If you want to learn everything you need to know about Thymesia, then you’re in the right place. Thymesia is the latest game to take on the genre of Soulslikes, but this one’s clearly aiming more for a Bloodborne and Sekiro feel than it is Dark Souls. As we’ve not had many games attempt that as of yet, it’s an interesting time to be a fan of getting beaten up in games by enemies with too much health.
Thymesia described itself as being a “gruelling action-RPG with fast-paced combat and an intricate plague weapon system.” You take control of someone called Corvus, and you have to use powers fuelled by disease to find out what’s happened to you and why you have no memories. That’s all basically window-dressing for being a plague doctor who has no interest in helping people, but does want to figure out why there are weird monsters all over the place.
With all of that in mind, here’s everything you need to know about Thymesia including its release date, gameplay, and a trailer too. So, let’s get stuck in, but make sure you’ve had your vaccine first because this plague looks rough.
Thymesia Release Date
The Thymesia release date is August 18th, 2022. The game is coming to PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. So, as long as you’ve got one of the current-gen consoles or a semi-decent PC, you’ll be able to get stuck in. If you don’t have those and only have a Nintendo Switch, you’ll be glad to know that it’s coming to the handheld hybrid via a Cloud version too.
While Thymesia was initially meant to release on August 9th, it got pushed back byt the developers so they had a little bit more time to work on it. Hopefully, that means that we’ll all have a more polished game, and the devs will get a nice break afterwards as well.
Thymesia Gameplay
Thymesia’s gameplay looks to be incredibly fast-paced, with players having to dodge, parry, and use special abilities in order to take out tough enemies. As this is a Soulslike, you can expect even the most humble of enemies to be able to take you to task, so you’ll need to figure out your own playstyle using a mix of Corvus’ weapons, plague weapons, and raven abilities to whittle down different enemy types.
What’s really cool is that you can apparently seize weapons from both enemies and bosses and use them against the monsters. There’s a lot there, and it seems like you’ll be able to mess around and find your own style as you delve deeper into the game. This seems especially important, because if you take a look at the trailer, it shows off a huge array of different areas, enemies, and abilities to use.
Thymesia Trailer
If all of that has you absolutely itching to watch what it’s like, then good news, there’s a trailer. It shows off various areas filled with different colour palettes filled with humanoid and monstrous enemies all trying to attack Corvus and failing as Corvus brutally dismembers nearly all of them while looking incredibly cool. It’s an undeniably stylish game, and it’s a beautiful thing to watch in motion.
Of course, the trailer is being played by someone competent who knows the game inside and out, so don’t expect to look that cool straight away, or possibly ever. Still though, it’s a very pretty take on a pandemic, which makes a nice change from real life at least.
If you’re keen to see how things look on Switch, then you’re in luck because there’s a Thymesia trailer specifically for that. We’re not going to vouch for a cloud version on Switch, but aside from the slightly blurrier graphics, it still looks pretty smooth, which is always a nice thing.
