While Odin and Zeus's adherents might reasonably struggle to agree on which deity would win in a fight, it's commonly agreed thatPopulous (http://www.edge-online.com/filter/all/tags/2055) is the true god of god games. Designer and illustrator Jon Caplin is well aware of this, and has created his own offering to Bullfrog's genre-defining 1989 classic in the form of Reprisal.
The browser-based homage is Caplin's first game, but it doesn't show. Its chunky, and fashionable, pixel visuals are augmented with an attractive, tilt-shifted depth of field effect that gives the game a unique look, while the cheerful tutorial leads you through the game's territory-conquering gameplay with easy charm.
