"This breakthrough game for the now legendary Bullfrog Productions (Syndicate, Magic Carpet) single-handedly invented the God Game genre way back in 1989, and it's still one of the best. Simply put, you act as the hand of God to direct the little people in your race against your opponent evil deity across a series of isometric battlegrounds. As you instruct your little people to build, fight, and conquer, you can toss around some suitalbe God-like effects such as earthquakes, floods, and volcanoes. It's a perfect example of the innovation and originality of Bullfrog's approach to gaming." - PC Gamer US
