Thea combines turn-based strategic gameplay with the tension and grit of a rogue-like and creating a combination between Age of Wonders and Darkest Dungeon. Your teammates get hurt, will bleed out if not treated for example – and thus die. I died the first few times in the tutorial-esque levels since I did not fully grasp certain aspects of the game. Gameplay-wise you will need to invest a lot of time. You are greeted by the tutorial companion and get to pick if you want to skip the tutorial or gain some more lessons from something that looks like a combination between a dog and a monkey.
So, pick a God (soft-reset if you don’t like yours, Pokemon style) and jump into the game. Thea features over eight gods, which you will unlock by leveling up in the game. When I read into the rules handed to me by the game, they explained that you are given two gods at random when starting the game. I personally choose the God of Death and Rebirth, because she looked cool and I usually go with the ‘Death and Destruction’ types.
You have only a few hopeless and starving survivors who are desperately trying to stay alive. There are Strigas (Cursed women) and Baba Yagas (Slavic witches) aplenty, but there are no heroes, no monster slayers, and no great armies capable of banishing them. The hexagon tiles are there, the in-depth crafting and building system is represented and all the weird encounters that are randomly generated – also there. Anyone familiar with the games I mentioned in the introduction will feel right at home. Thea: The Awakening is a turn-based strategic survival game steeped in Slavic myth and monstrosity set after an apocalyptic force is known only as The Darkness has engulfed the world. After a successful release on Steam (and Xbox One/PS4 a little later), this Dungeons & Dragons-esque hybrid is ported to the Nintendo Switch reeling in a whole new fanbase (hopefully). Do you like Age of Wonders? How about The Settlers of Catan? And Civilization? If you just ticked off all three boxes then Thea: The Awakening is just the game for you.
