For their heresy, the old testament states that the ancient builders of the tower of Babel were miraculously given different languages, and lost the single tongue they once spoke in unison to destroy their deity, and soon left, unable to communicate. But were you or I that almighty, perhaps we would do things differently. Perhaps we would let loose our wrath on the foolish mortals, and remove them from existence entirely.
It may be the way of video games today, which call for blood at every turn, but in this case it may not be too far from the truth. The gods of other religions regularly killed not only those who opposed or blasphemed them, but even at times their most faithful followers. So, why not?
Babel Rising is exactly this tale. The tower of Babel is being built, and players act as the all-seeing, all-powerful force they seek to destroy. Of course, you aren’t all-powerful or all-seeing, and there are many hundreds and thousands of individuals searching to destroy you. Instead, players are given seven powers to eliminate the heretics, who attack in unrelenting hordes of stone-carrying artisans. These powers vary based on the game mode played, but include such famous plagues as fiery hail, lightning, massive wind, waves, and destroying a level of the tower.
