In Thyria you enter dreams to combat demons in this unique party-based RPG

I need of a new party-based RPG with dynamic exploration, turn-based combat and a fun gameplay loop? Thyria looks like a good one to pick up.

Thyria blends together exploring a colourful dynamic 2D isometric map, with turn-based battles where you enter the minds of cursed villagers to attempt to purge their demons with your summoned guardians. There's a lot of freedom in how you approach this one with each play-through being different, and with you able to customize your team of guardians throughout the game.

Not just that, but there's a whole time-management part to this too with a day and night cycle where you mix between battling living creatures in the overworld and entering dreams.

More about it:

• Summon your Guardians and get into the minds of the cursed villagers. Explore the dreams to collect Soul Dusts, Inks and knowledge. Treat your patient to increase the rewards but also the many risks... Each Guardian will offer a range of spells, and unique abilities. Redouble your strategy and perseverance to overcome the living nightmares, which creep in the heart of the most obscure dreams.
• Exploration. Steer Thyria on a procedurally generated 2D isometric map with varied landscapes. Various places offer exchanges, gifts… but also deception and fights! Maintain an inventory of relics that can optimize (or reduce…) the end of quest rewards. Face the living nightmares on the map using Thyria's arsenal, which will expand as the adventure unfolds. Always keep an eye on the clock to best manage the day / night cycles, the visibility and behavior of nightmares being greatly impacted!
• The fights. Defy the demons of every dream by deploying your Guardians, learn about their strengths and weaknesses, and use strategy to defeat the toughest monsters. The management of time, resources and individual resources will be the key to success!
• The laboratory. Learn how to merge two Soul Jewels and summon new Guardians! Each adventure will be different depending on your team, and each fight can be approached differently. Customize each Guardian: choose and combine spells before assigning them to the Guardian. Choose your spells before assigning them to the Guardian. Skill combinations increase the strategic aspect of each fight, it's up to you to find the right balance.
