Populous, Black & White meet Lemmings all bound together in a Godlike nature physics puzzle challenge.
This is like a mix between Lemmings, Populous, Black & White although this game does not involve attacking others but rather saving your people from natural disaster.
The physics in-game are incredibly realistic and so far this is the kind of thing I wanted Peter Molunieux to start working on in a new Populous series involving these natural Physics.
The controls are a bit awkward at first and U need practice & patience to control the mouse pointer's BREATH, which is your Godly hand.
I wonder all in all what has kept Peter from creating a new Populous (although he seems to be working on a 256 multi-player version of and older populous), seeing how From Dust takes its core game-play from the series mixed with the a to z pathway making that Lemmings provide.
I'm puzzled, might he be tired of making the same old games all over once again?
Who knows,
anyway "From Dust" sure has originality and is a kick ass IQ tester on your physical puzzle troubleshooting :)
Kinda like Tomb Raider has been using for a long time, and so does Trine work out on the use of Physics, which is just great to do!
I hope U have lots of fun breaking the levels which seems to go on endlessly in a random factor which steps up the ramp of stress while trying to think in an optional challenge mode.
Story mode is for learning the game and unlocking all challenge secrets.^^
All in all From Dust is a game for the brain-players out there. Don't expect flashy warmongering. This game is mend to be a puzzle game and it does the job out right original and breathtaking as the Tsunamis, Volcano's waste your people's villages. Protect them and U will be their guide to a better world.
