Avernum 3: Ruined World
RPG 31 January 2018
The second attempt at refreshing 1996 title Exile III: Ruined World (after 2002 Avernum 3). Avernum 3: Ruined World takes the player to a fantasy world which is currently at the brink of a disaster. The player controls a group of daredevils that manage to escape the underground prison after a long fight against the forces of an evil Empire. Having reached the surface, the characters discover that their world has been invaded by monsters. It soon turns out that they have to cooperate with their enemy, the Empire, in order to put an end to the threat posed by the monsters. Mechanics-wise, Avernum 3 is an old-school RPG with a turn-based combat system. The player creates a team of four characters and develops their skills to one's liking alongside progression. Dozens of towns and dungeons are waiting for the player - their fate depends both on the player's actions and attacks of the monsters. Avernum 3: Ruined World offers a minimalistic graphic style patterned after isometric RPGs from the last century.

A refreshed version of an old-school RPG from Spiderweb Software; the game is a continuation to Avernum: Escape from the Pit. Avernum 2: Crystal Souls is set in the same fantasy world, and to be precise - in the undergrounds that were turned into a huge prison by the Empire, which rules the world. Once again player leads a group of prisoners, who as depicted in the previous installment, managed to assassinate the despotic leader of the Empire - Hawthorne. Now, they have to face the Empire's counter-attack - the wrongdoers' aim is to reclaim control of Avernum and get rid of all the rebels. The player leads a party of four characters and observes their actions from an isometric view. Taking part in turn-based encounters, the team gains experience, developing their statistics and skills. Battles are very complex, allowing the player to use magic (over 60 spells and hundreds of artifacts) and advanced combat tactics. While exploring, the player visits over a hundred diverse locations. In total, the game delivers about 40 hours of play, and three independent paths lead to victory over the Empire. When developing this refreshed version, the creators were focused mainly on improving the visuals.
