Abbey Games and Firesquid have teamed up to deliver a treat for strategy gaming enthusiasts that’s been long-awaited. The highly anticipated sequel to the 2013 hit, Reus, fittingly named Reus 2, is now ready to make its grand debut in a demo version at Steam’s much-anticipated Strategy Fest, kicking off on August 28th. This event marks a momentous occasion, as it provides players with the very first opportunity to immerse themselves in the captivating world of Reus 2 since its official announcement back in May.
In the world of Reus 2, players step into the roles of formidable giants, entrusted with the monumental task of nurturing planets and shepherding humanity’s progress. However, their responsibilities extend far beyond the mere act of cultivating planets. Players can also embark on an exploration of humanity’s destiny, crafting multiple worlds and observing how diverse civilizations shape their surroundings. Success in Reus 2 hinges on meticulous planning and strategic thinking, as players must carefully devise ways to foster life, cultivate thriving ecosystems, and shape diverse biomes. If their initial attempts falter, the option of starting anew with a fresh civilization is always at their disposal.
For those fortunate enough to participate in the demo at Strategy Fest, an exciting 45 minutes to 1.5 hours of engaging content awaits, all set on their initial planet. This early glimpse into the game’s mechanics is facilitated by a tutorial that ensures players are well-acquainted with the game’s fundamentals while offering a tantalizing taste of the expansive content to come. The demo empowers players to shape their planet by harnessing the Taiga, Desert, and Ocean biomes, spanning the first two eras of human development. Moreover, players will have the opportunity to control three giants: the rock, swamp, and ocean giants. The full game promises even more content, introducing both new and familiar giants into the mix. The developers have released this demo with the intention of gathering valuable feedback and providing an enticing sneak peek into what Reus 2 has in store as it steadily approaches its official launch.
The release of Reus 2 is imminent, but at the moment, the demo is readily available during the Steam 2023 Strategy Fest, providing a golden opportunity for players to get a taste of what’s to come. So, if you’re a strategy gaming enthusiast, don’t miss the chance to be part of this exciting journey.
