while messing around on Desura content I found this little game:
http://www.reprisalthegame.com/

which is an enhanced version of this flash game, from the same authors:
http://www.reprisaluniverse.com/site/playreprisal/

it's feels and plays like the old populous games; from the game page:
Created in homage to Populous, Reprisal lets you take control of a tribe, guiding them, building land and making them grow in number. Using special totem powers you can control nature itself unleashing its full fury on anyone that stands in your way. But be warned, other tribes may not take too kindly to your intentions and will put up a fight!

Reprisal's universe currently spans over 30 island campaigns pitting you against 3 other tribes - each with their own aggression  traits, 15 totem powers, 8 full length chip tunes by Eric Skiff and 4 terrain types.


and it looks positively retro:


anyone had a chance to play this little game in it's enhanced edition?

only played the flash version and it was way too easy

[ibot66]

Flash version was easy, but very fun.

[Anvilfolk]

I found it the kind of game that is super repetitive, but hard to put down. It leaves me with a bad taste, like I wasted my time...

[Aklyon]

THe flash version is indeed rather easy.

[Neonivek]

THe flash version is indeed rather easy.

And there is soo many reasons for this.

Though mainly the AI in populous was a lot more aggressive and the playing field was larger.

[Vendayn]

It was pretty easy. But I liked it.

[Neonivek]

Mind you I am one of those few crazy people who actually didn't like the original populous.

At the same time though populous was far from perfect even within its own sphere and Reprisal does absolutely nothing (except smoother effects for some abilities) to improve it. It is like it is a reprisal or something.

It was actually disapointing to me because I can fully imagine loving populous were it not a game of "the most meticulous wins".

I liked the first populous games not for being a game but for being a proper capricious an vengeful god simulator.

Populous III was kinda okey but a completely different game.

I really hated the populous interface. Ok I get it low resources but having those four corners cutted and unused on a 320x200 monitor...

Ehh the first populous game felt more like you were the god of landscape design.

You need carefully crafted slopes for the lava toboga
