The game is a grueling action-RPG with fast-paced combat and an intricate plague weapon system. Your snotty internet person next door will call it “another Souls-like faded to Doom”. I know the appeal of Souls-like/Soulborne games, but can’t we skip the comparisons for once? OverBorder studio game director, Moon Lee, shared his thoughts about the news: Craig McCarthy, Producer, Team17, said: Team17 was kind enough to share an overview of the game and its features:
About
Set against a world ravaged by a plague, Thymesia will challenge players with fast-paced melee combat while they unravel the mysteries that haunt the harrowingly beautiful world. At the heart of the story is Corvus, a mysterious character capable of seizing enemy diseases and using them as weapons against his adversaries; players will engage in visceral combat, combining ferocious offensive abilities, perfectly timed parries, and dynamic dodges to take down unforgiving enemies. Players will also have the ability to customize Corvus to their own playstyle, upgrading and improving various stats to aid in their journey to recover Corvus’ memories.
Key Features
Weaponizing Diseases – As Corvus, players can seize diseases from enemies and wield them as deadly weapons. Engaging Combat – Players will need to use their entire arsenal to avoid death; dodging attacks and parrying at precisely the right time will be instrumental to survival. A Dark and Deadly World – With a sinister and gloomy backdrop, Thymesiaoozes character through its environments and setting. Unforgiving Enemies – Corrupted by the plague, and mutated into monsters, the enemies are twisted and incredibly hostile, challenging players at every turn. Replayability – The ability to customize Corvus and try different builds, coupled with the multiple different endings available, means no two playthroughs are ever the same.
