Thea: The Awakening

One of the best rpg/4x games I've played. Inspired by grea mythology and really interesting card combat mechanic. Recomended

Thea is a game with many different mechanics and thus may take some time getting used to, but it's well worth the time investment. You start the game by picking a god with a unique set of bonuses that will affect your townspeople. Your god with level up after completing a game and you can also unlock other gods, offering some nice replayability. The gameplay revolves around exploring the map, doing quests, upgrading your town and improving your villagers' skills. There are different ways to finish a game, though the most straightforward path is to complete the main questline. Quests are often resolves through combat or a skill challenge. These take the form of a card game which is quite fun once you get the hang of it. All of the quest dialogue is also voiced over by a quality narrator, adding to the immersion of the story. Because every villager has their own inventory, equipment, and a unique list of skills, the game does get heavy on micromanagement, especially in the late game. This can be a dealbreaker if that's not your thing. All things considered, this is definitely a quality game.

Really good, I am a huge fan. Most of the time I do not replay a game but here, it is really fun. Luck and hazard are important but they make the game more realistic (you cant control everything). The story is great, the art too, the strategy is important, they are real difference between divinities, bref, que du bonheur.

Excelent game , a very different battle and tatics. It's a RPG + 4X + survival fantasy.

As with many lesser known titles, Thea has some hiccups. It's not the prettiest, having to turn resource mode on every turn is annoying and it can be sparse on information, for example. That said, the game itself is splendid. From your one village you send out expeditions to forage, solve quests and hunt monsters, all of which are necessary to complete the game. Resources appear scattered around the map and expeditions is the only way to reach any that isn't right by your village, for example. It also lets an expedition survive in the wilds indefinitely, theoretically anyway, which I've always loved. Most of the systems, while a little sparse on information, is intuitive once you grasp it and really fun to delve into. The simple crafting system works well with your varying amounts of resources and lets you create anything from a salad to complex gear in the same way. Thea is a really cool game that blends gameplay genres in a pretty unique way. While it can be low on information, once you get into it the intuitiveness of the systems take over. I can strongly recommend this for anyone looking for something new in their strategy games.
