Review
It doesn’t matter whether you are a pro player or a newbie; the game releases four difficulty levels for all types of players. Before starting the game, you are asked by the game to choose one of four levels from the following: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Impossible. There are lots of achievements available that the game rewards you with as you complete objectives. Build your religion from peaceful monks to warrior-priests. You can ask your creature to sacrifice for you in return for gifts. Experience the Auto Battler Combat The game won’t directly engage you in combat since your followers will fight for you. Although the game supports only Single-player mode, you are supposed to face other religions in the turn-based combat, known as Sacraments. During the battle, you make use of persuasion, flirtation, or forced to take on the false messenger; meanwhile, converting their path using the unique system.
Customization
You are fully allowed to modify your appearance, rename your character, select the color, and more. At the start, there are options to choose from, such as Randomize and Customize. Selecting the randomize means the game will decide your character on its own, and going with customization requires you to make some tweaks following the given possibilities. Before jumping to the main game, you are asked by the game to choose what is right for you from the
following:
- Purity
- War
- Peace
- Greed
- Generosity

- Madness
Afterward, the game will determine the gameplay depending on your selected category. I found the turn-based system quite impressive but straightforward. Your direct involvement in the battle is almost zero, but you reward the warrior who dominates the battle for you with amazing prizes.
Should You Purchase Goodhood to play?
In my opinion, Godhood may worth your time and money. It comes with endless choices and offers you an in-depth customization feature that lets you decide how your character looks like within the game. Apart from that, the combat system is auto-battler and inspired by Teamfight Tactics. Saying that doesn’t mean you are going to experience precisely the same gameplay.
