Today marks the launch of Heatwave Interactive's Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising in North America. The launch for Europe and other nations around the world is scheduled for June 24th. Player characters take on the aspect of a demigod as they travel throughout ancient Roman lands, encountering mythical beasts.
Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising is a full-scale action-adventure MMORPG set amid the familiar landmarks and legendary environments of ancient Rome. Each player's character is a Demigod, a child of both god and mortal, and celebrated Hero who must battle an ancient enemy that has returned to topple the empire and avenge their defeat at the hands of the Olympian gods. Unique gameplay features include:
Squad-Based Minion System - Players create, customize and command a squad of minions that level up with them in combat. As players advance through the game, they recruit from over 130 unique minions, each with specific roles and powerful abilities.
Massive Estate System - Unlike any MMO housing system, players are given a huge tract of land to build upon. They must rebuild the structures destroyed by the Telchinist Cultists to recruit and upgrade their army of minions. Only then can a player become powerful enough to hunt down and defeat the evil Telchinists and regain their honor.
Tandem Combat Action - Wield an arsenal of weapons and the powers of the gods themselves to perform combat moves which can be linked together, including dramatic finishing moves for intense battle sequences.

so if this game actually came out when it was supposed to it would technically be the first game to bring companions to the MMO genre.. and not SWTOR.

Guild Wars did this many years ago. So no it wouldn't, but still a good game.
It's kind of a toss up there, had perpetual not cost the game in delays and such for their want to launch a star trek mmo then G&H rome rising would have launched in 06 right along side nightfall. Which was the first GW to have true companion heroes and not henchmen. Still none of them, not even GW has gone as in depth with the companion system as ToR claims it will.
Too bad this game lacks sooo much content... fast money grab= active!
it does,nt lack as much as you think..there are loads of quests and stuff to do.the new content is days away..not to mention just as an idea of how many quests are available..it took me 140 quests to reach lvl 13-14,not sure about the maths but it will be well over 1200 to get to 30..and then the 10 lvl add on even more quests,then another 10 lvls after that as well,takin max lvl to 50.+pvp +estate system+all the minions you want to collect en-route.
Umm SWTOR still isn't out, so currently its not the first to have anything....
I thought PVP and crafting wont be in at release? If so, makes me wonder why the rush to release now.
I Have joined the the beta of this game some month's ago and i played it for 2 hour's! and then i said my self! This game have a potential to be a free mmo with a scenario at rome empire But everything else is SHIT! combat system/graphics Everything! is not even worth my time to watch theyre Movie look like trailer that show you smt Good but have nothing to do with this game!
