Populous for Nintendo DS by Xseed Games

A completely re-imagined remake of the Populous PC classic from Electronic Arts that launched the god-sim genre Populous DS brings the power of the gods into the palm of the players hands. The unique features of the Nintendo DS improve upon the original with touch-screen controls dual-screen layout and wireless versus play with up to four players. The gameplay is fresh for returning players as multiple gods each with their own unique miracles have been added. All new play modes and areas appear along with favorite classic maps from previous editions of Populous. In the beginning there was nothing but a void and from the void five gods created the world each exercising their great power to shape the world with five different but brilliant colors. Earth created the basis for all things; Water soothed it; Fire imbrued it with vitality; Wind breathed into it freedom; Harvest provided it with nourishment. Fish beasts and finally beings called man came into existence. The power of the gods brought harmony among all living things and the world gave way to an age of glory. However prosperity created darkness in the hearts of man and from that darkness demons were birthed. The demons controlled the same five elements as the gods and rose against them. A chaotic battle for the world had begun. Thus opened the gates of an age of darkness where man trembles in fear helpless as the awesome powers rage around them. It marked the beginning of a long-lasting age that would test their faith between the gods and the demons.
