This is one of my all time favorite games! Fast paced and crazy, yet very simple to learn. A great mix of silly and serious, this game has a bit for everyone. It IS a tad on the older side so the graphics are getting dated, but this game will always be great.
O.K., so maybe it’s not the best game around. But it certainly worth the few dollars it costs these days (the intro movie alone’s pretty cool). Become the shaman of your tribe and build, magic and war your tribe unto total dominance. Hey it kept me ocupied, for a hundred hrs or so.
I only have the demo but I`m getting the full version soon. I love using spells with my shaman. The game is based on a tribe having to defeat other tribes in other worlds. I love making fire warriors and regular warriors as well. I like the earthquake spell and the tornadoe. I gave tis game 5 stars and thats just the demo!
Though this game was released in 1998, it still is one of the most entertaining and addictive war games I have ever had the pleasure of playing. In my search to find it again after my parents sold it some years ago, I felt frustrated that I couldn’t find it anywhere. Thanks to online buying, I found it again. And wow, after playing it again, I’ve realized just how much I missed it!As soon as my package arrived with my brand new Populous: The Beginning, I opened it and let the old memories come flooding back. Even though this is an older game, the graphics are still a joy to watch. The opening scene as the Shamon foresees the wars ahead sets the mood perfectly. It’s a battle to survive as you play the Shamon on her quest to destroy the other tribes before they do the same.Learn new spells, perfect your battle strategies, and create a great civilization as you conquer the many worlds and their unique obstacles. Even when completed, the replay value is incredibly high. One time through just isn’t enough.
I must admit… Playing this game as a kid was an amazing amount of fun. No that I’m an adult… it really hasn’t changed that much. Game play is smooth and creative. You’ll spend hours building up your village and tech tree. Graphics are decent considering how old this game is… and the unprecedented camera controls make viewing the world a snap.I only have two bits of beef with this game. One is everything is control with the left and right mouse buttons, there are no real hot keys to speak of this makes managing large groups of warriors a major pain. Second, there is no real strategy in battle besides using spells. The clumsy AIs and fight engine means whoever has the most units will probably win the battle. Be prepared to build lots of huts.Other than that, this is a really fun game. I recommend it to anyone who is tired of the complete lack of diversity in modern strategy and war games. I’d really like to see Populous: The Beginning brought into the 21st century with new graphics and refined AI and hot keys. But since I haven’t seen anything out of Bullfrog… its doubtful.
This is an incredible game. When I first got it in 1999, I was immediately hooked. The ability to command your little people to war, to worship the giant stone heads continually nodding gives an incredible feeling. The worlds are formed nicely, allowing you to view the entire planet. The range of spells is vast and extraordinary. Ranging from a tiny Blast to keep the people off of your shaman, to the land splitting Earthquake, or to the devilish Angel of Death, and the mighty Volcano. This game is a must have. I started playing it online two years ago, and I still do.
Excellent game. One of my favourites.
You are the shaman the leader of a primitive tribe, if you are to realise your dream of becoming a god, you must defeat your foes and conquer all 25 worlds in the solar system. To conquer the worlds you must use your minions, spells and houses. You could send a few fire warriors by boat for a devastating sea attack or send spies to burn their houses or say what the heck and use the volcano and wipe out their whole tribe. Build huge cities complete with civilian houses boat shacks, churches, spy huts, guard posts and many more. Have faith in the elements as you use 26 unique spells like the Tornado, Earthquake, lighting and Meteor shower spells. Then send your braves, warriors, fire warriors, priests and spies into battle against the enemy.I must say that Populous is the best computer game I have ever played. With 25 highly detailed 3D levels you will find yourself playing until late at night. You can have your attacks as basic as you want to as complex as you want. The really good thing with this game is that not only do you have the normal close up view but you can have a view from outer space which is excellent when you want access your options before going into battle. Even though I haven’t yet done it, you can your play friends or strangers over the Internet. I feel if you want to get the most out of populous you must have "direct 3D rendered" it just makes the game 3D accelerated and the landscape is more detailed and as just more c.
I love this game. The graphics are beautiful, you can rotate the whole globe, and watch the mountains move below you. Watch the detailed sky, with clouds moving on in the wind. The gameplay is easy to learn, and there is a built-in tutorial section which teaches you the basics: casting spell, training warriors, building huts, and fighting the opponent. True, there are only five types of military units in this game, which you might not like after playing a game like Age of Kings for example, but the fighting looks great! And of course, the spells. Only your shaman can cast these powerful spells, so you must guard her with your troops. These spells include drastically changing the terrain, again with beutiful graphics while doing this. There are also attack spells, like lightning, which you can use tokill the enemy shaman or units. There are many more spells, which are very fun to try out. The whole game, in single-player mode, is your journey through different planets to gain control of a galaxy and become… a god! The levels get harder and harder, while giving you new spell to use, and step-by-step introducing the aspects of the game. The computer AI is smart enough in this game to give you a challange, which cant be said for all strategy games. Also, there is a multiplayer mode, where you can play with a friend on two computers (too bad it requires 2 CD’s), or you can also play on the internet against other gamers! Summary: if you like a cool strategy game.
I believe they call it the "god-game" genre. You control a Shaman and the villagers to finish goals for the level.
