Battles are automatic: players choose army compositions, then watch those plans play out.
What is Godking: Master of Rituals?
Godking: Master of Rituals is a fantasy 4X strategy game about choosing a faction and an incarnation, building an empire, and fighting rival factions.
It offers eight playable factions, each with distinct units, spells, and mechanics, and ten incarnations with different passive abilities, combat statistics, spells, and strategies.
