Reprisal -- of Populous

It's totally indie, it's totally wonderful, it's totally pixellated, it's totally (http://www.reprisaluniverse.com/site/playreprisal/) free.

The (http://ericskiff.com/music/) music is what keeps me coming back. Especially "Come and Find Me" -- it's so sad-sounding! And sad chiptune is the best chiptune.

Not bad at all. I made it to the 18th level. Never could beat the original Populous or Populous 2 either. Good fun regardless.

I'd be much more interested in an indie version of (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powermonger) Powermonger, which I always preferred to Populous (and which they reused a lot of the Populous engine for) but it's very nice nonetheless.

I loved Powermonger even though i never fully understood it. :)

Yeah, I love these tunes. :thumb:

The game's a great nostalgia fix, too... I remember playing Populous II and Syndicate non-stop, and this harkens back to those days. Fantastic find!
