Thea 2: The Shattering
In the dark lands inspired by Slavic myth, life is a struggle for survival against ever increasing odds, be it natural or malevolent. Can you lead your flock to prosperity in this innovative blend of 4X strategy, RPG and card game? The player takes on a role of a deity from the Slavic mythology-inspired pantheon and as such, controls the fate of a small flock of believers struggling for survival. This goal can be achieved in many ways, from diplomacy to war, from exploring to conquering, but any playstyle will surely lead to completely unique adventures thanks to the procedurally generated environments. Rich options, from crafting to town-building system, as well as the co-op multiplayer gameplay, make Thea 2 an ideal choice for tactically minded players, who are up for a challenge.

I prefer Thea 1 and have only played 2 for 40+ hours BUT I like it for its ease and overall update in game play compared with Thea 1. combat is much easier as is crafting and gathering. There is more of a build up in challenges and each island gives you a higher level of difficulty.

I played Thea 1 and I thought that was a fun game... then I was like, "hay, Thea 2 has multiplayer, let's try it with friends" and OH MY GOD! We've spent 130 hours in the game in the last 2 weeks and we all have full time jobs. The game is soo much fun!! Only not so fun thing is there are still several noticeable bugs, almost all of which are not game breaking and only mildly annoying.

Both great games, Thea 1 and Thea 2. Both are great in their own way.
You cannot go wrong with either one.
Thea is 4x, strategy, roguelike, survival, RPG, card battles, resource management - in a procedurally generated map.
Lots of replay value, lots of customization options. It can be played as a hardcore ironman/permadeath campaign or it can be a walk in the park. Your choice.
PS: I have over 500 hs playing Thea 2 and over 200 hs playing Thea 1. I find Thea 2 to be the superior game by a good margin. Part of the general criticism, I believe, comes from players who never gave Thea 2 a real shot. It needs time to learn and get used to the changes.

Great game, I loved Thea 1, this was an unexpected change compared to the first but still fun. Avoid the switch port that's where I got it first and ended up wasting my money.

Enjoying this more than I thought I would. Plenty of random events to keep it very interesting. Fun to play and very nice to look at because of colors and textures. Especially fun to get new additions to the group. I just play the auto resolve in battles, so not sure how the manual battles are! The manual battles are a card game, so if you do not like that, auto-resolve is an option. If you already own Thea 1, you save another 2 dollars buying the package offered. I like better then first game.

Played the first game. Loved it. Played the second game. Still love it.
The changes to the grind system is nice especially for late game. The new combat system is fair if so you're not stacking as many villagers as you can to fight tier 5 threats and so forth like the first game. The chosen system provides a hero to the story rather than it just being your entire village up against the darkness, especially nice that you can pick your chosen out of your starting followers meaning you can pick a Rat to be the Chosen one to guide the world into the future. Unique events just like the first game and with the steam workshop mods can change up the game however you see fit and add some more content to it. only thing i would change if i could would be the rate of which you gain God Points but given that you can have multiple games saved at once rather than one playthrough like the original i guess that makes up for it. Games can get long and tedious occasionally but still a fantastic game with great lore, mystery and strategies. Really can't wait for a third game or some more dlc to see what they have in store for us. Thanks for being great developers MuHa Games.
