Electronic Theatre offers an analysis of Rising Star Games European release of the NintendoDS exclusive remake of Bullfrog classic Populous, Populous DS.

Twenty years is no short amount of time, and Populous DS demonstrates this aptly. The gameplay now seems very basic, if still encouraging. Playing as one of five Gods (or Demons), the player must create flatland by dragging up-or-down a simplified grid-based view of the area on the Touch Screen in order to allow their Worshippers to build Houses. Bigger Houses will be built on larger areas of flatland, allowing for more Worshippers, and while inside Houses Worshippers will build Psyche Energy, which allows a player to perform Miracles.
