Favor of the Gods has two teams compete, killing foes and collecting items to earn points. Sony never released numbers, but it's fair to assume that even at its peak, the game was never aiming to compete with Call of Duty.īut either the game is very cheap to run the Ascension servers, or a steady stream of people are still purchasing new digital copies of the game, because the multiplayer mode still has a steady-ish player base.īriefly, here's how the multiplayer mode works: You choose a god of Olympus (Ares, Hades, Zeus or Poseidon), customize a champion and jump into one of five modes.

I had intended to play Ascension at some point before the new God of War came out, but then some other games caught my attention.īut with E3 coming up, I figured that God of War would be the topic of the day, and Ascension was the only game I still needed to catch up on. (Incidentally, if you are ever in San Luis Obispo, you've got to check out Cheap Thrills and Captain Nemo, an interconnected record/comic book store that sells everything from Pete Seeger albums to NES games to second-edition Dungeons & Dragons adventures.
I picked up God of War: Ascension about a year ago on a whim while driving down the Pacific Coast Highway in California with my family.
