A perfect introduction to Spiderweb

One of Spiderweb software's latest and newest entries to the series. Following a more "bioware" type model where you have an avatar and a small party of two fleshed out companions (which you can switch freely from a pool of five), you enter into the troubled world surrounding Avadon as a Hand of the Black Fortress. Like all Spiderweb titles, the strength is in writing and the world. Things never feel certain, and at times it is hard to tell if you are part of the problem or the solution. The simple UI allows for smooth gameplay and massive amounts of exploration. I found the story compelling as we ask ourselves how much power would we give to an agency to make us feel safe? When does the enforcement of law and order cross over into evil? Overall, a great experience, and I highly recommend this as an entry point into PC RPGs and Spiderweb Software.

A solid CRPG with tactical gameplay

Avadon is a homage to isometric rpg's that predate Baldur's Gate and the grand era of Black Isle. However it does improve and update on those mechanics in that it gives the player many more options on how to interact with them. The graphics are simple and often fail to convey atmosphere. This is due primarily to the matt colour choice and simplified palette. Many props are reused in multiple areas and so fail to give areas a distinct feeling, despite variations in layout. The character sprites however are well animated and move in a natural manner. The gameplay itself is strongly turnbased (even though you have the option to play without pause). However the strategic elements of combat mean that you will of necessity be leaving it as turn-based. Battles are varied enough and the game scales well. The game requires long term planning and not just battle strategy as bosses are often encountered near the end after normal mobs when resources are more scarce. Questing tends to be fairly linear and most sidequests can be completed alongside the main quest with little deviation from the main pathline. Only a few sidequests require additional exploration. The quests themselves are not very diverse yet are varied enough to not be repetitive. The characters are forgettable, and their individual stories not particularly interesting, which is a pity as it lead to less player engagement as roleplaying is simplified. Something particularly irksome in an RPG. However the main quest is compelling and interesting. It uses choices that are often morally grey and explores how choices affect various groups in positive or negative ways. I'd recommend this game only to people who enjoy the genre itself it is not a game that lends itself to new players of the genre. It is mainly for those who require a nostalgia kick, or who are interested in seeing what narratives in games can be capable of

Fairly decent, with a few bugs

I've had moderate experiences with cRPG's to date and this one has me hooked like most usually do. I enjoy the story so far (I'm half way through as of writing this review) and the characters are developing decently. The combat system is really basic like any other so that's a good thing. I didn't have to get used to something specifically different for this game. My one problem is that it has a few game breaking bugs that I've encountered requiring me to start the game over. I'm not sure how wide spread the problem is, I've only seen a few others having it so hopefully it isn't going to be a big problem. Luckily they've always only happened about one to two hours into the game so starting over isn't as bad as it could be. Overall I'm having a good experience with this game, totally worth it.

Merely Adequate

I didn't find the game very engaging. I like the idea of a game that gives up graphics and glitz, but makes up for it with depth and imagination. Unfortunately, I didn't find much of either one--pretty much a by-the-numbers setting, plot and set of NPCs.

Okay, but not amazing

Though Avadon managed to pack in a lot of content for a reasonable price, I found myself less interested in the game as the story progressed. Simply put, I felt the writing (regarding plot/NPCs/world design) was not engaging and, in many ways, disappointingly shallow. The actual gameplay, however, was quite fun and, outside of some very poorly designed boss fights, allowed my party to "strut their stuff" and show off what made their classes (and specific class-build) unique. Overall, a decent experience but one that did not leave me wanting more.
