Read full description

In the distant reaches of the universe, there exists an empire ruled by gods. These deities possess immense power, and their struggles have defined the empire. In a bid for control, the Lord of Chaos has invited in forbidden forces, sparking a divine war, and ripping open a portal to other dimensions. The power of this portal has drawn in heroes from the multiverse possessing a wide range of unique abilities, from advanced technology, to mutants and meta powers from alternate worlds. It wasn't just heroes that were drawn to the power of the portal; something else, something primordeal, snuck in with them, and it is affecting everyone - mortals and gods alike. Those infected by this evil gradually degrade and mutate into zombies, losing all of their original consciousness and form. As the number of infected grows, the zombie legions have expanded dramatically, shattering the empire and occupying huge swathes of formerly imperial territory. Hope is fading fast, but it is always darkest just before the dawn. An ordinary human, a mortal, has somehow gained the ability to summon gods and superheroes, and now embarks on a mission to save their homeland and reclaim the empire. Simulation Management: Collect Resources: Gather raw materials by chopping trees and harvesting wheat, then process them into planks and bread. Building Construction: Use resources to build halls, huts, factories, and military zones, eventually building a city from scratch. Hero Appointment: Assign heroes to tasks, and auto-collect resources. RPG Exploration: Hero Recruitment: Recruit Gods and Superheroes to build your team, fend off zombie attacks, and conquer cities on the world map. Hero Development: Enhance hero abilities, unlock powerful fighting skills, and devise creative combat strategies. Character Customization: Customize character appearances, use a variety of quirky emojis, and outfits with stylish and extravagant gear.
