The game chooses not to accurately portray the historical setting in which it is based, choosing instead to include elements based on mythology and anachronisms. Zeus is set in a mythical version of ancient Greece and features many of the gods from the Greek pantheon and legendary monsters from ancient Greek mythology. The game features a number of changes from previous titles in the series, including being set in Ancient Greece as well as changes to certain gameplay mechanics, however it is considered to be in most aspects very similar to its predecessor, Caesar III Like previous titles in the series, Zeus focuses on the building and development of a city in ancient times.
It is considered to be an additional instalment in the City Building series of games. Zeus: Master of Olympus (Zeus) is a single-player strategy game developed by Impressions Games and published by Sierra Entertainment.
