About Stand Universe:
This is a pretty faithful reproduction of the old school game Populous, with the addition of worlds that brings in a touch of Populous: The Beginning. For new players, this is a God game. You can manipulate the land to allow your autonomous citizens to build bigger houses, generating more mana and allowing bigger God powers, such as fire, lightning and marshes. The general idea is to collect totems containing new powers and to wipe out your opponent! There are plenty of islands to keep you occupied and you are even able to partially amend the way later levels start once you complete them (this affects the islands for everyone as the changes are saved online) You don’t directly control your people. In fact there are only 3 actions they can perform: Settle (where newly ‘born’ people Populous throwback where you oversee a tribe of peoples, and have them expand to be the only tribe left by giving them overarching commands and using miracles. My problem is that the gameplay is pretty simple and so gets repetitive. The commands are settle, conquer, or go to a specific point you mark, and the miracles are terraforming or sending disasters at your enemies for the most part. The gameplay is about expanding as quickly as possible so you can snowball, and preventing your enemies from doing the same. But as I said, the gameplay doesn’t change very much from one map to the next and gets old quickly.
