THOTH is a top-down twin-stick shooter played solo or with a friend in local co-op. You navigate compact arenas, aim and fire at enemies, and avoid being touched as you work through each stage.
Stages are handcrafted around enemy combinations and puzzle-like challenges that call for careful positioning, timing, and movement. A distinctive twist is that enemies can remain in motion and dangerous after their health is depleted, so shooting them does not necessarily clear your path.
As you advance, the game introduces new enemy arrangements, mechanics, environmental challenges, and bosses. Its colorful abstract shapes and electronic soundtrack accompany the arcade-style action.
Positive reviews often praise THOTH's inventive take on twin-stick shooting and its carefully designed arenas, where success depends on strategy as well as quick movement. Several also appreciate its minimalist visual style and distinctive electronic soundtrack. Some describe the challenge as rewarding, while one reviewer mentions difficulty with the fast movement and aiming.
