Reus - where you feel like a god!

Reus is an indie game that is being developed by Abbey Games. This game is all about using the will of the 4 gods to find a balance between nature and the humans inhabiting the planet. The game features a unique art style by being 2d, but also having a very cartoonist look to everything(not a bad thing in my mind). Wanting to play it? Well sorry to let you down but it is not out yet the game releases on steam and other similar sites on May 16, 2013. I should also note that at this time there is only conformation about a PC version of this, nothing has been said about porting it over to consoles. There is not much information out about the game because no one has been able to play it  freely, we only have 2 videos that they released to go off of.

Gameplay

The game is played with a mouse and keyboard, i assume they are simple controls because the gameplay videos do not seem to show many complex keystrokes or anything of the kind. Even with the "limited" number to controls the game still has many many different possibilities that can happen and the game will always be anew each play through. The main objective of the game is to keep a balance between all of the people and nature. You can do this in a multitude of ways using the gods, for example the 'Tree/plant God' can grow plants and animals, so if you don't help the people by creating food and animals then they will not worship you and rebel which breaks the balance between humans and nature.

I realize that this is not a very in depth review of the game or much about it, but once it comes out and i can get my hands on it i will be sure to make a better review or just update this one. But for the time being here are a ton of in game pictures they have released and a video or two.
