It's not an easy game, but if you're into survival with crafting, party-management, battle minigames, and just love resource optimization like I do, then this is for you. Love the lore and the dark vibes. Better than its sequel.

Dec. 2025

Currently my favorite game of all time. The story and general feel are just wonderful; you really get into the mindset of a mystical, danger-ridden world that has barely reawakened. If there was any negative I could say its just that there's not enough story events that I can play this every single year (instead I have to take a couple years of a brake so everything feels fresh again). Strong recommend.

Dec. 2025

Once you get the hang with the unique mechanics of this game, it just hooks you. Still today, after so many years, I keep coming back to Thea: The Awakening for another go, trying to convince myself it will just be.. one more turn..

Thea the awakening is a fun game but quite grindy. You have to be prepared to sink hours into the game.

Maybe it's the blend of Slavic folklore with the gritty dark fantasy art or the choose-your-own-adventure style encounter format, but something about Thea keeps me coming back to play all these years later. Here's the best parts of what this game has to offer: 1. Gritty, dark fantasy-style artwork drawing from Slavic folklore 2. Narrated gameplay similar to having a game master or DM narrate your ttrpg choices 3. Replayability using different strategies, tech-tree choices, resources & deity perks 4. Unique dialogue / encounter options depending on group composition, deity choice, previous encounters 5. Interesting combat / conflict resolution via card game where the cards represent your characters The downsides of this game: 1. Fairly limited for village simulation / management options, limited to one village 2. Combat / conflict encounters can be difficult at first, but can become trivial when using certain strategies 3. The music is fantastic, but limited tracks so the music repeats a lot 4. There are some encounters where the text is not narrated (or the game fails to play the narrators lines) All in all, Thea: The Awakening is a reasonably solid game considering its age. Worth giving a try if you enjoy hybrid strategy / simulation games with a dash of rpg-style mechanics and dark fantasy overtones.
