Thea: The Awakening takes a dash of 4X, a pinch of RPG, and a soupcon of survival, then serves the resultant blend with a healthy serving of card-based combat. It certainly sounds interesting, which might be the best thing to be, and the Steam reviews are "very positive" with how the game turned out.
Maybe a new update will edge that approval rating further into the green. It adds co-op to the 4X, survival...OK, we've covered that already, meaning of course that you can now brave Thea's Slavic mythology-inspired world with a friend. Or, well, an enemy. Or someone you've no strong feelings towards one way the other. To do any of those things you'll need to grab this free DLC.
The announcement post offers a detailed overview of what the DLC brings to the table, while revealing the fixes and other additions brought on by a new game update, released simultaneously.
If you don't yet own Thea, it's currently 40% off in the Steam Summer sale. Here's the launch trailer from last year:
Terraria dev won't have staff crunch to get its next big update out before the end of the year: 'Apologies for this one taking so long for sure, but it will be well worth it'
Tencent's big new survival game looks like Palworld wrapped in Horizon Zero Dawn, but it does have an interesting premise: 'Why can't human beings kill God?'
