In Gods and Heroes, players become classic heroes of the ancient world, born of immortal blood

Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising brings the bold and dramatic world of ancient mythology alive online. As Rome grows into its role as a dynamic Republic, enemies arise from neighboring countries like Greece, Carthage, Gaul and other lands to challenge her dominance.

But, none threaten the rising democracy with a darkness born of pure evil such as that which comes from the ancient Telchine gods. Jealous of their Olympian brethren and lured by the ardeur of retribution, the Telchine gods, legendary enemies of the Olympic gods once banished from Rome, have returned to stake a claim on the new found wealth of this rising civilization and wrest control over those who conquered them.

Embark on a heroic journey to save Rome and the Olympian Gods. Align your passion with the powers of the ancient Gods of Rome. Embark on epic quests to earn favor with your god. As your heroic prowess grows your god alliance rewards you with the ability to command the unequaled powers of the gods. Battle fierce and monstrous creatures of myth, such as Gorgons, Cyclopes, Minotaurs and make them your minions. The fate of a nation hangs in the balance and only the true covenant of gods and heroes will save Rome. Are you ready to pledge your allegiance and make a final stand?

Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising features an innovative style of combat not seen in other online multiplayer games, courtesy of Perpetual Entertainment Designer Director Stieg Hedlund, lead designer of the best-selling RPG Diablo II. Reminiscent of an Action RPG, combat moves can be linked together and even include "finishing" moves to provide a more dynamic, dramatic and visceral feel to battles. Squad-based combat is another unique aspect of Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising; players will earn the command of a custom group of warriors, Non-Player Characters (NPCs) that can be deployed in a variety of strategic groupings to form individual squads, create unique formations and implement combat tactics for these squads to execute on command, maximizing their power in combat. Get ready for intense combat action and epic conquests as you enter a heroic adventure to save Rome.
