Giving a thorough look at their new game, 11 bit studios and Fool’s Theory released a back-to-back feature for their next title The Thaumaturge. First, they released the initial announcement trailer that is featured below and then they released a special gameplay video that can be viewed on a special website for the game.
This game is a full-fledged RPG with character development mechanics that allow you to approach situations in different ways, make your own choices, and deal with their consequences. The gameplay is greatly shaped by the presence of mystical beings – the powerful Salutors. Putting a spin on turn-based combat mechanics, Salutors improve the main character’s fighting skills and enhance their statistics, as well as influence the narrative aspect of the game by allowing the player to manipulate other characters to reach personal goals.
Taking place in early 20th-century Warsaw under the authoritarian rule of the Russian Empire, the city is a multicultural metropolis where luxury and wealth meet poverty and crime. In this heavily researched historical setting, players will have an opportunity to meet historical figures and learn about their involvement in the game’s story.
The Thaumaturge doesn’t have a release date yet, but it is set to launch on PC via Steam. What do you think of this form of gameplay reveal?
