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.

'Let your giants decide the fate of humanity.'

Xbox One UK: 6 / 10 by Julie Gilbert

God games can be terribly complex but Reus sweeps away those barriers to offer a bright and engaging experience. The more you play it, though, the more the design limitations make you feel less like a God, and more like a bureaucrat. Nevertheless, Reus is unique and quirky, and we love it all the more for that.

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.

Twinfinite: 4 / 5 by Chaz Miller

All in all, Reus is a deceptively complicated game that seems to get more complex the longer you play. Completing more games and earning achievements allows longer play times, unlocks new abilities for your Giants, and generally gives you a deeper experience.
