Gods and Heroes is a new pay to play MMORPG from Perpetual Entertainment that is set in a world of Roman Mythology. You create your Demigod (A child of both a god and mortal) from a selection of 4 classes including Gladiator, Priest, Mystic and Soldier, once you've chosen your class you get to choose which Roman deity you will pledge your allegiance to which will have an affect on the abilities and minions you gain access to as you level.

One of the most appealing aspects of Gods and Heroes is the pet system dubbed "Minions". Minions feature similar to pets in other MMORPG titles however the system allows for a lot more variations than is usually possible. You can collect Minions in a variety of ways, you can be rewarded one for completing a quest, collect one as a loot drop or even beat one into submission to join your team. At the start of your journey you are able to control 1 Minion at a time however as you progress through the game you will eventually be able to have a full squad of 4 Minions. Each Minion follows a specific archetype, healers, range, DPS, etc. You can control the abilities of your companion, directing them to heal a certain ally, perform a certain ability or you can give them free choice and the advanced A.I system will control your pet for you.

Estates are also an intuitive feature, similar to housing systems used in other top titles but on a much larger scale. Although at the moment some of the features are restricted, they eventually hope to allow you to build a house, plant and harvest crops or design and create new weapons and armor for your character. It's more like a small valley than just a small housing plot so Perpetual Entertainment obviously have plans for expanding this feature as the area really is huge compared to normal player housing zones.

The game offers a 3 day free trial but is usually $9.99 a month with the boxed retail version costing $29.99.
