Evaluation

The Thaumaturge launched on PC on March 4, 2024, and expanded to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on December 4, 2024. Since launch, the developer has maintained steady post-launch support: a major Patch 1.1 in May 2024 added a full Polish dubbing, Patch 1.1.1 in July 2024 improved performance and lowered system requirements, Patch 1.1.2 in February 2026 added new visual filter options, and the most recent Patch 1.2.0 on August 12, 2026 introduced an auto-battle feature for the story difficulty setting along with rendering improvements and story bug fixes. The clearest signals about future content come from two player surveys published by Fool's Theory and 11 bit studios in 2026. On March 23, 2026, the team published a survey collecting community interest in IP expansion — covering potential DLCs, sequels, and other media formats. On May 14, 2026, a follow-up survey was posted explicitly asking how players would envision a potential DLC. These are structured, direct solicitations of player input on future paid content, not vague marketing. They indicate the developer is actively exploring whether and how to expand the game with additional content. No specific DLC beyond the launch-day soundtrack has been announced or listed as unreleased on the store, and no release date or named expansion has been committed to. However, the developer's own framing of their surveys around "potential DLC" is a clear communication that additional content is under active consideration. The developer remains engaged with the game, as evidenced by the August 2026 patch.

About this game

 

A hero with a flaw

Wiktor Szulski is a thaumaturge, a master of mystical arts, who can peer into the hearts and minds of others, uncovering their deepest emotions, desires, and secrets. However, his powers also feed into his flaw of pride, which can present him with various opportunities or lead to negative consequences.

Untold mysteries waiting to be revealed

No secret or intrigue is safe when the thaumaturge is around. Your unique abilities will give you a great edge in solving detective investigations, becoming a savvy socialite or even dealing with the criminal underground. Explore the world using Wiktor’s perception, seeking personal secrets hidden in objects, that provide different perspectives on events that may seem obvious at first glance.

 

Taming mythical creatures

As a thaumaturge, you draw your power from the ability to summon salutors – mystical, folklore-inspired demons that inhabit the ethereal realm. Use their powers to manipulate your foes, sway the minds of allies, and fight opponents in turn-based tactical combat.

Unique turn-based combat

Engage in deep, tactical combat against various opponents – some physical, others more elusive. Wiktor's thaumaturgical abilities let you bend the rules of reality, summoning demons to unleash powerful attacks or gain strategic advantages.

 

A rich gallery of characters

The early 20th-century Warsaw is a multicultural metropolis with inhabitants from all walks of life. Among them, you’ll meet historical figures like the monk Rasputin or Tsar Nicholas II. The story also introduces you to a gallery of characters connected to Wiktor’s troubled past such as his well-versed sister Ligia or Abaurcy, a childhood friend who turned to a life of crime.

Features:

·       Play an isometric RPG in which your choices will shape the final outcome of the story.

·       Use your unique skills to influence and manipulate other characters.

·       Tame the power of folklore-inspired demons called the salutors to gain an advantage when exploring the world and bringing adversaries to their knees.

·       Experience unique turn-based combat and defeat your foes using both the physical attacks and skills of the tamed salutors.

·       Meet a rich gallery of characters from the early 20th-century Warsaw.
