About this game

Thymesia is a souls-like action RPG with fast-paced combat and an intricate plague-powered weapon system, developed by OverBorder Studios. This kingdom once thrived and prospered, because of the fruits of alchemy but so much power came with a dark price, and in their attempt to stop its use, it backfired. Within a few days, the kingdom was engulfed in chaos and the streets were infested with all kinds of abominations. Step into the shoes of a mysterious character known only as “Corvus” as he tries to recover his lost memories whilst fighting the monsters that roam the streets by harnessing the power of diseases and plagues.

• Turn the enemy’s power against them, seize the disease from the gruesome bosses you encounter and wield them as weapons, give them the taste of their own medicine. There is no other way to survive this living nightmare.
• Transform into a raven mid-combat. Throw your feathers like steel daggers and execute your enemies with the swiftness of a predator.
• You can upgrade and modify your basic movement and plague weapons to your own play style, experimentation is fine but always be prepared for the challenges that lie ahead.
• Stitch your memories together with the choices you make throughout the story, the items you have collected, and the places you have visited, you will get many different and unique endings based on these parameters alone.

Reviews

Bottomline, Thymesia does not stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the giants of the genre, but it’s a great game in its own right. Though it falters some in areas like presentation, story, and level design, the combat and upgrade systems are a lot of fun, even if the enemy variety gets to feeling a little thin by the end. Personally, I hope we see a lot more from Overboard Studios and Corvus in the future as there is a lot of potential to be realized yet.

Digital Chumps

It is a little rough around the edges, which is to be expected from a small team and backed by an indie publisher. Stick with Thymesia however and you’ll make some good memories with it, hopefully with some care down the line to refine the experience.

Finger Guns

If you can handle the corners that were cut due to the budget, then Thymasia’s combat system is worth it all on its own. The game’s intriguingly dark setting and the exquisitely dark theme are more than good enough to pay attention to as well. There are certainly things that the development team could do with a sequel if this generates enough revenue to build on the foundations that they’ve created, but the earnestness that went into making this one distinctive from the other “Souls clones” is worthwhile either way.
