It one of the better stories in video games. great idea for itself, bur frankly for a game that has musicla in a title it could have used better musical numbers. they are servicble at best unfortunatly Still it is a very decent story to expirienc, so i recomand it
Excellent idea, original world, an interesting plot, real conflict. the game puts you in front of a couple genuinely hard moral dilemmas. RPG system is simple but provides a lot of depth both in and outside of combat Your main character has a flow of pride, which is used as a persuasion mechanic, in some situations you will need to be prideful to stand your ground, in other scenarios your pride will stop you from making smart decisions. the system has a lot of depth and made me stop and consider my actions often. Combat can be genuinely tricky, I played most turn-based rpges in my life, and I find them boring and easy these days, however, the uniqueness of systems in Thaumaturge made me scratch my head and lose 5 battles during the campaign not counting genuinely tricky final fight. This is the first time in years that I had to think so much during combat, and I loved it! The start of the 20th century was a genuinely interesting time of strife, and conflict and awakened national identity. Warsaw was truly a melting pot, of religions, identities, dogma and politics The political concepts of imperialism, unity, just rebellion, the first steps of feminism and many more are all present and provide an interesting backdrop to the game. I cannot recommend this game hard enough! Definitive must buy the only 2 drawbacks I can think of, are the lack of Polish dub, and very very limited interaction with the saloutors' mystical spirits of the game which I was hoping would be a bigger part of the game than it actually is.
Loop is excelent, artistic value is high, i love voide acting, and art buuut ITS INCREDIBLE REPETETIVE, you will have to run the same mission about 100 times to reach conclusion of the plot, and by 20theth i had enough. I still enjoyed my time in the game, but i am annoyed it is so streatched
I wasnt sure this game was worth my money. with adventure game is fifty fifty, sometimes authors just mumble instead of telling plot For anyone who hesitate, dont! if you like the graphic style go for it! Its really awesom and gets my mark of approval
