SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DeNA, a global leader in developing and publishing mobile games, in collaboration with the 22cans game studio, today announced the launch of Godus on Google Play for Android devices. Godus is a dynamic god game developed by the genre’s creator Peter Molyneux. It puts players in the role of a supreme deity wielding absolute power in determining the fate of its people.
Since the game’s recent launch in August on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, Godus has been nominated for Editor’s Choice and reached number one in 54 countries on the App Store, with users around the world raving about the stunning visuals, immersive audio and innovative game mechanics.
In Godus, players take on the role of an almighty god, where they can use their touch to physically shape, mold and sculpt every inch of the beautiful landscape to create a world unique to them. Here, a population of tiny, adoring Followers will settle, multiply and offer up their belief as they live, learn, and grow in a fully simulated world. Players must nurture the growth of their nascent civilization as it rises from the dawn of the primitive age and advances throughout the ages of humanity. Players can choose to cast miracles of both beauty and destruction, whether by sculpting rivers and growing forests or throwing meteors and spreading fires. It is as simple to play as it is spectacular to behold.
The Android release of Godus incorporates all the exciting elements featured in the latest version of the game for iOS. Now, players will be able to advance their growing civilization into the brand new Frontier Age, where they can look forward to exploring a vast land with all-new challenges, unique surroundings and fresh mysteries to uncover. Coinciding with the game’s debut on Android, players will be able to enjoy innovative social network integration that names their in-game population after their real-life Facebook friends. Additionally, friends can explore each other’s worlds for the first time, as well as being able to compete and compare their progress in weekly events that see their Followers embark on exclusive voyages in the pursuit of rare prizes. Godus’ intuitive controls have also taken a step forward with the new ability to rotate the world and look behind cliffs and mountains.
“Our goal when we set out to create Godus was to provide gamers with a captivating and deep gameplay experience that constantly grows and evolves. We’ve learned an incredible amount in the first three months of the game being available to the world on the App Store. So we are happy to say that the version of Godus today on Android devices and iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is one step closer to fully realizing our vision for the game,” said Peter Molyneux
