The Thaumaturge Review - The Final Verdict

The Thaumaturge is a supernatural look at 1905’s Warsaw. As the world hovers on the brink of a war in less than a decade, protagonist Wiktor Szulski is roaming around Warsaw, using his strange pet demons to solve mysteries and figure out just what is happening.
When it comes to gameplay, The Thaumaturge is primarily a conversation-driven investigative game, where players will get to make plenty of choices along the way. If the player does manage to find themself in a fight, the game throws up one of the more fun combat systems out there, which manages to be incredibly tactical without getting bogged down in having to deal with the minutiae of character stats or weapon upgrades.

This looks so much more interesting than most of the AAA slop coming out these days. Plus a turn based combat system, sign me up.

Mark my words 11 bit studios is gonna be BIG!

[@11bitstudios]

Thank you for the review! 👾

[@thebleaki]

Now toss me a review key too :D

[@gemodemplay415]

This is a masterpiece. I am so happy with how the game turned out.

[@DM-fp8uw]

When you talk about how great the sound is, you might want to let the sound play.

[@macles9051]

Viktor, not Wiktor. He says it in the game. Spelled with W but pronounced with V.

[@TevyaSmolka]

This game does sound very interesting

[@Graavigala85]

The demo was really great

[@CheckandCheque]

This game looks like it has potential.

[@spencercorpuz]

That was a weird clip to pick for the beginning of the review lol

[@DaleALMono77]

Much better and intriguing setting than Persona games . The look of the monsters is very impressive. I’m in … FYI , 11 bit studios partnered with Microsoft to put their games on gamepass , I see an announcement soon .

[@dav1dgear]

I do not understand why the battle is great, it's just standard turn base from what i can see. Kinda like Grandia where each action has their own speed

[@midnightwolfwarrior]

It's like he read someone's report and didn't actually play, based on how he pronounces these words XD

[@DarthDaddy-cg6ro]

Thanks.

[@NickAndWolf]

Probably should’ve briefed your narrator on how to actually pronounce the proper nouns of this game

[@mtnman8783]

Hmmm has potential

[@dominikgadecki475]

it is Wiktor not "Łikter" :D

[@charlie398]

Looks amazing!

[@GamerSoul4Ever]

Great game ❤

[@doubledangerous7898]

[@fernosbonos5394]

Rather magic based

[@ericzhou-y4t]

A decent game. However, the combat system is too bad compared to PERSONA. Too many fetch quests.

[@ImperialEarthEmpire]

havent finished this but the battle in this game seem useless...

[@Meehow_T]

First

[@marconeves1979]

Yo, narrator: it’s pronounced Victor! I get that they spell it with a W, but in Polish, that sounds like a V. are the English voice actors pronouncing this incorrectly as well? Huge L if so.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

turn based combat sucks

[@sifthegreat5810]

To a simpleton, yes.

[@rdgrdmedflde4710]

Remind me, what's the genre of the game which won GOTY last year?

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Elden Ring souls combat is where it is at@@rdgrdmedflde4710

[@OceanMetTheSky]

Yeah because only a simpleton would be bored with repetitive use of the same tactics over and over again....@@sifthegreat5810
