Zen Studios’ modern homage to classic first-person dungeon-crawlers takes you to the land of Operencia, an unconventional fantasy world inspired by a faraway land referenced in countless Central European folktales. An old-school turn-based battle system combines with inspiration from unexplored mythology to offer an RPG experience that feels unique yet also familiar.
About the story
An unknown force has abducted the Sun King Napkiraly, leaving Operencia in a state of perpetual darkness – and eventual doom. From hidden royal tombs and cursed castles to an ascent up the World Tree to reach the Copper Forest of the Land of the Gods, explore diverse settings throughout the far reaches of the land…and beyond. Each location boasts its own unique atmosphere, visual style, level design and puzzles, and many take place entirely outdoors.

By Chelsea BeardsmoreThere are many RPGs to choose from on the Nintendo Switch. With the likes of Octopath Traveller, Dragon Quest XI and Divinity: Original Sin 2, why should you play Operencia: The Stolen Sun? I’m here to tell you.
RPG Fan
By Joe CzopA decent dungeon crawl of light to moderate length which is fun overall and may have replay value, but lacking in consistency.
Chalgyr's Game Room
By Richard YorkOverall, Operencia does a lot of interesting and new things to the genre. Unfortunately this is bogged down by some infuriatingly annoying fights, cringey dialogue, and some very aggravating skills from enemies, it's easy to lose the magic that the game starts out with. The synthesis is a nice break from the tedium and frustration that can set in, which is a shame given how hopeful I was when I started. While I really did want to like Operencia: the Stolen Sun more than I did, that doesn't mean it's bad, just probably not what a veteran dungeon crawler would really drive for.

By Amirmehdi NamjooOperencia: The Stolen Sun is a great Dungeon Crawler that is reminiscent of old games of this genre and blends the charm of Dungeon Crawler with great art design, and magical Hungarian folklore. There are some problems in the pacing of the second half of the game, and the technical aspect of graphics is not very good, but Operencia: The Stolen Sun is still very enjoyable, and it’s a good choice for old-school fans of the genre.
