Divine Academy

Divine Academy is a free and very good looking time management game with an appealing setup. You are a young trainee, on your way to becoming a god and what better place to learn than on Mount Olympus.

Divine Academy begins like any other time management game, with a guided tutorial that explains how the basics work. After a few mandatory missions, you’ll have the freedom to create your own town and see it grow into something great.

There will be the occasional tasks, after all, you’re there to learn and you never learn everything. Which should translate into there is a lot to do in this game, you’ll have plenty of hours to put into it. That notion sinks in a bit more after you see just how many spells, buildings, and collectibles there are.

Divine Academy is a great example of a game that’s created for those who just want to click stuff occasionally and not have to worry about dying, solving puzzles or making precise jumps. It’s as casual as they get. Moreover, since it looks so nice, it might just have a relaxing effect, especially with that music and colorful birds flying about.

It’s been said that Divine Academy looks good, but you actually have to appreciate the quality of the visuals, animations and design. That, however, is possible because although the game is free, there are microtransactions in it. It’s a game that has you standing idly after a point, until one building is complete, or until you finish a certain job. For those moments, you need to spend crystals. Gathering them also takes time, and if you’re in a rush, there is an actually costly solution.

Divine Academy is a by the book time management game. It has all the perks and flaws of the genre, all packed into an appealing design.
