Rising Star Games today announced Populous DS, a re-imagination of the classic game, set to be released during Q1 2009. Featuring touch-screen controls that utilise the dual-screens, players manipulate five elementally-imbued gods, each with their own unique miracles within an extensive single-player campaign. In the multiplayer wireless mode, up to four players can unleash earthquakes, tidal waves and raging volcanoes onto rival players’ lands. Check the first batch of screenshots from our gallery.
