In December of this year, a new role-playing game will be released on Steam that challenges you with moral decisions and allows you to tame demons for your own benefit. With its interesting concept, it could become the new hit for role-playing fans.
What kind of game is this? The Thaumaturge is a plot-driven role-playing game with strategic and turn-based combat. Make morally difficult decisions in the game that influence the course of events, and use the protagonist’s special abilities to hold your own in battle.
The game will be released on December 5, 2023 on Steam, published by 11 bit Studios (Frostpunk). The development team of the game consists of people who have already worked on Seven or The Witcher 3.
A console version is also set to be released in early 2024.
You can see the trailer for the game here on MeinMMO:
Here’s what to expect in Thaumaturge: It is the year 1905, and Warsaw is at a cultural peak. The city is full of people with various views and interests: Russian soldiers, Jewish merchants, Polish citizens, and many more.
Due to the conflicts between different groups, the city is rife with crime, vice, and intrigue. This is what the protagonist Wiktor Szulski has to realize upon his return to the city.
Wiktor, like the rest of his family, has the ability to perceive, influence, and control the minds of people. He sees the Salutors – demons that feed on the weaknesses of humans. For them, Warsaw is a feast at this time.
However, Wiktor Szulski can also tame these demons and use them to his advantage in battle.
So, you can expect an isometric role-playing game here in which you have complete control over the course of the story and character development.
Players trust the developers to deliver another hit
These are the reactions to the game: Players express positive feedback about the concept and style of the game particularly in the comments (via YouTube).
However, many note that the game could still use a bit of polish before release. For example, the running animations could appear a bit more natural and fluid, or the animations of the faces.
Furthermore, players trust the developers and publisher to deliver a good game with Thaumaturge.
