Venetica Review

RPG Codex is offering up the latest review of Deck 13's Venetica, and while they don't provide any type of score, it's obvious that they were fairly impressed with the adventurized action RPG. Their closing paragraphs:
Venetica is a solid Action RPG and a lot of fun to play. It does have some interesting premises, but especially the Adventure elements are underdeveloped and don't add that much to the game, since the occasions where you encounter them can be counted on one hand. The story and combat are the meat of the game, and it manages to stay exciting right until the end.

If you like action RPGs, don't mind a few adventure elements and can live without Choice & Consequence and deep character development, this game is well worth your money. If you expected choices like in The Witcher, freeform exploration like in the Gothic series, or a complex roleplaying system with lots of stats and skills, this isn't your type of game. I found it to be thoroughly enjoyable and "good for what it is".
