Thea 2: The Shattering

The game is all about crushing RNG. I wasted my whole weekend playing game after game and getting nowhere. Apparently you can make your god stronger by winning but that seems impossible. Something as simple as village placement is absurd and dependent on resource nodes randomly distributed on the map. You need wood, coal, and good crafting materials. Not the low quality stuff, either. You want to scout for good stuff, but then you die long before finding a good spot. You only get one village so you have to make it count. The whole thing is ridiculous. I'm glas I got it on sale but I begrudge even the pittance I paid for it.

Too many complicated aspects to learn and bad UI. Almost the fact that you can only scroll map with middle mouse roll button made me close down the game. And when I got smashed in the first fight I realised that this game is a massive investment in mechanics you wont get any real guidance in. Please try a demo before shelling out the bucks for this game.

can't believe it took me a long time to post my review, but in short this game is a masterpiece i played with two friends before we had fun co-op too

If you do not know what your characters will be doing in combat, it is not tactic. One turn he is melee attacking 10, next turn he can be only ranged 1. Similar in Thea-1 - randomly assigning medic to combat, fighter to support. Designer of that should be fired. Steam has demo, you can try before bying this piece.
