一款十分独特的游戏，操作者扮演的角色是一个部落的守护神，帮助这群智力和体力堪忧的原始人类穿越一个个场景，迎接各种自然力量和能放火/放水/爆炸的奇异植物的考验。每一关，只拥有有限神力的玩家都要指挥和帮助原始人避开各种危险，占领1-4处图腾柱（图腾柱可能有特殊能力），然后再进入神庙，进入下一关。
这款游戏的画面不是很精细，但物理仿真度不错，各种元素相互作用，还是颇有意思，剧情流程没有时间限制，比较休闲，但只有十二个关卡，而且前面几关主要起教学作用，挑战模式有时间限制，更紧张，也更有难度。
整体感觉是一款有趣的游戏，通关后仍意犹未尽。
缺点是有半成品痕迹，难度平平，主线流程很短，几乎无剧情可言，在很多极具开放性的无素的情况下，却没有玩家自己设计关卡的功能。
另外，Uplay的网络情况很成问题，登入时间至少比Steam多出两倍。
