The Whims of the Gods is a cooperation-focused city-builder in which players are tasked with constructing and managing an ancient city. In addition to constructing buildings, they will have to satisfy the needs of their citizens and defend against aggressors emerging from the volcano at the heart of the island. The Whims of the Gods is set for an Early Access launch on PC in Q3 2024.
The Whims of the Gods offers a fresh perspective on the city-building genre by building the gameplay around cooperation among players. As rulers of a thriving city, players have the freedom to choose their duties. However, it is important to emphasize that regardless of their chosen roles, they pursue common goals, such as increasing the city’s population or researching technologies. Both local and online cooperation will be possible.

In The Whims of the Gods, players are primarily tasked with creating production chains, utilizing their citizens to gather resources and move them to places where they can be processed. This starts from constructing simple gathering spots and warehouses but expands to growing plants, breeding animals, supplying energy to buildings, maintaining armies and trading with the gods.
Monsters will periodically emerge from the volcano at the heart of the island, threatening to damage the players’ city. The implemented combat module is based on auto-battler mechanics and features escalating levels of threat. Players will have to train soldiers and maintain their army to fight back. To further influence the course of the battle, players can activate special abilities such as mass healing or increased attack damage.

The land on which players will develop their city is full of unpredictable events that are revealed through a mystical calendar at the foot of the volcano. This will enable them to prepare themselves for various, often unexpected, situations such as epidemics or exceptionally bountiful harvests. Players can also turn to helpful gods, offering prayers in exchange for gifts and blessings.
