Just outside the gates of Avalon, a 12 years war realizes its climax, the uneasy alliance of seven western kingdoms created the Citadel of Avalon as a mighty fortress. But in the last eight months, the Citadel has become a city of refugees, a city under siege. The Sha'ahoul, under the banner of the Shaman Warlord Mithras, are waging a genocidal war against the Citadel. Take on the role of the Hero in a richly detailed world filled with hundreds of unique NPC`s, monsters ripped from ancient lore, and invading nomadic hordes.

IT'S BEEN 20 YEARS. WILL IT RUN?

We are happy to bring back to life the "Siege of Avalon: Anthology". The game received its portion of technical care and now runs on modern operating systems without any extra shenanigans.

This game is a beautiful mess

I have so much nostalgia wrapped up in this game, it was an absolute joy to hear about it being released on GOG! It was an instabuy for me as soon as it came out here. Just installed it and played through the first chapter, and it runs perfectly on my Windows 10 machine. The gameplay itself is roughly what you'd expect from a Diablo clone, except it has a lot more plot and character development. It's very text heavy, which may be a turn off for some, but the text is all very well written. This game also has major balance issues, and enemies scale in weird ways, particularly as you use more of your training points to improve your character. It's still fun though, whether you're picking off targets as a scout, blowing enemies up as a mage, or plowing into hordes of foes as a fighter. It's also fun to customize your equipment. Armor is layered on, with individual pieces filling specific slots on your character, and it actually shows up on your character model as you run around the keep. The developers put a lot of attention into lore here, particularly with the enemies you're fighting. There's even a bit where you get to talk to them, and you find they're every bit as human as your allies are. Overall, a great experience if you like slash and hack type games with a copious helping of story. 4/5 would definitely recommend.

There is no progress preventing bug

Ok, what needs to be addressed first is that there is no progress preventing bug in the first chapter. The game is just very particular about what you need to do to progress in the main quest, so if the boulder is still there and the passage is still blocked, it's because you haven't talked to someone, haven't visited the passage below the village church, or haven't had the enemy letters translated. And so it is with every main quest in this game. If nothing's happening, you haven't done something or talked to someone. That said, this game is like a crossover between diablo and baldur's gate. If diablo was way harder and baldur's gate had no pause button so you could actually order your guys or target a guy that's sprinting at you. (yeah, don't expect to run away from enemies). The story is pretty standard (castle attacked by evil dudes whose only vocation in life is evil) but has interesting bits and at least one or two actually deeper or more clever story bits. Or at least more clever compared to the usual fantasy rpg stuff. And there's a ton of text in the game, it doesn't market itself as "interactive book" for no reason. The downside is that the game is confusing as heck and very cryptic. It's like they tell you "go talk to this guy" and you have to figure out where that guy is on your own on several large-ish maps of the castle area. The worst one was "there's a corpse somewhere between here and the stronghold and you need to find it" in an area of 16 maps. Pretty frustrating. Also, the combat is weird. Your companions are dumb and frail. You can't pause the game so don't bother giving them orders in the middle of the very hectic combat. But the plus side is that stealth can help you a lot and magic is strong too. The game is not exactly clear about its own stats though. So basically if you don't shy away from a walkthrough when you're stuck and if you read up on what stats do then you can have a reasonably enjoyable experience :D

Childhood Nostalgia

I can't believe it, instant buy for me! Haven't tried the GOG version, so tread carefully. When this game first came out, its first (of 6) chapter was released for 9,99 € and I was hooked. Cool story and RPG elements, challenging at times. Use the X key to see your character whenever he is covered by walls and not visible. Do not spend all your points immediately, choose your items wisely, they will have an impact on your fighting capabilities, try luring enemies one at a time until you are strong enough. Have fun!

My first indepth experience

Siege of Avalon is unique. A real role playing game were you are stuck in a besieged Castle. You connect to people. You can feel the danger. You are on tool in the defensive. You will lose friends. I can only highly recommend it - but you have to know that this is a game were you have to read. No voice actors. But that diminish the fun not at all. A small pearl out there. I can still remember these times when I couldn't wait to continue. Were my dreams continued to play. Nice time:)

Great game - even after 21 years

When Siege of Avalon was released back in 2000 it was probably the buggiest game I ever played. And like many others I still loved it. The characters, the story and the atmosphere as well as a action-heavy real time combat really made the game stick out. The focus is on the story was rare back than (compared to games like Diablo II) and it did a pretty good job at that. And in the end, all the bugs that would have triggered a shitstorm nowadays back then led to great communities, some like the soamigos.de exist up until today. 5/5 recommendation, you should buy!
