Description

A hero with a flaw
Wiktor Szulski is a thaumaturge, a master of mystical arts, who can peer into the hearts and minds of others, uncovering their deepest emotions, desires, and secrets. However, his powers also feed into his flaw of pride, which can present him with various opportunities or lead to negative consequences.

Untold mysteries waiting to be revealed
No secret or intrigue is safe when the thaumaturge is around. Your unique abilities will give you a great edge in solving detective investigations, becoming a savvy socialite or even dealing with the criminal underground. Explore the world using Wiktor’s perception, seeking personal secrets hidden in objects, that provide different perspectives on events that may seem obvious at first glance.

Taming mythical creatures
As a thaumaturge, you draw your power from the ability to summon salutors – mystical, folklore-inspired demons that inhabit the ethereal realm. Use their powers to manipulate your foes, sway the minds of allies, and fight opponents in turn-based tactical combat.

Unique turn-based combat
Engage in deep, tactical combat against various opponents – some physical, others more elusive. Wiktor's thaumaturgical abilities let you bend the rules of reality, summoning demons to unleash powerful attacks or gain strategic advantages.

A rich gallery of characters
The early 20th-century Warsaw is a multicultural metropolis with inhabitants from all walks of life. Among them, you’ll meet historical figures like the monk Rasputin or Tsar Nicholas II. The story also introduces you to a gallery of characters connected to Wiktor’s troubled past such as his well-versed sister Ligia or Abaurcy, a childhood friend who turned to a life of crime.

Amazing game. It lacks the AAA polish, and feels a bit janky at times, but storywise, characterwise and gameplaywise it's better than most AAA games nowadays.

Wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone who is in doubt. If you like these types of games, Thaumaturge delivers.
  • Engaging story
  • Tactical combat that requires planning ahead
  • Very interesting background and characters
  • Voice acting is not the best
  • Lacks AAA polish
  • Short but sweet (about 20-25h of gameplay)

So far so good !

I've been playing The Thaumaturge for a few hours now and I have to say the game is really interesting in a lot of way.

I've never been a fan of turn-based games but I for some reason I still wanted to take a look at this one. And it was a wonderful idea.

The game is very well designed, the sounds are immersive and the game style is interesting. It pushes you into being curious about your surroundings, but with precaution. Also, the story so far is really beautiful but kind of mysterious. I am really excited to see how far this will go !
  • Well designed
  • Interesting turn-based system
  • Very mysterious storyline
  • A bit slow in the beginning

An amazing indie game done by developers who had a clear vision. You can tell that a good amount of the devs came from CD Projekt Red by the way the questing was laid out the writing for the story. The story is very engaging from the beginning to end, while offer a good amount of exploration. They suggest the player to explore the corners of the decently sized maps and interact with many small items on the ground or view points to unlock lore and side quests.

The combat is more complex then it initally looks, and there is a solid amount of build crafting which surprised me. The voice acting ranges from absolutely terrible to decent (biggest downfall). There are so many choices in dialogues and actions that you can do that do effect what quests open, what npcs you can interact with properly and endings (there are multiple!)

In all its a game worth getting esp at this price of $15.
  • Immersive setting
  • Strong consistent narrative
  • Interesting npcs
  • Bad to decent voice acting
  • inconsistent diffculty with encounters

Definitely worth it, hoping for more content or a sequel
  • Many combos to try
  • Great designs for the salutors
  • Intriguing story, plot
  • No new game +
  • Maybe this could be done in a grandeur scale
