Pleroma is a turn-based god simulation. You are the divine will above a young civilization. Your Paragons, mortal champions with minds of their own, carry it out below. CREATE YOUR PARAGONS Summon up to five Paragons, each with a role and a mandate written in your own words. A warlord told to keep the peace behaves very differently from one told to conquer. ADVANCE THE WORLD Each turn, every Paragon interprets your mandate and acts. Harvests come in, temples rise, rivalries flare, and the world chronicle grows. Every action is generated fresh, so no two runs tell the same story. BALANCE SIX FORCES Food, materials, knowledge, faith, stability, and flourishing all pull against one another. Neglect the harvest and stability falls. Chase knowledge and the faithful drift away. Victory means keeping a civilization alive and thriving. INTERVENE, SPARINGLY Reshape a Paragon's mandate mid-game with a divine intervention. Divine tokens are scarce; spend them at the right moment. COMPETE IN TOURNAMENTS Finish a run and post your score to the daily, weekly, and monthly leaderboards. One world, every player, three ladders. PLAY ANYWHERE Your game saves to the cloud after every turn. Start on your phone, finish on the web at playpleroma.com. Pleroma includes 30 free turns on sign-up. Additional turn packs and an optional subscription are available as in-app purchases.
