  • The game retains the engaging RPG elements and lore from previous Thea titles, providing a familiar yet fresh experience for fans.
  • The combat system has been polished, with tactical depth and a satisfying deck-building mechanic that encourages strategic gameplay.
  • The art style and immersive world-building create a captivating atmosphere, enhanced by a strong narrative and interesting quests.
  • The game feels incomplete and lacks the depth and variety of earlier titles, with some mechanics feeling underdeveloped or unbalanced.
  • There are significant bugs and performance issues, particularly in early access, which can disrupt gameplay and lead to frustrating experiences.
  • The reliance on supplies and a simplified city management system detracts from the complexity and engagement found in previous games.
  • gameplay
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by solid core mechanics and an engaging world, with quests that are more in-depth than expected. While some players find the gameplay loop mediocre and the combat mechanics overly complex, others appreciate the strategic and replayable elements, as well as the blend of familiar and new mechanics that build on previous titles in the series. Overall, the game shows promise, particularly for fans of RPGs, crafting, and tech trees.

    • “The worldbuilding is interesting, the core mechanics are solid, and the quests are deeper and more fleshed-out than I thought they'd be at this stage.”
    • “The tech tree mechanic is preserved, although now done with concentric rings; there's a tutorial quest just like in previous games; there's some humorous references to previous games (much appreciated reference to cabbage patches); overall it feels both familiar and new, which is great because I was just thinking I wanted to go back to Thea games after all this time.”
    • “Looks really promising after the first 3 hours - fun, keeps the strengths of Thea 1 & 2 while offering a different setting, new mechanics, and lots of other things to explore.”
    • “It's mediocre at best, without anything to hook the audience with or wow us with mechanically.”
    • “Gameplay is once again a revolution but not an upheaval of existing mechanics.”
    • “The game's combat mechanics are too complex.”
  • story
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in this game is praised for its engaging worldbuilding and connections to previous titles in the Thea series, creating a rich narrative experience. Players appreciate the depth of quests and the humor woven into the lore, although some technical issues have been noted that can disrupt gameplay. Overall, the narrative feels both familiar and innovative, with potential for further development as the game progresses in early access.

    • “Been a fan of Thea lore, and jumping into this apocalyptic world where it still has connections really makes the storytelling good.”
    • “The worldbuilding is interesting, the core mechanics are solid, and the quests are deeper and more fleshed-out than I thought they'd be at this stage.”
    • “I like how much story and content went into making this!”
    • “I thought I could just progress through the storyline and ignore the inability to fight roaming parties, just let the project deal with them, but alas I cannot because the game is stuck on continuous animation of the combat and alt+F4 is the only cure.”
    • “The game is in an 'advanced' early access stage, and clearly, there's still room to improve and expand the story and replayability.”
    • “The setting is post-apocalyptic with lots of fantasy elements, and it seems like there is a bit of lore that transferred over from the last Thea game, without actually affecting the story that much.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics have received positive feedback for their professional coloring and fitting post-apocalyptic art style, enhancing the overall game feel. While some players express a preference for different artistic styles, the unique visuals are appreciated and contribute to the game's immersive atmosphere. Additionally, there are calls for adjustable graphics settings to accommodate various player preferences.

    • “The game's cover illustration is a good example of professional coloring that elevates the graphics and game feel by a mile.”
    • “The vibe and pacing are convincing, and I like the art style.”
    • “There is no reason to not allow reduced graphics settings.”
    • “First thing out of the gate - the artwork.”
    • “I'm enjoying it quite a bit already, not loving the art style as much as Thea: Awakening or Thea 2: The Shattering, but the game has a different style so it makes sense that the art would too.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's music, influenced by synthwave and Slavic folklore, is praised for its superb quality and immersive experience, complementing the visually appealing art and writing. Reviewers liken the overall atmosphere to a blend of Fallout, Shadowrun, and Stalker, enhanced by an electro soundtrack that evokes a unique cultural vibe.

    • “The lore is still great, and still revolves around Slavic folklore, complemented by new music close to the synthwave genre.”
    • “This game's music is superb; the art and menus are visually appealing, the writing is great, and together they create an immersive experience from the get-go.”
    • “It feels like Fallout, Shadowrun, and Stalker (the book) had a baby after a party with lots of vodka in an old Soviet block, set to the tune of electro music.”
    • “The music feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged.”
    • “The soundtrack doesn't match the game's atmosphere, often feeling out of place.”
    • “While the lore is intriguing, the music fails to enhance the experience and can be quite distracting.”
  • replayability
