Today we grow to be as gods once more in Thea 2: The Shattering, guiding our wee tribe of believers by way of a fantasy post-apocalypse rooted in Slavic mythology. It’s the sequel to 2015’s Thea: The Awakening, a game described by Rob Zacny as “a survival 4X RPG roguelike with crafting and card combat” in our lukewarm Thea: The Awakening review. That’s loads occurring and it didn’t all work the primary time, however Thea was nonetheless different and interesting enough {that a} sequel coming alongside to tidy it up sounds grand. If you’d quite not do early entry, hey, it must be completed in six months or so.
