Flawed memoriy of an old game - Avencast
Avencast: Rise of the Mage is one of the first games I remember playing on my first laptop, as a kid. Although "remember" might be a bit of a stretch, as, after replaying, I realised my memories left me with a better impression than the game, frankly, deserves. It had its problems back then, the game would crash during cutscenes (which wouldn't even properly play), the animations were buggy, some levels were infuriating, but I held it in high regard - I thought it was fun. After a replay of a version on GOG, I could finally see the cutscenes, but I could also notice all the flaws a child could not. The game is bland - the enemy variety is non-existent, the content is very limited, the character progression, both skill- and equipment-wise - extremely simplistic, in the bad sense of the word. The game feels like it was made by an extremely small and inexperienced team with how simple and short it is. The story and the world falls under the generic-fantasy label, and it's poorly voice acted to boot. Characters also sometimes tend to sound, for a lack of a better term, inhuman, as if it was badly translated. I kind of wish I have not decided to replay this game and just let it exist as a fond memory, I held the bar pretty low, but I was still left disappointed.
