Contra Deos

Build a camp in Latium. Tame its beasts. Outlast the rival gentes. Then bring down the gods of Rome, one by one.

Contra Deos is an isometric survival RPG. Gather and craft, raise a camp, tame wild beasts that fight and level up beside you, and race the rival clans for the land. When you are strong enough, call down the gods in order: Diana, Neptune, Vulcan, Mars, Pluto, and finally Jupiter.

Features

• Three classes: the Legionary (blades and armour), the Sagittarius (bows and speed) and the Augur (staves, healing and animus), each with four skills.

• Taming: beat a beast below 30% health, then feed it. Tamed beasts earn xp, learn skills and can be ridden.

• Rival clans build bases, grow stronger as gods fall, and can be raided for their wood and stone.

• Six gods to kill, from level 10 to level 50.

• Play solo, or with friends in one shared, persistent world.
