One of the smaller scenarios available in sandbox modes even allows you to participate in the Quest for the Golden Fleece. Unlike Pharoah and Caesar, Zeus directly derives these campaign objectives from either history (Peloponnesian War) or Greek mythology (the slaughter of Cyclops). Pretty open-ended right? Well if you want just an extra dose of structure, feel free to tackle one of the multiple campaign scenarios available. Just like the other variations of city-building games from Impression Games, Zeus tasks the player with the position of a mayor who needs to build the latest city to influence the land of Greece.

For those familiar with city-building games around the turn of the new millenia, this one may have slid right under your radar with its similarities to the Caesar and Pharoah franchises. It’s time we started off on this adventure and soil our hands with blood and sweat as we build the greatest empire in all of Greece in Zeus: Master of Olympus. Hello hello! It’s February and at Nerd Bacon that means an entire month full of our favorite retro games.
