как демо-версия. Кампания короткая, в ней представлено всего несколько фракций, а возможности развития ограничены. Интерфейс местами выглядит перегруженным, а некоторые элементы нуждаются в полировке. Баланс также вызывает вопросы, особенно в поздних стадиях игры. В целом, "War of the Gods: Prologue" – это многообещающая основа для будущей полноценной игры. Если разработчики учтут недостатки и разовьют потенциал, то у них может получиться интересная стратегия. Пока же это скорее ознакомительный тизер, который может заинтересовать любителей жанра, но не предложит глубокого и продолжительного опыта.

It seems like the full release is already out so I'm not sure why the trial came out 6 months after possibly because it's leaving early access. I had more fun than I expected when I started playing the gear looks pretty cool and I like how the skill system works with weapons and the trinkets you find. This prologue is not very user friendly though seeing it was a prologue/trial version I was hoping the full game would be releasing later with more quality of life things such as better controls/translation etc. Overall I liked the prologue, but I don't know if I like it enough to buy a full release version that came out well before this.
