This game has three great elements to play this game for. The first is graphics. Especially when you consider the release date of Gods for this console (and it came out on others), it is excellent. The second is the music, which very accurately emphasizes the action of the game. Well, and the third, the most important - the gameplay. Believe me, there has never been anything like this on Sega Genesis! The guys from Bitmap Brothers successfully diluted the boring elements of the platformer with dynamic action. Playing as a guy in an iron mask who needs to get through the labyrinths of an ancient castle and crowds of monsters is simply exciting from the first minute.
