About Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising

Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising™ (G&H) is a massively multiplayer online game (MMO) set in the mythical world of ancient Rome. The fledgling Roman Republic (circa 300 BC) has been expanding its territories and growing in power under the auspices of the almighty Olympian gods, but now faces its greatest challenge yet: a powerful and malignant enemy known as the Telchines, once exiled by the thunder god, Jupiter Optimus Maximus, has returned and is seeking vengeance. An ancient race of nefarious sorcerers, the Telchines are bent on nothing less than the total annihilation of Rome. They are using their black magic to sew unrest amongst the peoples subjugated by Rome, and, even worse, they have kidnapped all of Rome’s bravest and most powerful Heroes, leaving the republic drastically unprotected.

After choosing from six character classes and creating their own unique avatar with an extensive selection of customization tools, players will first enter the world of G&H on Telchinos Island. They will have to use their skill and cunning to find their way back to Hesperia Magna ("the great Western land," as the Greeks called the Italian peninsula). Back on the mainland, players will fight their way through the barbaric hordes, wicked enemies, and fantastic mythical creatures who oppose Rome. With command over a staggering array of combat feats, a veritable arsenal of ancient weaponry, a squadron of loyal minions, and several incredible powers granted to them by the gods themselves, players will be well equipped to meet the challenges facing the Roman Republic.

Featuring the most intense, fast-paced, and visceral combat ever seen in an MMO, as well as our revolutionary squad combat system, G&H may be set in the past, but it represents the future of online role-playing games.
