The Thaumaturge is a new role-playing game on Steam, which aims to impress with a dark concept. In a new trailer, nearly 7 minutes of gameplay can now be seen, and this already convinces players to buy the game on the first day.
What kind of game is this? The Thaumaturge is a new role-playing game set to be released on February 20, 2024 on Steam. It is also expected to be available on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox. It is developed by 11 bit Studios, which is currently also working on Frostpunk 2.
- The story takes place in 1905 in Warsaw and follows Wiktor Szulski, who returns to the vibrant city.
- Wiktor is a Thaumaturge and can see, tame, and use Salutors (demons that feed on human weaknesses) in combat.
- You can expect an isometric role-playing game where you have control over the course of the story and character development.
The latest trailer follows Wiktor on a quest and shows how he can use his abilities in exploration and combat:
What excites the trailer? The trailer showcases nearly 7 minutes of gameplay from one of the possible quests. You get to see, among other things, world exploration, dialogues with NPCs, and combat gameplay.
Players seem to be quite convinced by the overall gameplay on display. Many people write in their comments (via YouTube) similarly to “GodSpeed9289” that it will definitely be a day-one purchase.
User “ordinaryfiver4403” even goes further, stating that he will not only buy the game on the first day, but that it will also be among his favorite games. He already decided this after the beta.
Players are already believing in a new RPG hit
Right at the beginning of the trailer, the combat system is shown, which plays out in rounds and relies on a unique, dark concept. In combat, you not only use your own attacks or weaken the focus of your opponents with special abilities, but also utilize the various demons that you can acquire throughout the game.
These have different abilities that you can use in battle. For example, the demon Bukavac becomes stronger as your opponents weaken and can thus perform increasingly brutal attacks.
When exploring the world, you utilize Wiktor’s abilities to find hidden things and read the emotions associated with them. This could become important for you during the quests.
With the interesting concept and the dark world created for the game, players have definitely been convinced at this point. For example, “xdmeister8406” writes in his comment: “Man, I wish 11 bit would develop every video game…”. And also “mxjokereh” expects a lot from the game, stating: “I believe the developers don’t know that this game will destroy everything else at release”.
In an earlier trailer, The Thaumaturge was already compared to Baldur’s Gate 3. But another game can also be compared to the popular title: New RPG on Steam is like Baldur’s Gate 3 – But you can ride magical cowboys on dinosaurs
