Each of your heroes that join you on this adventure – in addition to the custom character you create at the start of the game – will each have their own unique talents and attacks, and you’ll come to rely on each of them as the difficulty of these encounters grows further into the adventure. In classic RPG party-based fashion, you may have to mix and match against certain enemy types to find that perfect attack blend to exploit an enemy’s weakness.

And then there’s the story and lore that has all the right hooks in place to bring you along on this journey. Inspired by Central European mythology, Operencia’s story involves the Sun King Napkiraly being abducted, leaving the land of Operencia in a state of perpetual darkness. Sounds ominous (I love it) and it’s up to our heroes to save the day. Each of the characters you meet along this journey will each offer unique perspectives. Sometimes these interactions will play off one another depending on who your activity party members are, throughout the game helping you relate to your adventurer’s goals and desires.
