InThymesia, players take on the role of Corvus, a mysterious alchemist and plague doctor exploring the dying Kingdom of Hermes. His goal is to study, harness, and hopefully cure the magical plague that brought the kingdom to its knees, all while fighting off the monstrous infected. It’s no surprise if the premise is ringing some bells.Thymesiais a Souls-like, and it borrows heavily from some of FromSoftware’s best work.
Most notably,Thymesiaseems to shareBloodborne’s Quicksilver Bullet and Rally system. That isn’t to say the game has no tricks of its own. The player can seamlessly switch between their physical weapons and a wide range of magical weapons formed from the plague itself, giving the player a wider than usual arsenal. There is a lot on offer, especially for hardcoreSouls-like fans who have exhaustedElden Ring.
