\n\n本遊戲的獨特之處在於它著重於道德上的二元性,以及神聖選擇所帶來的直接、可見的後果。與傳統的策略遊戲不同,遊戲的成功不僅以征服來衡量,更以您所培養的世界的精神和物理狀態來衡量。神祇、生物化身與崇拜人口之間的關係,構成了一個複雜且相互關聯的系統。
\n\n敘事始於玩家因一個絕望家庭的祈禱而被召喚出來。在拯救他們之後,玩家被引入了與尋求透過強大能量來源「信條 (Creed)」消滅所有其他神祇的至高神祇 Nemesis 的衝突之中。故事情節在多個島嶼上展開,涉及結盟、背叛,以及收集對抗主要反派所需的信條碎片。
\n\n遊戲的進程涉及在不同領域間穿梭,透過完成任務和擊敗守護者來獲取信條的各個部分。玩家的生物化身在旅途中會面臨威脅,有時會被敵對勢力囚禁,需要玩家施展神力將其解救。
\n\n此主要遊戲體驗在最初發行後,還獲得了一個擴充內容 (Expansion Pack) 的支援,為遊戲世界增加了額外的內容深度。

Black & White is a critically acclaimed strategy game designed by Peter Molyneux and developed by his then-new company, Lionhead Studios. Though released on PC, a port was planned for the Sega Dreamcast, but was canceled (along with a port to the PlayStation). It is assumed that had it been released, publishing would have been handled by Sega. Unlike many canceled Dreamcast games, Black & White was heavily advertised, appearing at E3 2000 and as a video in Dream On Collection 4. A number of screenshots of the Dreamcast version were distributed by Sega Europe around this period, which suggest that the game would have taken a slight graphical hit if released on the system. According to Peter Molyneux, the Dreamcast would have been VMU support, where players could upload their creatures and have them fight others. It would have also featured online multiplayer. Black & White was originally due to appear in late 2000 before being pushed back to "the first half" of 2001. It missed this deadline and did not appear at E3 2001, with rumours stating that Sega had scrapped the project following their decision to leave the hardware business. The PC version was released in March 2001.

Black & White: Creature Isle is an expansion pack for the PC game Black & White by Lionhead Studios. It was released for Mac OS X in December 2002.
