Closest Game to Black & White

I was a bit reluctant to buy this game. I thought the devs were going to tell us it's a bit like B&W to get us onboard and then just do a complete 180, and it will be nothing like B&W. However, I was wrong. This game is the closest game to black and white that we have in VR and even elsewhere. I have tried Deisim, godus, and other titles that were meant to be influenced by B&W, and nothing compares to this game. This is B&W standalone edition in VR. It has the creature, the Army's, the town building, the miracles, the prayers, the side quests, the bosses etc etc it's all in there! My only complaints really is that I would have liked the prayers to be more animated and desperate like they were in B&W. The prayers just seem a bit monotone in this game, and all prayers sound the same. On that note, I would have liked Good and Evil to be more distinct voice wise. I mean, it kinda works already, but it's not like B&W 😜 and the game is a bit short. That said though the game is the closest game we are probably ever going to get to black and white in VR. However, it is the standalone and mobile version of black and white VR, so don't expect the same maps size as the original games and the same details. The graphics are simpler, and the worlds aren't nearly as big. But as a long black and white fan, I can say it's scratched the itch of a black and whitegame for sure.

makes me feel godly!

Super fun to see a strategy god game in a toonier art style! Interacting with the world really makes you feel like a god it's so different from the usual PC titles. I didn't expect the creature raising to actually include teaching it skills like a pet, super fun! Can't wait to shape my world :D

Early Access Gem!

I didn't expect such a polished game and so much content from an early access title. The alchemy combined with the village management really makes you feel like a god. And I love the art style — throwing those cute little villagers around feels almost too cruel (almost). Looking forward to the next updates🎉

Let friends watch you play!

It's so incredibly captivating and heartwarming. I've already spent countless hours playing the beta and can't wait to discover the new continents. Be sure to play it with someone watching – it's so incredibly funny!

God game

I didn't really enjoy playing sandbox games before because I thought I could do anything, but it also took a lot of patience and time to accomplish something. In this, quests are given following humorous scenarios. For each quest, the way to achieve the goal is to be done freely as Sandbox game, but it's fun to achieve the quest goals one by one while feeling like becoming a god.
