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.

    Amazing game. Finished it 100% inc. Secrets. Highly recommended. Also interface was pretty good for me. Its hard to complain about it. Its clean, simple, functional and not missing anything.

    Row system dont really exist as we dont have formations but I admit i would love to put my mage in rear formation ;)

    Also I would like to add the screen shots dont give this game justice. Its pretty impressive visually. Everything is very polished.

    This one is purchased in the Epic Games Store for me, and waiting for me to play it. Definitely on my list, the visuals drew me in, and I made an impulse buy. Very good looking game. Glad to hear I made the right decision!

    Man, I really enjoyed some of those old dungeon crawlers. In one if you went without food and water you kept fainting. The other, after beating the big bad, they offered you has stuff and his job. :)

    For me it's Epic Exclusive "no buy". If it would have been offered here (https://itch.io) or here (https://www.gog.com), or Steam, I would have added it to a list. But here's a free bump because it looks cool enough.



    You can purchase the game from Microsoft Store and connect to XBOX Live to play. That's what I do.

    Never liked Steam/Valve. Not since it's inception. Always saw them as a superficial middleman adding lag and cost yet calling it convenience. I'm sure it's perfectly suitable for the masses who can't find games or don't understand torrenting.

    Seriously.  Who knew!  Steam, GOG, Even the Epic Store are around for those people that don't know how to steal games.  I thought they were businesses.  Silly me, Them Damn Masses.  So instead of the developer getting something from Steam I guess your idea is to just steal the game by torrenting it.

    I'm just not into a single player dungeon crawler but i did go check out Epic store.Not much there,nothing i want to play.World Warz bored me in about 1 minute.Have often looked at Metro Exodus just not sure.

    Other than that most of the games are "coming soon" or pre purchase.

    So it looks like it will take a while for Epic to build a decent sized portfolio of games.Guess ill just play some Atlas until something catches my eye.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    Seems to me this game would benefit greatly from some VR luuurve !!! The grid system lends itself perfectly to teleport motion, so sickies are auto catered for, and smooth loco demanders such as myself actually wouldn't mind grid motion in this situation. Ah the good old days of Bards Tale :):)

      Hmm I have no bandwagon , its just my preference i have 3 Steam accts with over 3k games(mine, My sons , and promotional  for game give away that i use here frequently) in all , its my preffered digital platform , Now all communities have some toxicity , your response is evidence of that here , as far as Steam caommunity , if you take the time to follow certain communities that share your interest there are some great social groups for every genre available , also some really relaible Curators and reviewers .. Where Epic , has well none of that all ..

    I enjoyed the first level, but had serious motion sickness after... Going to try to continue slowly, but bleh.

    LOL it is their loss as well now is it not? If people do not buy the game for whatever reason then that is a lost sale...does not matter what cut they are getting if 0 is paid on a no sale now does it?
