What's the gameplay like? Are you building the cities up and have gods on your side to fight other settlements?

I thought of populus for some reason after watching the trailer

I don't know if you have ever played an RTS or Age of Empires, but you build a base, not a city, it's only combat based. So you have a resource collector unit and you collect food, wood, gold, and favor of the gods in various ways. You then use those resources to construct buildings to expand how many units you can build, what types of units you can build, and improvements to units, resource collection and buildings. You then "age up" which is just a different term for moving to the next tier of units, buildings and upgrades with the ultimate goal to defeat your opponent. It is entirely combat focused. You and your opponent are building armies in an attempted to destroy the other's base.

Nice. So a standard RTS like game. Looks like a really good PS portal game

I remember when the OG came out 23 years ago. WOW.

On Xbox or pc bro?

Technically this is a double dip for me as the original pc disc is still in my ps5.

Maybe, although I don't think PS Portal games generally support touchscreen play outside of gestures. So if you use your Portal for kickback play, enjoy! But if precision RTS play is important to you, you're only going to get the console interface experience.

It's the same genre as Populus yes. The basic gameplay is that you use villagers to gather resources and spend then to construct units and buildings, so that you can destroy your opponents units and buildings.

There are 4 (soon 5) civilisations to choose and then many major/minor gods within them that give you powers and affect how you play. The gods themselves don't appear in battles.

I'd highly recommend it to anyone who likes real time strategy.

On PC, still have the disk of the original but hasn't played it in about 18 years.

Great game, but I don't think I could stomach playing this on a controller. This is a straight up PC game.

 

[Hudo]

Awesome game. Second-best thing Ensemble have ever done and one of the GOAT RTS games. I don't know if I would even want to play it with a controller but it's awesome that Playstation people get a chance to play it.

No need. Like the Xbox version, you have the option of plugging in a KB&M to the PS5.
