Venetica- glorious old school eurojank a
Sometime in the renaissance, a village in the mountains overlooking Venice is having a mid-summer feast. Local beauty Scarlett is seeing her beloved off to become a knight, when the village is attacked by masked assassins. Scarlett picks up a weapon to defend her village, and sees her beloved die. Then she is visited by Death and told it's her mission to find a discarded balde that can kill ghosts, and use it to stop a cabal of necromancers who seek to usurp Death itself. Thus begins your journey to, and across, the city of Venice. It's a 3rd person action-RPG, with combat most reminiscent of Witcher 1- input your next attack at the end of the animation to trigger a combo with a damage multiplier. You also need to switch to your Moonblade (the sickle bit of death's scythe) to do damage to some otherwordly enemy types. Scarlett also gets to go into Death's realm a la Soul Reaver for short periods of time- this is sometimes needed to find portals to move around obstacles and solve puzzles. There seems to be a morality system tied to your dialogue choices, but I'm not quite sure how instrumental it is to the game. The game is based on a tabletop RPG, so some of the skills can be a bit clunky- you need to be trained to block for each weapon, and using the block isn't a dedicated block button, but your skill key. But rolling mostly works, except for one boss fight, which I think requires the spear block. Game can be clunky, and I've had some bugs where level geometry wouldn't load, and this required a hard restart; but otherwise, it playes well, and it's definitely a curio of its age. The story and the art direction in Venice are quite nice, despite its age, so I'd recommend this one, if you enjoyed Witcher 1
