The RPG Files: The RPG Files: Operencia: The Stolen Sun Review

Operencia: The Stolen Sun by Zen Studios is a throwback first-person turn-based dungeon crawler that seeks to add some modern polish to an older, underutilized formula of trying to put the player into a dungeon themselves, rather than controlling a character in the third person.  While retro-styled games are definitely a popular design choice, this one doesn’t see much in the way of use.  Does it still hold up?  Let’s find out in our review of Operencia: The Stolen Sun.
[...]
Overall, Operencia: The Stolen Sun hits all the right points for a great, immersive RPG.  The game is great fun to play, and exploring each dungeon, taking in the areas and listening to the characters banter with each other sucks you into the world.  While it is definitely a niche game, those who enjoy it will definitely be well served to pick up Operencia and give it a go.


Pros

• Characters & narrator provide backstory and insight
• Each dungeon's environment is beautifully done
• Puzzles & secrets reward curiosity and exploration

Cons

• Interface could use some polish
• Row system in combat feels inconsequential

Score: 8.5 / 10.0
