Description

The once thriving Kingdom of Hermes has fallen to an age of calamity.

Seen as the answer to all the kingdom’s ailments, alchemy became a widely used practice across the land, with denizens welcoming it into their homes, using it to enhance and heal as they saw fit. When the price of alchemy became too steep, attempts to halt its use were made, each as woefully unsuccessful as the last, with the catastrophic consequences felt across the realm. Within days, the kingdom fell to chaos, infected monsters prowling the blood-soaked streets, all hope of a cure lost.

Corvus is the kingdom’s final hope, the fate of Hermes resting in his feathered hands. The truth is buried deep in the memories Corvus left scattered throughout the punishing world, and only by collecting these lost memories can the kingdom be saved, but each time he dives back in, trying to piece together the truth, all he finds is more secrets.

Key Features


  • Harness the plague: Seize plague weapons from gruesome bosses and formidable enemies, wielding them as deadly weapons. Giving enemies a taste of their own medicine will be the only way to survive the horrors that lurk in the shadows of the once thriving kingdom
  • Embrace the Raven: Shift into your raven form during battle, throw feathers like daggers to interrupt your enemies’ attacks, and perform executions with the swiftness of a raptor.
  • Fight your way: Upgrade and modify Corvus’ basic movements and plague weapons, build your very own playstyle, and prepare for the challenges that await in your own unique way.
  • Unforgiving enemies: Corrupted by the plague, and mutated into monsters, enemies are twisted and incredibly hostile, challenging your ability at every turn.
  • Shattered memories: Piece together Corvus’ past as you dive back into his memories, trying to uncover the truth hidden in the past.

excellent souls-like. felt a little bit on the rails as in, linear path. However this opens up a bit after a little gameplay. Unfortunately this game does not support the XBOX elite series 2 controller paddle buttons.

While this game has great atmosphere and a fantastic deflect mechanic, I simply hated the combat system. There is a wound + reclaim system where you inflict green wounds on an enemy, and then you have to use plague

Good atmosphere, good moves, but the first real boss is hell of a steep jump on the skill curve. I'm quite familiar with soulslike games, I like them, gone through most of them, but this is where my frustration won.

Started this game over a year ago and jumped off pretty quick. Tried again recently and it clicked! I actually enjoy parrying in Thymesia more than any other game. Really glad I gave it a second chance. I can't get into

Great game. A little rough around the edges. Definitely could have used a bit more polish, but the gameplay is great; very crisp and satisfy deflect-based souls-like. It's pretty short (only took me roughly 10 hours to

First of all, this is not a well made game. For example, hitbox on your sword is so bad, that it visibly phases through enemies more often than not. That said, the rest of it works fine, and has a lot to offer. While it
