The Mims Beginning

The Mims Beginning

Game • 2016

Experience the mysterious and mystical by taking on a journey with Mims in this strategic god-like game. Create structures, plant vegetation, breed animals, take care of your minions, use divine PSI powers, triumph in face of natural disasters, fight monsters, predict the future, and so much more....it looks like a fairly deep, personality rich god game revival. Given that good god games are in woefully short supply these days, we should probably count our blessings here.

Ages 10+, but every child is different

The game requires complex strategic planning, resource management, and long-term foresight that may prove frustrating for younger children. Its god-game mechanics involve managing life, death, and natural disasters, which requires a level of emotional maturity to handle the consequences of gameplay decisions.
