What we have here is best described asMass Effect Lite.
The game plays very much the same as Biowares outing.
You explore towns and other environments, talking with NPCs to find information, and sometimes uncovering side quests.
The conversation system is blatantly ripped straight fromMass Effect, with an identical interface for selecting Jasons response.
Each response is aligned with one of the aforementioned gods.
For example, Aries responses are usually confrontational and bold, while Hermes options are cunning and sneaky.
Theres no good or bad here, though, so choosing responses wont change your alignment.
These deeds can then be dedicated to one of the four gods, giving you aspects.
These are tokens you’re able to use to earn new powers and abilities from the gods.
Each deity specialises in certain, predictable areas.
Each weapon is useful against different enemies.
The addition of god powers like doppelgangers and rage modes adds to the mix.
It can also be a pain to actually target specific enemies when youre being attacked by multiple foes.
You also earn no actual experience, so theres no stats or levels 1, 10, 30 etc.
Jason stays the same throughout the game, save his combat abilities.
Glitches and bugs are a letdown, but are minor enough to warrant a look.
Just dont expect it to rival the likes ofMass EffectorFallout.
