Zen Studios’ modern homage to classic first-person dungeon-crawlers takes you to the land of Operencia, an unconventional fantasy world inspired by a faraway land referenced in countless Central European folktales. An old-school turn-based battle system combines with inspiration from unexplored mythology to offer an RPG experience that feels unique yet also familiar.
Operencia is home to an intriguing mix of unexplored mythology and fantastical versions of actual historical locations (e.g., Deva Fortress, Balvanyos) and characters (e.g., Attila, Seven Chieftains of the Magyars), all coming together to form one cohesive new gaming universe. Several of your own seven party members take influence from heroes of forgotten tales told hundreds of years ago, such as the brave knight Mezey and Sebastian the Dragon Slayer.
Along with a deeply strategic turn-based battle system full of spells and special skills to execute, tile-based movement encourages thorough exploration of each area. For added challenge, turn on Cartographer mode to plot out each of the 13 maps yourself. How many secrets will you find?
Breathtaking hand-drawn cutscenes and fabulous 2D character portraits bring the story to life in a style not easily compared to any other game. More than 30 colorful characters are fully voiced through top-tier performances authentic to the game’s Central European roots.

Decent game, amid lots of frustration
I saw someone describe the combat in this game as "swing-y", and that's the best word for it. The flow of combat can swing wildly, due to too many combat situations and abilities being based on RNG. Overall, this is a decent game with good production value. But all too often, the swinginess of combat makes it more frustrating than it needs to be. There's a fine line between a game being challenging and being outright unfair, and unfortunately, the game frequently leans towards the latter. Bosses (and a few regular enemies too) often have abilities for which the player's party have no defences or counters against: a lot of these abilities are status effects that essentially put PCs out of commission for a few turns. That's never a fun experience as a player, to not be able to do anything while PCs' turns get skipped over. Whether you find this game enjoyable or not will depend on your patience for dealing with frustration. Personally, I didn't feel the rest of the game was outstanding enough to make up for the annoyances of combat. IMHO there are better dungeon crawlers out there.
