you'd get this game
basicaly you have controls of four giants,and each giants has the power to shape the earth in some manner,you get a giant crab who creates ocean,a treefolk who create forest,a golem who creates mountain (and deserts) and a swamp thingie who creates... well swamp,each of these guys also has smaller power which let them shape the earth in other manner,for example the giant crab can create animals,the treefolk giant create plants and the golem giant create minerals,these create resource which attract humans who in turn create settlements,each of these resource has a gimmick which gives you more resource when certain condition are fulfilled (for example chickens give a pretty lame amount of food but if you feed them with berries they are suddenly awesome) to top it all each items has an evolutive line which force co-operation between giants (for example the treefolk giants plant some berries and the giant crab use his water power to improve them into strawberries) and each evolutive line has different bonus condition which makes the game complicated enough that i feel like i have to keep notes
as each village progress they start inventing new building which gives a HUGE boost to your resource but requires a certain amount of resource themself before they can be build (for example the first building a forest village usualy create is a windmill which gives a huge boost to food but only if you gathered enough food) when you also build one of these thing you also get an ambassador which unlock new abilities for your giants,if a villag gathers too much resource and grows too quickly they become corrupted by greed and start attacking other nearby village,but you can try to scare them into not going to war by putting rattlesnake and tigers near them
i tried to separate two village by putting an ocean between them but apparently they just build boats and go to war anyway
so i just put the rock golem to smash any impending army between the two
the game has no actual objective but as you play there are achievements (the first 3 are for example to grow a small village of each kind... forest,desert and swamp) and each achievement you get unlock a new kind of plant of animal for you to use,the graphics are super charming,it's awesome seeing the villagers dicking around or seeing the ambassador as tiny specks on top of your giant,give this a try?
