Maybe many of you know about Reprisal, a Populous-like game pixel-art very cool.
You can play a web version for free: http://www.reprisaluniverse.com/site/
And they need votes for being published on gog: http://www.gog.com/en/wishlist/games/reprisal
Whay i put it here? Because THEY want to publish the game here, but need more votes from us... so.. why not take a look at the game (it's playable after all online for free) and consider voting for the enhanced desktop edition? :)

Quite a lot know about it now, since it is part of the latest Indie Royale Fall bundle:

That's why i think many should know about it.... ^_^

oh well. I have it now on Desura (even DRM free, for those who care about that), personally I think GOG should put their efforts elsewhere....

maybe, have you played it? :)

I don't think, that games that have been in one of these bundles should be released here.
And games, that have been in bundles right after release should be completely pulled from the store!

LOL! pulled from the store? why not pull then comercial games on other store bundles as the Squareenix bundled from Amazon? Sorry, sounds silly to me... we have many games here cheaper on other stores... and here they are at 5.99 or 9.99.. ^_^U

God, they managed to take an ugly 23-year old game and make it even uglier. The worst thing is how many people can't tell such incompetence apart from an artistic effort. Oh, and surprise: The prettiest sprites look like they've been ripped from Populous 2 and ugglified in order to fit in with the rest. God, the indie scene sucks.

I wouldn't say that the indie scene sucks (many of my favourite games are indie's), but this game is not really a standard bearer, no, I am sorry to say.

Tried the web version and the gameplay was kinda neat. I might have to check out the Populous games.

Yeah, well, there are indie games that I love and I appreciate the creative freedom the devs have but really, more and more I have the impression that the indiescene is like modern art in general. There's 1001 excuses for lackings which should be inexcusable. Too often a lack of direction, polish or even talent is excused with the low budget, supposedly artistic choices etc. and people who don't buy these excuses are accused of being ignorant or shallow. This encourages devs to ignore some crucial aspects of game development and too often I feel like people are trying to make money of garbage. That sucks.

Bump! because the game deserves it... ^_^

Is there any way in which it is better than populous ?

Try the web version, it is a enhanced populous in almost everythingo. so... yes

no. Populus have better graphics, better gameplay and way much more charm....
