Great Game
Great Game, except it regularly crashes and that makes it difficult to enjoy.
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!

Quasi populous
J’ai beau chercher sur le store, il ne manque pas grand chose pour approcher de l’expérience parfaite. Mon pouce droit ne me remercie d’ailleurs pas.
Est-il possible à ce sujet d’envisager une maniabilité à deux doigts sur iPad ? Pouce gauche maintenu, on creuse. Pouce droite, click pour action et glisser pour continuer de creuser.
Peut-être d’autres pouvoirs ?
Encore merci pour l’expérience.

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.
Needs more!
Add sink holes or landslides!
Create a modern militaristic version also. Add nukes, missiles, land mines and all that kinda stuff.
Then would be a 5 star game.

Please read
I wish I could give this game 5 stars. It is nostalgic of the first populous. However, the controls are not how I would like them. I would like to drag around the screen to add more land versus tapping, and please add Demi gods. Nice start!
Fun game, needs more levels.
I love this Populous-style game. Though you run through the levels pretty quickly. There should be another set of levels called "extremely hard" since the "very hard" levels aren't all that hard.
I wish you could create your own levels and could share created levels, but that'd be a big investment of the developer's time.

Love it

What?!
This game has horrifyingly bad graphics and lacks any point whatsoever. Honestly, I want my money back. It's not fun. I just flatten the ground? THAT'S all I do? What?!
Good game, not yet great
This is a fun, good game with a lot of potential if the developer keeps polishing it. It has good bones but lacks sparkle.
The core mechanic of raining down horrors on your enemies and prospering your tribe works very well. The graphics are so-so but they communicate what's happening. The controls are mostly natural.
The "tutorial" levels are chaotic and undifferentiated. It would have been far better to start with colors isolated on their own islands to give new players a chance to experiment safely. The free-for-all chaos at the start of a level makes for more intense gameplay, but you'd expect the "very easy" levels to hold your hand a bit more. The difference between "very easy" and "hard" is subtle, not pronounced (more active enemy AI, I think?)
One frustrating problem that bites you repeatedly is that you can't scroll beyond the level boundaries. When you're trying to flatten land on the edge of the map, frequently the bottom edge, you end up with accidental volcanoes instead, because the buttons are in the way.
It would help a lot if landscape changes could be animated somehow. It's tricky to see what you're doing, and a bit of visual feedback for shaping the ground would help.
I've spent a few hours playing this, and will likely spend more. I hope it keeps being upgraded!

Enjoyable strategy game
Excellent game fans of old school strategy games such as populous and powermonger. Only minor gripe is that you the soldiers can wander aimlessly, but still very good. Lots of strategy (and a bit of luck) required to win the more difficult levels.
Tribes broken
Cannot launch games on 6S.
