[1998] Populous: The Beginning (9.0)


Populous III also known as Populous: The Beginning takes the classic Populous formula and evolves it into a hybrid of god game and real-time strategy. Unlike its predecessors, you directly control a Shaman leading a tribe, casting powerful spells, conquering enemy clans, and ascending to godhood. With its mix of strategic battles, resource management, and spellcasting, it remains a unique and engaging experience.

While Populous: The Beginning deviates from the traditional god game formula, its unique blend of strategy, spellcasting, and tribal warfare makes it a cult classic worth revisiting.

🟩 Pros:

+ A refreshing mix of god game and RTS mechanics.

+ Challenging campaign with varied mission objectives.


🟥 Cons:

- Multiplayer is difficult to access on modern systems.


🏷️ Score: 9.0/10
