What players say
A straightforward DOSBox port of the 1991 god game, good for a nostalgia fix but showing its age. Players consistently warn to turn down the game speed first, and many find the interface clunky. Opinions split on whether it holds up, with some preferring the original Populous. It has performance issues on modern systems and is not compatible with the Steam Deck.
