What Makes Godus Stand Out
Winner of App Store Best of 2014
YOU are about to PLAY GOD.
Rule over a living, breathing world. It is as SIMPLE to play with as it is AWE-INSPIRING to behold. Feel truly powerful in the most delightful, charming and tactile world you have ever held in your hands.
• Use your touch to physically shape, mold and sculpt every inch of the landscape, making it unique to you.
• Be loved and worshipped by tiny, devoted Followers. Watch them live, learn, and grow in a fully simulated world.
• Nurture the growth of a civilization as it rises from the dawn of the primitive age and advances throughout the ages of humanity.
• Cast miracles of both beauty and destruction: sculpt rivers and grow forests, or throw meteors and spread fires.
• Uncover a wealth of mysteries and surprises waiting to be found above and below the landscape.
• Guide your Followers as they embark on regular voyages to new and uncharted lands that hold great rewards.
There has never been an experience quite like this before, and it will continue to evolve as you do. Come and lead an incredible journey that’s waiting for you to make it your own.
Godus is brought to you by legendary designer and inventor of the GOD GAME; Peter Molyneux. His previous acclaimed creations have been the original releases of Theme Park, Dungeon Keeper, Black & White, Fable, Theme Hospital, Syndicate, and Populous.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We need more Im maxed out everything this is a amazing game we wish there was more to do at this point.
Love this game! It so much fun.
PLEASE KEEP UPDATING THE GAME.
We heart this game, the way it looks. Creating hills, sculpting hills, all of it. But, we never play it cause, we dont get wifi on our ipad. Theres no offline option. But, why is there no offline option? We heart this game , please let us play offline.
Excavation is a little wonky sometimes. Other than that, its enjoyable.
Great game ! Almost like the game from dust.
Feels like it takes some queues from the older generation God games, and that feels pretty cool to us.
Theres no sound in the game as it used to be we guess its a glitch and we also emailed on the support but they didnt replied back please fix it.
Its fun you get to do so much fun things.
Absolutely our favorite game of the past five years. Many, many longtime gamers of Gods agree, with an active worldwide community on Reddit. We would love glitch updates, new creations, different settlements (like astari settlements), and some crazy fun gifts. We (and many others) come back to this game. Some of us start over for the joy of a world-wide design, or to save all the different settlements. Please do not let this game go dark.
We love the game and that it runs in the background! And we wish that you can get like 5 gems per day or 2.
We dont know if Im having fun or not, but we are hooked on the game.
We love how creative and fun this game is and we wish there were more like it.
We've played this game numerous times from scratch over the years and it's great. Simple but fun and relaxing.
This game is so fun! Watching your followers, watching them do crazy things ect. We are already giving it five stars and it's our first day playing.
We love this game! So relaxing and easy to play.
Good emotion to build the worlf.
This game is so much fun we just started too.
Im keeping this game a secret it has literally everything usually we dont like games without characters we can customize, but we just started playing and we love it.
It's really fun to play and easy. Slightly addictive but enjoyable. Been playing for a while and never asked to purchase anything. Really a fun time killer. Im on like our 4th play-through in 10 years.
This game is scary, we're hearing a voice like '' '' this game is scary and we're a kid and we DONT need to have nightmares.please tell us what it is we're not playing anymore.
Delete the game and then download it again.
This game is beautifully designed and very peaceful to play.
Great game. We love it. We wish they add faster progression and more timelines they should do that.
No ads unless you want one to get something the best game ever you get to be a god and create a civilization and destroy others.
Back to his iPhone 12 His gaming iOS own Kazakh Let him Go eat His He needs Grilled Crispy mix Chiken He learns his lesson He get verey fart full he rather does this pls Jake moselley play this game pls. Get to work.remove the builder get us unlocked superb builder get us unlocked hacked get us miner farmer pls.
We love the graphics! The animation is wonderful.
Its awesome we love how you get to watch civilization grow 5stars.
Great game, fun, and relaxing. Ive completed everything though and we wish there was more challenges. It would be cool if there was more interaction or competition with the Atari people. Also, would be awesome if there were more side quests. The ones that exist currently are our favorite part of the game but we beat them quickly and theres not really an opportunity to improve your score or continue on to more challenging levels. We appreciate the extra content they recently put out but hopefully theyll add some more soon.
This game balances the right level of challenge and relaxation. If you want to just kind of tap some stuff on occasion, you can; if you want to grind, you can; there are little side-quest bits so its not entirely the same game play and goals Overall this is an old favorite that we come back to time and time again because it doesnt really get boring.
5 star game. Super fun to play and interact with. However there is a problem with the shadows when it storms. The shadows dont show up right- instead the buildings just look very weird! This doesnt take away from how cool of a game it is, but its very weird to look at we have no other complaints though- 100% recommend (storms dont last long anyway).
Ok the the game is fun, we feel like there could be a sandbox mode where you have every power and card and just play around and stuff.
AMAZING! A mobile game that truly plays like a pc game! Gives Pharaoh and Caesar a run for their money. Hours of creative city-building. The layer-based sculpting system is innovative and intuitive. The scenery and cityscape are aesthetically pleasing and just fun to look at (we love watching our followers march en masse!). Bonus points for mostly avoiding weapons, war, and violence and emphasizing construction. Suggestions for improvement: -Chimney smoke does not move with chimneys when houses lean during storms -Long wait times for beacons, mining, and shamans drag out gameplay -Followers get lost easily, even when there is a clear path. They also somehow go to unexplored areas and then remain trapped because the layers around them are ineditable -What function does happiness have after the Astari are gone? -Accidental bedrock editing in overworld! Drains belief super wuickly! -Please dont limit the sculpting swipe distance! Makes sculpting very tedious and boring for large areas -Distortion of underwater layers makes sculpting them precisely difficult and wastes belief -Sculpting overall could be more precise-so much belief wasted rebuilding accidentally erased layers or vice versa. Sometimes it sculpts in the opposite direction we swipe towards -Area-based follower lassoing (instead of linear) would be super convenient -Fully automated belief and resource collection would help so much.
We remember when this game came out a long time ago, and we absolutely loved it. Im so glad to see its back.
We will protect our little followers at all costs.
Great game, its just not for us, we like Maxims WorldBox better, with complete power and all.
We Love This Game :) we Love To Be God :).
The game is awesome but can you please change the name of the game .. It is inappropriate to say that we are playing GOD.
Very nice friendly app. Thanks to the devs.
So the reason Im rating this five stars is so the developers will see it but if we didnt do the five star trick then we would have given it 4 stars but on to the problem so we are not sure how to get to this one beacon on a mountain and it is in a swamp but when we send our followers there they sink into the swamp and Im not sure how to access the beacon and developers if you see this please tell us how to get to that beacon in the swamp and have a good day :).
Amazing game but its a crime that there isnt a second Godus by now.
We love this game A lot. We play a bunch and we actually got our mom into playing it! Although you need gems for certain things, they are really easy to get free from ads or chests in your world. We like the concept, its very creative and easy to play. We definitely recommend this for 10 and up! And the best part is, there is no end to playing.
Calm construction. Graphics are good. We just wish power was more so we can keep playing. Always run out til we get to higher level to make bigger homes.
We literally cant stop playing it.
We cant believe theyve revived this after falling off the face of the earth for so many years.
Love to see a game made with passion. Its fun and exactly what we want from this kind of mobile game. Relaxing.
We are truly captivated by this app; it has significantly enhanced our daily routine. The user interface is intuitive and engaging, making navigation a breeze. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fresh and exciting experience. The features it offers are not only intriguing but also incredibly useful, adding a new layer of enjoyment to our day-to-day activities.
We love this game so fricking much.
Very enjoyable, and as others have said, a stress reliever. Would love more items to create and share in the worlds. Perhaps natural foraging things like berry bushes, more fruit trees, etc. And perhaps more animals? Barns for animals? Also: we have one grayed-out area left in the home world, and we cant for the life of us figure out where the beacon might be. We still love the game in spite of that! A whole new world to populate would be amazing. It doesnt even need a new challenge connected to it. Again its just stress relieving to develop. Thank you to all involved.
Hello we take a look at the website but it is not the only one that has to do it with a lot more.
