Avernum is the Empire’s underground penal colony. There, those who are uncomfortable for the ruling Regime are thrown in via magical portal to never be heard from again. You have been exiled to the dark, volcanic pits of Avernum, filled with foul monsters, constant warfare, and thousands upon thousands of your fellow prisoners. This is your punishment for not fitting in, for daring to speak your mind against the powers that be. You have a choice: accept your fate and die in this cold, dank underworld or take up arms against the tyrant who stripped you of your life, your status, your freedom. Will you be the first to escape Avernum?

DISCLAIMER:
This review is only based on graphics issue I'm having. I'd love to give this game a chance, but at the current state of events I simply can't due to vision impairment.
This game is made in very low resolution. Period. There's no scaling option built in making the playfield take small section in the middle of the scren and being a massive strain to my eyes. Running multiple screen setup I will not let any game change my primary screen resolution forcing me to skip this one, which I'm extremely sad about.
These torturous Avernum games are the same torture of struggling to see the tiny 2 pixel characters without a microscope while dying and reloading the game every 10 minutes in an endless loop of agony.
The player misses at least 95% of all attacks melee, ranged and magic while getting hit by 100% of enemy attacks including acid spray that can wipe out a party in 1 or 2 turns. The monsters never miss, they are nearly impossible to ever hit, and they have literally thousands of hitpoints so it takes around 30 minutes to kill one group if you don't die in an endless loop of attack - miss - get hit - heal - get burned by acid or fire - then attack again and miss - get hit - etc.
I play my other games with no reloading and enjoy the immersion. But in Avernum your party gets wiped out over & over & over & over so you reload or uninstall - only 2 choices.
The developers hate the player and want to torture us for buying these Avernum torture games. They are not really games cause you are are not allowed to play them.
This port has been perverted by the devs.
It is HORRIBLY UNBALANCED, even on the Easy setting.
The "Unbalanced" gameplay happens towards the middle of the game, so I do not think I will be able to get a refund brcause I have so many hours playing.
This is true for ALL versions, v1 - 6. ALL OF THEM IMPOSSIBLE towards the middle of each game.
THIS IS ROBBERY - PLAIN AND SIMPLE
BAIT AND SWITCH
SHAME ON YOU, SPIDERWEB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
