Serviceable yet shallow Fable clone
Venetica displays ambition and chooses a setting not so often used - Venice during its time of splendor, with a badass heroine, Scarlett, who has Death for father. Unfortunately, you can tell right at the beginning that the story will be lackluster, what with Scarlett's lover's ludicrous demise, kicking her desire for revenge, and Death ordering her to kill the Immortal Archonte but never bothering to explain anything. The game consists then of slaying 5 undead cartoonish villain, until you get the power to vanquish the Archonte himself. There's no real build-up or organic flow to this : everytime you need it Scarlett will meet her deceased lover in the Otherworld, being granted the new required power. The last section is quite farcical : you gather allies on the fly to depose the Doge and people you never met before trust Scarlett to lead the revolt just like that. This could be forgiven if Venetica had interesting gameplay. Alas, the AI is lacking (you can lure them one by one easily) and comboing works on the vast majority of ennemies. With the ability to resurrect several times and the trove of healing items, you barely need to dodge or block attacks. Sadly it makes many of the magic skills a moot point, since combat takes so few efforts. At best you must be wary of not being comboed to death yourself. Questing is your standard uninspired RPG fare, with a lot of slaying enemies and fetching stuff, sometimes copy pasted content- plus sometimes a bit too much of backtracking, in a Venice not that large to explore. From time to time Scarlett can make choices, leading to one of two endings - that, plus the three Guilds to join, is still a bit weak for replayability. Venetica does have its moment though, the voice acting is OK and on the whole it's simple- which can be refreshing. Still I fail to see how this can be viewed as a gem, at best,I think the game is mediocre.
