MuHa Games' Slavic mythology-fueled 4X/RPG/CCG hybrid Thea 2: The Shattering quietly exited Steam Early Access a couple of weeks ago. And with the game fully released, we can now check out a couple of reviews that both seem to be more positive than not. Have a look:
Rock Paper Shotgun Scoreless:
Thea 2 isn’t the hours I spent numbly crafting and cooking, or the card combat which I ended up auto-resolving ninety percent of the time, or the genuinely frustrating way my beloved Cabbage Joe was mercilessly crushed by a camp of bandits after clicking my way into an unwinnable encounter. Thea 2 is the child brought to my villagers via stork, who grew up to be a purple whirlwind demon, and spent their life studying rat corpses so I could learn how to build wishing wells. It’s the time my entire party got sick because a demon decided it would be fun to poo in my food supplies. It’s friendly dwarves who rob you blind after extending your hospitality, and evil-looking goblins who bestow blessings on you after sharing your food. Thea 2 is interesting in a ‘may you live in interesting times’ sense. An imperfect thing that I can’t help but feel affectionate towards.
Turn Based Lovers 8.5/10:
Give the game whatever label you want, but Thea is carving its own path. In the end what MuHa Games offers is a fun, immersive, interesting game that begs to be replayed. And with the modding possibilities and MuHa’s history of adding free DLC, the story of Thea 2: The Shattering is only just beginning.
