Reus to RTS by Abbey Games. Players take on the role of a deity, which must take care of their followers. The authors bet on unusual two-dimensional gameplay mechanisms. On the map you can still see the divine giant, which can only move to the left or right side of the screen.

Reus is a god game in which you take control of nature through the hands of mighty giants. You possess all imaginable powers over nature. Among them terraforming, creation of life, control of weather and genetic manipulation. There is only one thing on the planet that you do not control: mankind, with all their virtues and and all their vices. You can shape their world, but not their will. It’s your responsibility to maintain a balance in which man is not overpowered by nature, and nature does not fall to man’s greed.

Features:

Unique god game gameplay with several ancient giants at your command.

An interesting 2D art style from a perspective rarely found in god games.

Dynamic and immersive audio effects.

A powerful soundtrack that fits the theme.

Intricate gameplay, where humanity depends on your power while challenging it at the same time.

God is a Geek: 7 / 10 by Mick Fraser

Reus is a pleasant little God sim that starts off simple enough but soon becomes deeper and more complex.

TheSixthAxis: 7 / 10 by Aran Suddi

Reus is a great looking, colourful game with decent music. The art style is distinct and the giant designs are all very well done. It is one of those games you would put on when you have a bit of time to kill because it is so easy to get into. You’ll learn the systems quite quickly as you chop and change the world to meet the requirements of the people, though it will take quite a lot of playing to unlock everything and beat the challenges that Reus has listed in it. At times though you can’t help but feel you’re just doing the same thing over and over, and a little bit more substance would help flesh out the experience Reus offers.

GameZone: 7 / 10 by Atle Williatham

Don’t let Reus’ cute art style fool you; Reus is a challenging god game which will have experienced strategy player scrambling to keep on top of resource demands. It’s a strategy game for both more casual gamers and long time strategy fans.
