A solid 4* turn-based hack'n'slash RPG
Avadon is pretty solid and surprisingly addictive RPG, with an above average storyline and focus on action. It will not be enjoyed by everybody, but it deserves a try if you can get past the obvious flaws. To put it simply, the positives far outweigh the negatives. Graphics and sound is what may put you off straight away. The sound effects are poor; just turn it off and put on some music instead;) Graphics belong in the mid-90s and also add very little to the immersion. They also make it very difficult to spot certain items on the ground. However, for someone whose favourite game is Dwarf Fortress this did not put me off at all. To me the storyline is where these kind of games stand or fall and here the creators did a good job. Too many of these games turn the storyline into a good v evil battle, where good is without reproach and evil is just, you know, dark, ugly and bad. Instead Avadon uses politics to drive the story, all main and side quests are basically about a power struggle amongst various states, which makes it more difficult to determine which actions are actually good or evil. There is no Lawful Good to be found here and sometimes all choices lead to death and destruction for all, innocent or guilty. I also enjoyed the fact that this RPG has been stripped of many elements which seem mandatory in many other RPGs. There is no character creation stage, you simply pick one of 4 classes and dive straight in, improving your character as you go along. There is no weight limit for what you may carry(only what you wear), movement across the map is fast, there is no need to go back to an inn for rest and there is no mana for spell casters. Essentially, the game wants you to pick it up and get straight into the action, which does lead to those 15min game sessions extending into hours without warning:) Finally, I cannot give it a higher recommendation than to say - I have just finished it, but I will start replaying it as soon as I finish this review;) Try it!
