Thea: The Awakening survival strategy multiplayer added, coming to Linux and Mac

thea the awakening gets multiplaye -with new free expansion

A new #free MultiPrayer DLC for Thea: The Awakening #survival #strategy game released. It adds co-op campaign along with other new gameplay features.

Thea: The Awakening is a turn-based game steeped in Slavic myth and monstrosity set after an apocalyptic force known only as The Darkness has engulfed the world. There are Strigas and Baba Yagas aplenty, but there are no heroes, no monster slayers, and no great armies capable of banishing them. You have only a few hopeless and starving survivors who are desperately trying to stay alive. You are their last and only true hope!

The game combines turn-based strategic gameplay with the tension and grit of a roguelike, a captivating story you can uncover through a series of in-game events, and a unique combat system based on a complex card battle game.

The wide range of gameplay features allows players to proceed through the world of Thea the way they prefer. You can choose to stay in your village and build up defenses, or you can go out and explore the world. Conflicts can be resolved through assassination, stealth, diplomacy, hunting, and various other ways depending on the skills your people possess. Fighting is not your only solution to conflict!
