#ZEUS POSEIDON STEAM SERIES#
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. 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. The game features 2d graphics and offers an isometric view of the game world. Sufficiently worshiping the Greek gods will cause them to bestow blessings on the player's city which provide a material benefit. Monsters from Greek mythology feature in the form of natural disasters which must be managed by the player, typically by hiring the correct hero. 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. 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. Zeus is set in a mythical version of ancient Greece and features many of the gods from the Greek pantheon and legendary monsters from ancient Greek mythology.
The game features a number of changes from previous titles in the series, including being set in Ancient Greece as well as changes to certain gameplay mechanics however, it is considered to be in most aspects very similar to its predecessor, Caesar III.

Zeus: Master of Olympus is a single-player strategy game developed by Impressions Games and published by Sierra Studios.
