I picked this up long ago and I still remember it as one of the funnest games I've played. I view the game as a Magic the Gathering video game that works. I say this as it has five gods with their own pros and cons, with unique spells and elite units, but you as a character have no direct interaction with anything outside of spells and units commanded (i.e. no manaless/melee attack) The game as a lot of replay value as with every level the gods will team up or draw battle lines based off of which you one(s) you've been working for, and are free to choose which one to work for (your next level) and thus customize your spell and unit lists.
