Those of you who have been in this video game for a long time, and I mean decades, you will remember Populous, a game that came out for PC and that was developed by Bullfrog in 1989 thanks to Peter Molyneux, one of the geniuses of video games. This was the first god simulation video game and in which as a player we assumed the role of a deity to lead his people with divine interventions with the aim of destroying the faithful of other gods.
Godus, created by Peter Molyneux himself from Populous, follows the premise by putting in the first person what it must feel like to be a god imposing our divine will and that it will help our people follow the guidelines that we indicate to them. We will be able to model, shape and sculpt every inch of terrain, reminding us a bit of Minecraft in this sense, and we will need the love and adoration of the small and devoted followers who will kneel before us praying and asking our homage. does Godus propose? Well, let's move on.
Acting with good deeds
Godus proposes something different from what has been seen lately on Android and this is its great feature compared to other games that try to approach it, although things are quite difficult for them. Apart from the idea itself, Godus has very good graphics, a quite successful and original way of sculpting the terrain, and a proposal as a simulation of a god perfectly recreated and that will hook you at first, since Who does not have in their inner hearts the desire to be adored?
Guide a civilization from its dawn to progress through different eras of humanity It is not an easy thing and Godus wants this to be so and of course he succeeds. From the moment we start the game we will have to open the way for our partner (Adam and Eve?) So that, like Moses, we separate the waters and cross rivers. The moment they find an area to find food, they will settle down to begin the evolution of civilization.
A good god
Being a good god, that is our intention in Godus to work miracles that fill the world with beauty, or why not, destruction by throwing meteorites and causing earthquakes instead of creating forests and rivers. Something gives me that you will enjoy more when you destroy the environment with those demon meteorites.
One of the missions of being god will be may our devotees love and adore us even more, to observe how they live and progress in a completely simulated world. You will already know that sometimes, by instilling terror, a people becomes submissive and worships more of their almighty god who watches over them.
An original and fun proposal
Godus will hook you quickly since it has all the necessary and quality elements for it. The only thing that remains to be seen is the impact that in-app purchases will produce, one of the most difficult facets to balance in a game of this style since it can mean between resounding success or the greatest of failures. Anyway Godus has all the ballots to become a great game and more if by whatever reason you know who is behind, since we have peter molyneux creator among others of Populous, Dungeon Keeper and Black & White. Good quality.
You got it for free in the Play Store with the freemium model waiting for it to be installed and you can know in your own skin what it feels like to be God.
