How to play Thymesia on Mac (M1 and Intel)

Thymesia on Mac

Thymesia is an action role-playing game (RPG) with Souls-like gameplay that will satisfy your need for a challenging adventure. Similar to other such games, Thymesia throws you headfirst into a strange setting and then leaves you to explore the environment and fight with the creatures you discover in order to figure out what you’re facing.

The action takes place in the fictional kingdom of Hermes. There is a pandemic that is infecting humans and animals and causing them to mutate into monsters. Hermes had been using alchemy to combat the plague up until now, but suddenly everything has gone out of control and nobody knows why.

As a player, you take on the role of Corvus, a lone warrior with missing memories who wanders the plague-ridden kingdom in search of a cure and trying to remember what has happened. Corvus has already explored three different areas of the kingdom and slain the creatures there, so in each level of the game you’ll actually have to remember about an event from the past.

Everywhere you look, there’s something terrifying waiting to pounce at you. You’ll spend most of your time exploring the map and gathering notes that slowly reveal the story’s main line.

Thymesia has an intriguing backstory to explore, but that’s not the game’s biggest strength. It is the action-packed, offensive gameplay that has you shifting your attention between battling weaker enemies and taking on more powerful bosses.

Quick on his feet, Corvus smothers his opponents in a hail of blades, and quickly slips out of reach before they can respond. There is no stamina bar in the game, so the only thing that caps your damage is the duration of your combo string, like in a fighting game.

There is no blocking either, so dodging and parrying become your only real options for avoiding harm. In every fight, you have to decide either to wait out the enemy’s attack string and then strike them back when they’re vulnerable, or take the damage with well-placed parries and strike them at your first chance.

Mastering how to dodge and parry attacks is crucial if you want to avoid being killed, but in this land of survival, success requires more than just a willingness to fight to the death – it requires an understanding of how each creature works and how it can be defeated.

Collecting gold from defeated foes and using it to increase attributes like health and damage is standard practice, but, aside from that, you’ll also find and improve plague weapons, which can be used in secondary attacks against enemies.

It’s interesting to note that some enemies carry one-use plague weapons that may be stolen and used to upgrade your existing offensive capabilities. This is fantastic against elite enemies and bosses, who often have access to game-changing powers.

The talent tree in the game allows you to enhance Corvus’ abilities, but there is a limit to the talent points you can have, so you can’t just max everything out and hope for the best. Instead, you need to use these points wisely if you want to become an unstoppable killer.

Sub-quests aren’t mandatory to complete in order to progress in the game’s main story, however, the information you get from completing them is crucial to solving the game’s mystery and putting an end to the plague once and for all.

You can also choose between several thrilling game endings depending on your actions. So, if you are looking for a Souls-like adventure, dive deeper in the game, fight your way through swarms of gruesome enemies, add powers to your own ability set, and you will slowly recover your memories and figure out what has caused the outbreak.
