What players say
Once upon a time, Leonardo da Vinci, Nicola Tesla and Hernando Cortes went for a lunch, and met a lobotomized LLM that kept churning nonsensical quasi-historical stories. They dismantled it and the world was saved.

Surprisingly buggy for a fairly simple game. There are plenty of other HOGs that run better - I suggest skipping this one.
Ehhh... It's not bad? I see other people struggled with bugs... Thankfully I somehow avoided them. Mmm otherwise... Griffin baby was replaced with Nubi, baby Anubis... While he was adorable n all... Why in the hell would a baby, especially THE LORD OF DEATH -> CARE ABOUT CLOTHES?! He... You know what? For the sake of modesty we'll say that he really needed his Egyptian leggings/skirt. The rest... Even more time...
