"Deserted Planet" opens bare and quiet, just a few notes hanging in empty space. Then "The Human Spirit" layers in strings and percussion that build with the civilizations you're nurturing. The tension is real. "War Begins" replaces those gentle folk instruments with urgent orchestral swells as your little people start fighting each other.
"Prosperity Theme" hits this sweet spot between pride and fragility. Even the chiptune remix at the end feels earned. If you like world-building games where the music grows alongside your creation, Reus absolutely nails that arc.
