Quoted from Steam:
"From Dust is the latest original game concept by Eric Chahi, creator of the cult classic, “Another World / Out of this World”. Immerse yourself in a world as exotically beautiful as it is dangerous! You control the destiny of a primitive tribe against the backdrop of a world in constant evolution—a universe where mighty Nature reclaims what is hers; and your mastery of the elements is your people’s only chance of survival..."
Ground-Breaking Technology Play in the sandbox of one of the most advanced real-time nature simulations, where everything you see and interact with evolves dynamically, offering a constantly renewed experience. Unique Art Direction Discover a large variety of environments: Tropical islands, volcanic landscapes, deserts and so much more… Rich Story Mode Explore 13 breathtaking territories of emergent gameplay. Master the natural forces at play on a mysterious archipelago and help a primitive tribe to recover the lost powers of their ancestors. Confront Mighty Nature Protect your tribe against Nature’s most devastating attacks. Face down tsunamis, wildfires, earthquakes, volcanoes, torrential rains… Master Godlike Powers Control the forces of nature to sculpt the world in your image. Hold back lava, stop raging waters, empty lakes, grow forests and raise mountains! Live Up to the Challenge Race against the clock on 30 additional maps in Challenge Mode. Each scenario is a puzzle-like challenge where time is of the essence... Online leaderboards Compare your Challenge Mode scores with the community on worldwide leaderboards.

This is pretty much how populous would be if it were on a next gen system,
Manipulating the elements is great fun too, Just need to wait on the trainer now to see what extra help can be given
But aye i would HIGHLY reccomend this game to anybody who enjoys the "god simulator" type

I've bought it and while good and interesting it suffers from console like controls on PC. Rotating map is rather buggy and more often then not it doesn't work. Had to remap the key (I have Razer Lechis mouse and MMB + up/down works on other games).
The annoying cut scene every time they give you new objective. Go to this village go to that exit...I know stop pushing me.
Otherwise an entertaining game for people with OCD like me who try to cover everything with palms and grass.

I played the game for a bit and i have to say it looks pretty good and is very interesting i just dont like the way it plays/feels when you're moving the mouse... is kinda awkward hopefully they'll polish the game on a patch or something.

For 15 bucks the game was great. Got more play time out it than many of the mainstream titles released recently.
