In Reus, you control powerful giants that help you shape the planet to your will. You can create mountains and oceans, forests and more. Enrich your planet with plants, minerals and animal life. 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. Provide for them and they may thrive. Give them too much and their greed may get the upper hand.
Reus is about shaping nature and about the greed of mankind. The player controls mythical giants, through which the player controls every aspect of nature. One can perform feats like terrascaping, creating life and genetic manipulation. However, eventually humanity enters a stage where they escape from the control of the giants. Change can still be made to their environment or oceans can be made underneath their cities, but their will is their own. The challenge is to let mankind and nature live in harmony, while encountering the many vices humanity has to offer. This means that as a player, some of the tasks are solving human wars, countering deforestation and even surviving attacks against the giants themselves.

Another sunrise, another day of toil. Food must be grown, industries built, science and magic advanced, and wealth collected. Urgency drives these simple efforts, however, for your planet holds a history of unexplained apocalypse, and the winter you just survived was the worst on record. A fact that has also been true for the previous five. As you discover the lost secrets of your world and the mysteries of the legends and ruins that exist as much in reality as in rumor, you will come to see that you are not alone. Other peoples also struggle to survive, to grow, and perhaps even to conquer. You have a city, a loyal populace, and a few troops; your power and magic should be sufficient to keep them alive. But beyond that, nothing is certain… Where will you go, what will you find, and how will you react? Will your trail be one of roses, or of blood?
