German game developer 42 Bits Entertainment has announced a brand-new god game Fata Deum coming to Steam in spring 2021. Fata Deum is inspired by old god games and lets you mold settlements and townsfolk in your image.
Fata Deum allows you to build settlements and compete with other gods for influence. The more followers you have, the more power you wield as a god. You will need to manage your mana to manipulate your settlements, devotees, and the fabric of reality itself. More power will allow you to pick unearthly feats to wield in the world.
The developers had a successful Kickstarter campaign for the title which gave them $70,000 and now two years of development later, the team is planning to launch the game in Early Access on Steam in order to get community feedback and input to finalize the game and release a more stable version later ion 2021.
Check out the reveal trailer for Fata Deum below:
Key features of Fata Deum include:
- Conquer or convince – During the day, use your influence on the mortals. Will you bless and inspire them onto good work, or strike fear into their hearts with terrifying visions? But be wary, the townsfolk have their own free will. At night, you can manipulate settlements. Instruct the mortals to build you mighty temples for worship, farms, and lumber mills so that they may prosper, or even to ruin other villages.
- Frighten or foster – Perhaps you’d like to be a tyrant, ruling over a kingdom of debauchery and blood. Raise an army and sacrifice your mortals to summon terrifying demons. Your choice. Or maybe you do believe in fun, festivities, and spreading the love, but have no qualms weakening your enemies by spreading fear – or just hitting them with a Thunderstrike.
- Shape a living world – As your influence grows, the living world will shape around it, getting ever vaster. Each god manifests their kingdom differently. Will yours be a kingdom of crops and light, or twisted trees and glowering darkness? You’ll battle gods of Violence, Deceit, Fertility, and Pleasure.
- Experience your story – Play a young god rising to glory in campaign mode, which is full of curious and revealing challenges set to an engaging narrative.
Head over to Steam to add the game to your wishlist and get to know more updates as the release of the title gets closer.
