Great
Fab game but sometimes action takes place offscreen or is blocked by map or control tabs
Good, not great
Fun little game though not much strategy and more trail and error.
Far too intense when starting out, needs far more of an introduction, one rival tribe on the other side of the map and switch off god powers.
Give players a chance to get used to each mechanic rather than throwing us into the deep end, also giving us time to build the land (not just expand) as well as flatten would be great.
Game runs slow when a lot is happening on screen too, so i feel creating a gentle pace will help, harder levels should be smarter a.i. not just rapid paced.
Decent effort though needs more work to make it a worthy successor.

Lovely app - recently started crashing
I’ve enjoyed this game for a while, but lately it’s started to crash.
Landscape mode
Needs landscape mode for iPad

I’m a huge Populous fan, even running it emulators over the years. Currently in hospital and fancied a game that I can just lie back and enjoy playing on my phone (SE 2020). Here’s the problem: You’re one human player against 3 teams running on a ridiculously fast chip. I couldn’t keep up!
Lack of raising land on land is an issue as well. Maybe it is easier to play on a larger screen? Maybe multi touch is possible? But playing with just your thumb whilst flat on your back is rubbish

Excellent touch optimised Populous
Populous was one of my favourite games back in the day, and this is an excellent reimagining if it for a touch interface. Along the way it also manages to eliminate some of the game breaking flaws in the original version. This is a game I keep on finding myself going back to. Also, it’s at an affordable price and with no stupid gems or coins, or pay to win. That’s worth supporting on its own!

Great game: Populus Lite
Populus was a favorite of mine in the old days and this is very similar, if a little simpler. But very much fun! Sean O’Conner makes fantastic games and you should try them
All and support his development efforts.

CPU is unforgiving
Been struggling to win level one on very easy. It’s a lot harder than the original populous because everyone starts randomly on the map, and you have very little control over what your guys do. There is a huge random element to every aspect of the game, especially offensive spells.
The game just isn’t fun.
I played it for about a half hour, then deleted it. Was a waste of two dollars.

Not populous
Really really not what I was hoping when I searched for populous
Still need work to make it playable on Plus
Yep still does not play in landscape mode on the iPhone 7 Plus, this makes the game difficult to play. I would happily give it a five star rating if I can play it on my phone. I remember the old Populous game from my Amiga good days, and jumped at the chance to get this game.
