Gods and Heroes

Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising™ is set in the early days of Rome's eventual march to greatness - circa 300 B.C. Rome is a City State still developing its military and cultural strengths and beginning to feel its ambition for expansion and conquest. To fulfill its goals Rome will strive to extend her borders and influence - creating enemies both near and far.

Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising™ offers vast persistent territory and hundreds of dynamically generated areas that span a wide variety of the known and Mythological worlds - offering a huge range of terrain types including cities, towns, farmland, forests, mountains, high-alpine artic regions, marshes, seashores, northern frontiers, islands, and Mythological Realms.

Action Combat System
Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising™ will implement the most visually stunning and visceral combat system of any MMOG. Our Node-Lock™ animation technology allows all characters - human, creature, beast - to execute real attacks and defenses and have them truly impact their opponent physically. As players progress in the game, they will earn and learn new Feats - attacks, defenses, and combat special moves - that come with their own unique animations. Enemies will also have a set of combat special moves that they will execute mercilessly to turn the tide of battle
