GODS: Lands of Infinity Demo

The fantasy genre is definitely the most susceptible to new ideas and crazy universes, featuring a variety of interesting creatures, magic and incredible landscapes. However, they are also on the brink of war most of the time, whether it's the struggle between different races, or a great evil that intends on conquering the realm and purging everything in its path.

GODS: Lands of Infinity is an action-RPG that also integrates a turn-based combat system into the gameplay, as well as strong economy that rewards your ability to play as a skilled trader and take full advantage of the loot you gather along the way. While the overall experience may not leave any deep marks on your conscience, nor provide you with too many memorable moments, the game is definitely worth a try, if only to experience the lively universe that was created for it.

Hence, the story talks about a land in which powerful gods are in a constant state of war with each other, using anything at their disposal to get rid of the those who do not agree with them. At one point, one of these gods seems to have laid his hands on the ultimate weapon and he is about to bring the war to an end, one way or the other. Seeing this, another god finds it imperative that he acquires an even more powerful weapon and sends one of his loyal soldiers into another dimension to search for it.

You happen to play as this loyal soldier, but things do not go exactly as planned. During your trip between universes, all of your powers are stolen away and you are left a mere mortal that must fend for herself, while still having to search for the weapon. However, over the course of the game, you get to learn a lot about combat, magic and alchemy in order to become just as powerful as you were before and return home in glory.

The trading element comes into play as well, since you can have a difficult time out on the battlefield, if you do not equip yourself and your companions with top-shelf armor, weapons and various other powerful trinkets. You can practically turn into a serious trader in case you really want to, since you can transport goods between cities and turn a good profit by doing so.

GODS: Lands of Infinity comes pretty close to being a successful title, but the story and the general feeling throughout the game are just not doing enough to distinguish it from the rest of the pile. Hence, in case you want to experience a nice universe and listen to a somewhat interesting tale, the game is definitely a good choice, but do not expect any greatness from it.
