Good addition to the first

Ok. It's not as complex as the first one. There is less challenges, and less attributes to develop. Instead of 9 challenges, there is only 3 (Physical-Mental-Magic), and instead of 23 attrributes there is only 6. Which gives way less options to trigger some challenges and encounters. The game is a lot simpler. Yes, well, we changed the world in the first one. It's normal to change the difficulty. The Cosmic Tree is back. Life is easier on Thea, even though a new danger arises, the Light. As the world was broken, Darkness and Light got both... "shattered". That's the plot. And once again your God calls for its Chosen. Instead of a starting village, you are a nomad. And you'll need at least one or two games to understand where to settle, if you choose to settle of course. There is other factions, it means trade, alliance, warfare, quest,... Instead of grinding your research points by crafting (which was really annoying in the first game), you can create a school. Your kids can increase skills too before facing the trial of adulhood. The crafting is nice, and way richer. The gathering two, and we can perform more rituals over the game (and invok Rock Trolls). Not too difficult to understand and master, but richer. Weapons need to match your characters' attributes to be effective. Well, there's plenty. It's different. And thank you for that, it's a sequel that do not capitalize on its elder. It changed as Thea changed. And the game is not that easy. It's not a 5 stars as the events are less rich (mostly because of the attribute's system), even though I had fun encountering the Orcish Inquisition (who ever expected the Orcish Inquisition ?) or we meet the Dwarf who married the Rusalka back in the days. But it is great. And I like to sail from an island to another. Good job there.

After patches, it is a great game

So other reviews are negative.... But now that it has patches, it is an addictive game! I was not sure at first because it is quite different than Thea 1, but I was proven wrong! It is a fun game on its own. I recommend everyone to give it a go, and be patient with it. It is meant for a niche, and if you are that niche, congrats you found a great way to spend several afternoons.

Good game but takes time to get used to.

I loved Thea and was quite excited to check out the newer version. In short, It is worth a try but be ready it will take some time until you get into the flow. It has mesmerizing musical accompaniment. It immerses you into the myth and keeps there. The game is visually appealing. It pleases the eye and doesn't grow old. The writing holds the standards presented in the initial Thea. It keeps the tension and trepidation on what you're getting into in each event. Now about the main Gameplay. I was playing without manual saves, and I had restarted about 6 times before I managed to get a good run without being doomed to extinction. Now you need to keep an eye not only on health but also on mental health and spirit. The thing is, you might still die if it gets lower than 30%. It takes time to get used to it. I thought it is a little too complicated. Other than that, I liked the ability to pick place for a village and have more than one. ( I never figured out how to destroy a building in a village, but that's just me) Also different factions were a nice introduction to the game. At last, now in order to beat Thea you need have to craft to create normal equipment. (Beating with outnumbering doesn't work anymore).] It means a lot of crafting and gathering. That's pretty much it. I liked the new Thea. If you are going to give it a try, then give it some time as well. Also, I will recommend in difficulty settings to tune auto resolve to good, to ensure you can spam it when you get bored of combat.

Wasn't sure at first, but... I love it.

So far, I've had this game for about three weeks, and I am already at over 225 hours played. The first time I loaded it up, I wasn't sure how I felt about it, and I stopped playing it after about a half hour and didn't think I would probably pick it up again. Later that night, though, I sat down and tinkered with it a bit more, and then I was hooked. There is a lot more depth to the game than is apparent at first blush, and I recommend that anybody who might be sitting on the fence should go ahead and pick it up.

Unique strategy game, worth trying

Thea 2 is a mix of different genres, so a bit hard to describe. Basically, we're in turn-based strategy land with elements of 4X, card-based combat and fantasy RPG in the mix. The basic experience is you move your party around on a hex-based map, gathering resources (food, fuel and crafting stuff) and triggering various encounters. The encounters are short, text-driven, choose-your-own-adventure sorts of things (think Sunless Sea/Skies) which usually involve various kinds of challenges. These challenges are resolved as card-based "battles" and there are three kinds - physical, verbal and magical - with the different characters in your group being strong in some and weak in others. Effectively the challenges are all resolved as combat encounters - your goal is always to whittle the opponents' cards down to 0 hp. These 'encounters' generate experience, items and resources, which you use to beef up your dudes in traditional RPG style. There is an overall story to the campaign but you also just spend lots of time exploring in an open-ended way. In a nod to the 4X genre, you can also establish a village that gives various bonuses, there is a simple research mechanic and there are other 'factions' out there you can befriend or wipe off the map, as you please. This is not really a 4X, as these are sidelines rather than core gameplay. The game is a bit daunting at first with a lot of mechanics going on that are fairly poorly explained by the in-game tutorials. Once you figure out the basics, however, this is a deep and rich experience. The story 'encounters' are based on an interesting Slavic lore and well-written, the card combats are pretty deep with a lot of variety to unit types and strategy. The gathering/crafting is a bit of a chore at times but never too grindy. The game imagines itself as rouge-like but I'd had enough after my first play-through. There's not really enough variety in the events to stop things getting repetitive. Still, had lots of fun!
