A great game held back by a major oversight. I played the demo for this game and really enjoyed it, the perspective, intreresting puzzles and exploration were great. The fights were a bit tough but I imagined I would be able to revisit this area and grind some levels before heading to the next. And there is the major flaw in this game, you cannot grind, you will always be a low level because there is no way to build …

I hate to be a single issue voter, but multiple things for the game's critical path are hidden in secret areas? Nope! That's not where that goes. Secrets, and I get that this can be tricky, are for secret things. Core progression is the stuff that everyone is supposed to hit. If you put your core progression in your secrets, what you are doing is wasting half your audience's time and making the other half's secret …

I am happy to give Operencia: The stolen sun the thumbs up. I thoroughly enjoyed the story, which is loosely based on Hungarian/Slavic folklore, and the challenging puzzles and fights. That being said, Operencia is not a game for everyone, so let's dive into the good and bad and see what's up with it. The GOOD: 1. The Story and the world - the story is great, with voice-acted dialogue and very high stakes. The Sun …

Recommended, but only barely. I really wanted to love Operencia. The world is beautiful, the environments stay fresh throughout the game, and the use of Central European folklore gives it a unique identity. The story and characters kept me invested from beginning to end, and exploring each new area was always exciting. Unfortunately, the gameplay doesn't quite keep up. Combat is functional but very basic. Once …

TL;DR: Recommended, but with significant reservations. Pros: - Beautiful and varied environments and effects - Engaging, tactical combat - Plenty of access to loot that helps you customize your characters - Generally satisfying boss battles - Great soundtrack - Mechanically, it is a big plus that you can re-specialize your characters at will, even if it is pretty ridiculous - While the game is linear, the ability to …

69% of the 192 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Operencia: The Stolen Sun. The complaint that keeps coming up: no grinding for XP can lead to unwinnable fights. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Alas, some buried treasure!" This game starts off in promising fashion with a well put together tutorial that has you playing a party of highly experienced characters through a short adventure so you can get a bit of background to the game and familiarise yourself with the controls and gameplay. You then roll up your own character, choosing from either warrior, hunter or mage classes, and after a short intro, find yourself exploring a mythical sunken castle. You find your first companion…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is quite boring. The dialogue becomes insufferable as it contains the modern day snark that plagues modern games these days.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Playing on the harder difficulty, it's clear to me that some of these fights are not balanced appropriately. I'm at a point in the game where I'm forced to fight a boss (Brekt I think his name is) but my party simply cannot win the fight without getting very lucky. It's not like there's a great amount of strategic depth to the game, there's no strategy I 'haven't thought to try'. It's simply a numbers and dice situation where I'm going to lose 9 out of 10 times, through no fault of my own.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like games like Legends of Grimrock, this game is for you. It's better than Grimrock in every aspect: - graphics - great puzzles - characters development - story line Regarding the review where guy told he could not grind and eventually stuck with the boss he can't defeat. You can ALWAYS respec all of your chars and try new tactics. If you stuck and can't defeat enemy, just go to the camp and try different chararacters/skills combinations. You'll succeed eventually. I bought this game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a great fan of the Etrian Odyssey series for the Nintendo DS/3DS, I was looking for a similar experience on the PC. To be short: Operencia is not on the same level in terms of the total experience/package. The purchase of Operencia was also fueled by wanting to check out other works of Zen Studios, as I'm a great fan of their high quality Zen Pinball games. Operencia is not a bad game, but I would never recommend it to anybody when they would ask for a dungeon crawling experience. This is…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thank you for this game! It delivered well everything that was promised: beautiful dungeons, cool classic but varied puzzles, great soundtrack and a well balanced challenge in an overall good story. The big strength I see are : - The fully flexible respec/restat at any point of the game. It erases the stress of "I can't try this because if it's ♥♥♥♥ i'll have to wait 5h before I can change it, if I can at all" of other games. I had a lot of fun changing comps and builds. - The potion system is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a great shame but I have no choice but to give this game a thumbs down even though I love the folklore it's based on. The game is extremely linear which wouldn't necessarily be a problem in itself but since there is no way to grind and level up your character, certain fights can be unwinnable as there is no way to do quests or gain XP even if you re-spec your characters (which is a silly game mechanic anyway).
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Operencia: The Stolen Sun is doing a good job in bringing the old-school dungeon crawling experience into modern gaming. It’s missing side quests and more RPG depth regarding character building, but all the in-game levels and whole world creation are good and unique enough to honestly recommend this game to all the RPG fans. Pros: Interesting setting inspired by Hungarian (mostly) mythology, Great design of all 12 in-game levels, Possibility to customize difficulty with 4 different settings,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is such a chore to play, not due to the gameplay. But the ungodly awful writing, how do adult humans write this without cringing. It's a drpg for christ's sake, nobody besides grown men and women are gonna play this, what is this 5 year old writing level. I've seen better writing in cartoon network. Also, whatever I played in the prologue was some insanely basic sleep inducing gameplay, barely appealing. I wish I played the demo instead of buying this. Edit: Nvm, I tried a lot more…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is fun and I hate to give it a thumb down, but I've got 2 hours in the game at this point and somehow managed to get softlocked two times. The first was in the underwater dungeon - I walked into a square with a pillar and got stuck between two squares. I had to reset. The second was in the spider forest just after killing the queen. I walked into a square that the map said was walkable, but I got stuck inside some giant spider egg next to some firewood. Again, softlocked and had to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I give up. I'd have to rate the "normal" difficulty on this game as "insanely impossible". I love this sort of game, and and usually great an maximizing my skills and leveling, but this is just atrocious. The devs don't seem to have wanted to waste money on balancing at all. As an example, it's not uncommon to *ambush* an enemy, yet still have them wipe out your party on their FIRST attack (that's assuming you gathered all the secrets on the way, and effectively "over-leveled"). Just…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Seems fun at first. The longer you go, the more the bad game design decisions and slow animations will bug you.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No grinding whatsoever, so things to discover and monsters to kill MUST be done in precise succession. Puzzles do not bring anything fun to the game. Some monsters are so OP, the fights becomes too long and too painful to bear. Randomization in fight are too ... random: you can kill a boss in 1 shot or it takes dozens and dozens of turns to do it. Truly not fun, and I started to play RPGs when Wizardry I came out in the 80s.... so so much for the so called "old-school".
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a shame. The game has nice graphics, good engine, the banter is nice... but the game balance is really, really ♥♥♥♥♥♥. This needs some serious work.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game starts off fairly fun, very linear, more like Legend of Grimrock. The farther in the story you get, the more laborious the journey becomes. Characters repeat the same obnoxious lines, several are very annoying and the majority of the voice acting is brutal. Lots of loot but not a lot of improvement, even when fighting tough battles. Enemies are very tough at times, but it is not about skill or technique but sluggishly bogging through battle after battle of the exact same enemy that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →VR controls are an absolute ergonomic desaster. The game is unplayable in VR because of this. It seems there was no quality assurance and public testing of the VR feature. I would come back if this is fixed.

Combat is functional but very basic. Once you've found a strategy that works, there's little reason to experiment. I also…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really wish there was neutral stance, it's neither bad or particularly good. At first I was enjoying the game, until I meet the "spawners". It's an enemy that spawns infinitely, more or less. There can be one left and the next time you get to play you're facing 6 or 7 of them. I my first play-through I fought a group of those for over 2 hours, I kept getting unlucky with the timing to kill them all at once. But that was just one of the annoyances. It nothing major and once I realise you can…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a terrible game, but the combat, resting/firewood system, and lack of resources just make your characters feel incredibly weak when clearing all the mobs from the later dungeons, yet somehow the bosses are still pushovers. I'd only recommend this game if you HAVEN'T already gotten everything you can out of Legend of Grimrock 1 & 2. Frankly, those games do what this game is attempting, but 10x better. I will say the game is very competently voice acted and there's still fun to be had,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is very very Pretty, but by about half way through the game, it is a slog to play. The demo was the best level of the game. Combat has frustrating enemies immune to most of your higher abilities, your normal attacks do bugger all damage. It is repetitive and although I really wanted to like this game, it is Beautiful Boredom. I may come back to it once I forget how frustrating it is.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First Impressions and Early Gameplay Operencia: The Stolen Sun makes a strong initial impression, presenting itself as a classic dungeon crawler with polished visuals and a turn-based combat system. The game's interface allows for camera rotation with the mouse, enhancing the sense of exploration. Early on, the game introduces a story that unfolds gradually, and the battles are balanced with an appropriate level of difficulty. In the beginning, you control a party of two characters,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is an absolute gem. I haven't seen a REALLY good dungeon crawler since Grimrocks - and this is it. Finally! However, the "mandatory" Grimrock comparison isn't really valid. In fact, tile-based movement is just about the only thing Operencia has in common with these two masterpieces. Which doesn't stop it from being a masterpiece in its own right, as far as I'm concerned. So, what do we have here? Exploration and looks. So, movement is tile-based. But the camera is completely free:…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loved it! It was a joy to explore the great looking dungeons listening to the amazing soundtrack. I usually have an aversion to Unreal graphics but this is a very high quality work giving it a very atmospheric feeling. Gameplay was well paced with a good mix of combat, puzzles and story. Felt like the game was well balanced and in never felt annoyed if I built a character "wrong" because of the great QOL feature of respeccing anytime without a cost. One thing that took a little longer was to…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Im leaning towards positive because the game is overall great... but if you are getting it because of VR maybe take pause. 100% of my gameplay was in VR. The game has great graphics, great performance, the story is nice and entertaining, the voice acting is awesome, characters are kinda likable and enemies are greatly designed. Played with an xbox controller and it worked perfectly, the turn based gameplay, and grid like movement, helps the control feel perfectly fine, VR gives a great sense…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gameplay: Its what can be expected from a grid based dungeon crawler. If your looking for more modern looking take on the old Bard's Tales and TSR D&D titles this is like those. The puzzles and challenges are rather simple and easy to get through. Combat is similarly easy to sort out and will have you breezing through most of the encounters in short order. Visuals/Art: The design and art style is well done, everything seems to fit together and works well. It uses a mix of cut-paper style…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I could barely play. I was expecting somethingt like Legends of Grimrock, but I don't understand the choice to allow free-camera movement if the actual movement is grid-based. The combat is a very uninspiring turn-based RPG Maker style, and the very first puzzle is already quite boring. The voice-acting itself is quite good, but voices don't match the characters. For example, a clearly old white-bearded druid has the voice of man in their 20s.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I usually don't write reviews, but I am so frustrated with the game, that I try to get closure by rating it badly (yeah, I admit it feels like "oh he didn't make it, now he's whining in the internet how unfair everything is. It is exactly that :-D). The game is actually quite good. I like the riddles, I like the character development, battles are also okay, all of them doable- only in the last area they get a little bit unpredictable and you need some luck and you should save the game quite…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So I just finished Operencia: The Stolen Sun and I enjoyed every moment with it. It is a turn-based dungeon crawling RPG with great writing, excellent voice acting, and beautiful graphics. It can be a bit janky but nothing off-putting. @zenstudios.bsky.social made a game with love and it shows.
positive · AI labelView post →I had a problem with a puzzle that required better reflexes than I have. Tried and tried. I wrote to the developers and asked for a fix and got responses and was then able to get to the other side of the puzzle This is not an easy game and I have needed to use a walkthrough a number of times. But I do like the game and recommend it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While there are things to like, the pacing of this game is so bad as to ruin everything else. Combat animations are slow, monsters have way too much HP, and attacks do too little damage. The result was combat being soooo slow (and not strategic / challenging, just slooooow), that there was no way I wanted to keep playing after a few hours.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Completely unbalanced.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Doesn't properly detect Index controllers, well sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's completely unacceptable that the extremely lazy devs haven't had enough brain power combined to figure out something very simple like adding Index controller support. Have to refund this garbage. A pity though, when my controllers occasionally worked, the game was kinda fun. Sigh. Btw, even using a GTX 1080, I got solid 90 fps using Index res 200%, so performance and image quality are really awesome -…

As long as you explore everything and discover all secrets you can get max level. And you can get upgrades to eventually be able to have 4 healing potions, so reviews saying you are limited to one are not correct. I like that you can respec easily…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a decent game in its genre. If you like this genre, go for it. Especially if it is on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A mostly, old school party based, dungeon crawler in the vein of Bard’s Tale, Wizardry, Might and Magic, etc. For those who aren’t super old, the most similar game that is somewhat newer would be The Legend of Grimrock, though this has turn based combat. This is a more modern take on the genre though, with the ability to look any direction, smooth movement and a much more story and character focused game. Your character and party will often interject, commenting on dungeon features, story…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Games not fun. Story is okayish, if you build wrong you just lose combat. Who the ♥♥♥♥ thought summoners was a good idea? Fights you can never win because mobs keep spawning, or fighting two golems at once when your power level isn't even close to good enough. Okay game, bad balance.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was a hard choice - thumbs up or thumbs down, but in the end, I had to go with thumbs down for the following reasons. Game play is quite repetitive. Many of the puzzles require going to the online forums to figure them out or you are stuck, especially with the final section. The last battle is too difficult. I finally managed to get through it after 5 tries and reading multiple forums on it, but where's the fun in that.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought it to play in VR. This is NOT adapted to VR: while you can look any direction, you can only walk 90degree squares. And when you rotate IRL, interface stays where it was. So my final encounter was where enemies was in front, and my interface was 180degrees at back. Had to turn 180 to pick actions, recenter didn't do anything too. 0 stars out of 5, this is NOT a VR game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish I had bought this game when it was new because I would have loved the opportunity to help it sell better. This game is an absolute gem! VASTLY UNDERRATED! It looks beautiful, has professional voice acting with cute banter between the heroes, and great classic first person dungeon crawler gameplay. EXTREMELY RECOMMEND!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I feel like this piece is one of the very few that faithfully carries on the spirit of the fabled golden age of blobbers (the late '90s and early 2000s), while bringing something of its own on top of that. Many recent titles — unfortunately, I'd even say the majority of them — simply fail to present a solid foundation, or steer too far away for whatever reason, ending up convoluted or dumbed down in one or more key features. If you are like me and long for another inspired title such as Eye…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I picked up this game during a sale without really knowing what to expect. The only thing I knew was that it was a dungeon crawler, and that's usually enough to get my attention since I love the genre. My first impression wasn't great. The prologue nearly made me press Alt+F4 and forget about the game entirely. Thankfully, I decided to give it a chance. Little by little, the game started to grow on me and become more interesting. By the time I reached the Tomb of Réka, I was completely…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really not a fan of this at all. Not being able to create your character until after the rather lengthy prologue is a great example of how poorly thought out the game is. Another example is that I'd not seen one single solitary Mana potion after around 20 battles, and thus ability experimentation is discouraged in the worst way possible. Let's throw another example in there to finish it off - the enemies move in real time, thus totally killing the turn based feel. Constant chatter which…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Operencia is certainly something. There's a lot going on here and most of it ranges from middling to bad, but before going into that I'll say that the game looks not bad, and the some of the gameplay ideas they're working with could work to help make a fun video game if they were used properly. Part of what makes dungeon crawlers like this work is secret hunting and while a good chunk of them are just "hey here's a chest with some cash and gear you might've already surpassed" there's a some…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Operencia: The Stolen Sun" isn't just a game, it's a journey into a vibrant and captivating world that immediately charms you from the moment you step into its mystical realms. From its utterly delightful presentation to its engaging gameplay, this title truly shines. One of the first things that grabs you is the sheer visual appeal. Operencia boasts a unique and stylized look, full of rich colors and fantastical architecture that feels plucked straight from the pages of a beloved fairytale.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great DRPG that is definitely a good entry point for people who are new to the genre. Voice acting, a decent enough story and good combat with no grinding as the amount of enemies in the world is limited with no random encounters. There are multiple difficulty adjusters from combat difficulty to auto mapping and more. Full play through is around 30ish hours as well which is pleasantly short compared to some others in the genre.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this on xbox years ago via gamepass and since it isn't on there anymore I saw it was pretty cheap so bought it to try to play it again. And after a few days back with it and with how poorly balanced the game is and how obtuse some of the puzzles can be I cannot recommend this game. Which is a shame because the stuff I remembered liking like the world, characters and metriodvania style backtracking work really well. But the terribly designed puzzles, dungeons, and fights especially late…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Somehow I got 39 out of 47 achievements unlocked despite never playing this game. Weird, right? Legit - bought it on sale, never played it before, and suddenly a bunch of saved games with 20 or so hours worth of time invested into them shows up. I don't know, I don't get it. So anyway, I played this for the FIRST TIME - and it's a buggy MESS. Combat feels slow when it should be quick. You can save at campfires, but otherwise you only save IF YOU QUIT THE GAME. I played for 4 hours and got…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is one of those that flew under the radar for me when it came out. I only really noticed it lately during one of Steams sales so I read some of the discussions and looked at non spoiler reviews. It seemed like it was something I'd like and for the sale price it was a bargain. At first I have to admit I didn't know what was going on.. it's not the traditional looking dungeon crawler given the first area has water above you on the ceiling. It wasn't until later where the group…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A must buy, but also a buy during sale. A game with a well-crafted core and with an awful lot of rough edges. Solid combat and exploration, good puzzles and downright gorgeous visuals. The main story is loosely cobbled together from over a dozen different myths and fairy tales, so don't expect too much of it, or of the companion characters who spend most of the time bickering instead of developing their personality or backstory. The world is colourful and has many cool things for the player…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game lets you pick whether the single character you can create is a Warrior, Ranger, or Sorcerer. I had to return the game for that reason. It's just entirely too basic to be entertaining. I expected to create a party with a variety of classes that could fill different roles. I expected something that improved on Eye of the Beholder. Instead, most of your party will always consist of NPCs. With only three classes in total, each of which fills a required role in combat, there are only…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great dungeon crawler! The game motivated me enough to 100% it. It's a bit short but on the other hand it doesn't overstay its welcome. It's also a tad bit on the easy side (played on hard) if you're familiar with the genre and there are some balancing issues (too many enemies are resistant/immune to poison for example) but it's a fun time, especially if you can get it on sale. As usual with dungeon crawlers don't expect good writing or a good story, both of these things are very meh.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is quite a bit of good about Operencia: Stolen Sun....and some not so good. The best of the game is its fantasy setting and decent presentation visually. Its a good game to escape into with a pleasant, although somewhat linear, story based primarily on European folk mythology. There are no typical RPG elements such as dialogue choices or character creation. All dialogue is linear and scripted. There are 7 set characters comprising staples such as Rogue, Tank, Magician etc. 4 of these can…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know that this has grabbed me well enough to finish, but after 10 hours I'd certainly recommend it: * The Hungarian mythos is refreshing and well-done; reminds me of some of Steven Brust's writings. * Characters are engagingly written; I find myself looking forward to the next bit of campfire dialog. * Decent mechanical fusion of first-person real-time blobber with turn-based separate-screen combat. * I'm not hugely fond of the skill selection & extremely fine-grained stat system, but…
