Description
Includes Populous and the Promised Lands expansion.

Miracles are child's play. Earthquakes are serious fun. The all-powerful can perform miracles in their sleep. But omnipotence isn't what it used to be. These days, it takes awesome natural disasters to dominate a world. You give them good land. You tell them when to farm and when to fight. You make them content beyond their wildest dreams. But then they become raging arsonists. What's a deity to do? Disasters are your divine prerogative - volcanoes, quakes, swamps. For stubborn non-believers, nothing beats a flood for spring cleaning. Cruel ice, lush grassland, parched desert... With 500 worlds, a deity's work is never done.

Populous is the original god-game, a strategy title that lets you shape the isometric isometric world and the fates of its inhabitants. Be sure to check out one of Bullfrog's earliest classics, from the mind of Peter Molyneux!

Historically interesting, but overshadowed by it's sequel

Populous is a historically significant game as it marked the beginning of the rise to prominence experienced by Bullfrog (still one of the most original and successful game companies of all time), and the advent of the god game genre. I owned the sequel to this game, Trials of the Olympian Gods on the Macintosh. I've come back at a later age to look at Populous and don't see much to come back for- everything this game does is done better by it's sequel. For those unfamiliar with the premise, Populous can be a bit strange at first. As a unnamed deity you have a small legion of followers and are tasked with wiping out a group of separate followers worshiping an AI god. Producing settlements by flattening land makes up about 50% of the game, the other half is sent sending indirect orders to your followers to attack your opponent or casting various forms of godly vengeance on them- lighting, volcanoes and the like. The game is fun but it feels a bit shallow. Levels do increase in difficulty, with harder gods, more complicated lands to settle and the like but the formula remains almost identical start to finish. There's not much in the way of visual flair here either- the cartoony graphics are cute but hardly engaging. God powers are a bit limited as well; there is some strategy here, but not much. A lot of my criticisms are probably rose tinting from the sequel Populous II which improves on all these aspects through more varied and tactical powers coupled with a stronger sense of progression and RPG elements. Even then however, the game is still pretty simple and relatively repetitive, so the modern gamer may not find it worth their while. What this game does provide us with is a marked demonstration of the boundless creativity of Bullfrog, later exemplified with Powermonger, Magic Carpet, Dungeon Keeper, Syndicate and many others. Especially when compared with a contemporary offering like From Dust or even Black and White, Populous probably won't stand up- what seems to have made it so successful was the virtue of being a well executed, unique idea. Certainly worth the time to check out.

Where it all started

From the genius of Peter Molyneux, before Powermonger or The Beginning, before it was Black & White or any Fable, before any Magic Carpet roamed the sky and when From Dust wasn't even dust, there was a single true God simulator. Populous was an earth shattering game, so full of innovation that the gameplay sounds quite alien even for today standards. You are able to use your powers to shape the whole world map, help your villagers or punish the infidels. And the idea of making the whole world a page of a book? That's pure art. I'd love to see a Populous compilation in the future, with this one, the second, and PowerMonger as well. And Populous: The Beginning as a stand alone release of course!

Good fun in an original idea

Populous was one of the first games to offer gameplay in which your actions do not directly control the characters; instead, what you do manipulates the environment and give behavioral commands to your people. You have powers you can use to alter the world, which takes mana. Mana is generated by your followers, so you try to grow the population as quickly as possible. Mainly you do this is by removing rocks, raising and lowering land so that your people can settle and multiply. Then, you may have additional powers to use to demolish the enemy: making crusaders, earthquakes, swamps, rocky mountains, or floods. There's enough to do here for a bit of strategic and a lot of tactical variety if you're willing to try different tactics. This shows what gaming was back in the 80s: with more than a dozen competing PC platforms, versions of games were produced for each. This is great, but it was particularly well-done on the Amiga/Atari computers. This is the DOS version, with inferior graphics and no real sound FX. Gone are the fanfares, clanging of swords, or any of the sound you may remember. Instead, this game sometimes has PC speaker bleeps. Had this game included the better sound, it would get a five rating. As it is, I'm playing it, but missing the better sound.

Just a lovely, basic god game

First thing is that you need to play the Amiga version, the DOS box version only has awful bleeps which kills the atmo. The Amiga version has the nice, calming music, the trademark heartbeat and swordsound. This alone gives the game the befitting Godgame atmosphere. I used WinUAE for emulation. You play as the God of the blue pixel people and need to make the land flat in order for them to be able to build a house and give you more followers. The more houses and followers you have the more mana you generate which you'll need to build and gift natural disasters to your (evil ofc) opponent. You can bring righteousness through earthquakes, swamps, vulcanoes and a flood to stop your opponent from getting stronger than you. When you gather your followers to get a strong leader you can convert him to a knight which brings down furious anger on your foes and burns their houses. There are 500 levels with grass, volcanoe, desert and snow surface which changes how fast your people reproduce and how long they can survive without shelter. Depending how much you scored you jump forward several levels and a sort of higher deity (what higher than me?) announces that you've done well and the code which you'll need instead of savegames. Up until 100 the game is easy, in later levels your opponent gets gradually more challenging. There is an expansion for DOS and Amiga called Populous: The Promised Lands with the following world designs: Lego Wild West French Revolution Bit Plains Silly Land I've played Populous 2 and 3 and they are ok but don't have the magic of the original Amiga Populous version.

Just what I've been waiting for

This is the one game I've been waiting for more than anything else on GoG. Played it on an Atari ST when it was fairly new, and also acquired a (since lost) PC copy about 10 years ago and still greatly enjoyed it despite the low resolution. Now just hoping that Populous 2 and Populous: The Beginning aren't too far away.
