Pick your favourite Greek god and build a metropolis in their name in the strategy city-builder Theos: Cities of Myth

Or your least favourite, I won't judge

Fancy devoting your entire existence to the whims and desires of a variety of Greek gods? Sure you do! At least in the safety of your digital blanket that is your Steam library. To do such a thing, you'll be wanting to check out Theos: Cities Of Myth, an upcoming city-builder where you do just that, all in service of pleasing those fickle deities.

Well, not entirely in service of them. You'll also need to take the wants of the people that inhabit your city into consideration, in what sounds like a tightrope balancing act. In Theos, as the founder of this new city, you must establish a sanctuary where your chosen deity is worshipped. Said deities include the big ones, the ones we've all heard of (or at least recognise from many thirstposts over Hades), like Zeus, Athena, Hermes, Ares, Poseidon, Hera and Dionysus, all of whom want you to run your city differently..

A key part of building a bustling metropolis is establishing road networks to help the transportation of resources and improvement of your buildings. You must see over markets, philosophy schools, theatres and temples to make sure your citizens can live a good, enriched life, and there's the option to trade with nearby cities too. This comes with its own sense of strategy, as you can build alliances with these cities, but you may also have to compete for resources, or build up an army to fight against their own. Battles between armies apparently play out in real-time too, though details on this part are slim right now.

There's a real mix of history and mythology too, with figures from both the real world and the realm of stories promised to appear in your city, presuming you can do enough to attract them. Perhaps not one for the pedants about history out there, but appealing to mythology heads at least.

No release date attached to Theos just yet, but you can wishlist it on Steam in the meantime.
