gamespot.com:

Thymesia sets itself apart from many other soulslike games by including a talent tree, which allows you to select from a wide collection of skills that can drastically alter your playstyle.

Deciding how to build your character is just as important as leveling up base attributes.

You'll receive one talent point every time you level up until level 25, meaning that you have no shortage of options at your disposal.
