The game has no sound effects or music, limited animations that are easily broken, and there’s no real depth to it. It’s just waves of the same enemy attacking Kratos over and over as he flails about, killing them and earning a point for each one vanquished. Nearly everything in the game looks to be an asset ripped from somewhere else, including the enemies, which seem to be a monster from a Resident Evil game. Also, the title screen for the game has a different name, “God of Warning.”
Here’s the description of the game from its actual store page, which looks worryingly identical to any other game on the Xbox store:
War Gods Zeus of Child is a great war game. Destroy all enemies and creatures with the Zeus War Gods of challange [sic]. Kill them all with your gun. Launch attacks with various combos. Reach the highest monster kills without dying. Feel the power of the warning god.

Ergonomic premium quality Vertagear has a number of gaming chairs on sale right now. One in particular that caught our eye is the PL4500 which is embroidered with Swarovski crystals down to $500. You can also get one of their RGB kits to add a set of lights to either the top cutout sections around the headrest or a bottom LED kit for $200 to light up underneath like your chair is in Need for Speed: Underground 2.
Kotaku contacted Microsoft about this clear knock-off and asked the company how it prevents these types of games from appearing in the store.
It appears this game, which was made in Unity and released on July 26, is part of the Xbox Creators Program. The idea is to let smaller teams and solo devs use their consoles as dev equipment, making it easier for people to make games and sell them across Xbox and PC. In theory, this is a cool idea that reminds me a lot of the Xbox Indie program from the 360 era.
But it also has the potential to be abused by naughty devs looking to flip a few assets to make a quick buck, especially if the vetting of games isn’t thorough enough. And while this God of War clone is more a terrible joke than a big problem, I’d be nervous about what else is being allowed to slide onto the Xbox store with what appears to be little oversight.
