Game setting and mechanics

Zeus is set in a mythical version of ancient Greece and features many of the gods from the Greek pantheon and legendary monsters from ancient Greek mythology. The game chooses not to accurately portray the historical setting in which it is based, choosing instead to include elements based on mythology and anachronisms.

The player is in charge of building up and governing a city state which requires managing infrastructure, farming, industries, commerce, religion, entertainment and education, as well as wars with rival cities. Monsters from Greek mythology feature in the form of natural disasters which must be managed by the player, typically by hiring the correct hero. Sufficiently worshipping the Greek gods will cause them to bestow blessings on the player's city which provide a material benefit.

The game features 2d graphics and offers an isometric view of the game world. A side panel and a number of menus allow the player to more easily navigate the map and to micro-manage various aspects of government, such as tax rates and wages.
