Character creation
After a short tutorial, players get access to a reasonably robust character creator. You can choose between a knight, a thief or a magical user. The seven playable characters earn points for upgrading three distinct skill trees, learning spells and powerful attacks along the way. You can also earn XP to improve stats and equip better weapons.
Depending on the path chosen, a warrior ends up completely differently. For example, Jóska can transform into a killer with a penchant for poison or a ranged fighter with access to medium healing spells. New pieces of armor and weapons are constantly dropping, so party gear tends to be swapped out frequently. Operencia contains a significant amount of loot. But few actively affect combat in any noticeable way beyond a trivial stat boost. So it becomes a matter of choosing the strongest object and moving on. On the contrary, the potion-making system is a delight.
Riddles
Those who are used to first-person dungeon crawlers should feel comfortable with Operencia’s controls, especially once the more open and consequently less precise introductory area is finished. The fight is interrupted by underground puzzles. In general, you can find solutions for these puzzles by reading a recently discovered journal entry or by observing the environment. Periodically, you can get special items that help complete puzzles and unlock closed passages. Once the world map is available, you will be able to revisit previously explored dungeons to discover new loot. Operencia’s puzzles are the most rewarding part of the adventure.
