Leave a Review Avadon 2
Great Game
Another spiderweb software banger, this gem is almost as good as the original Avernum, only dragging a long a little at the end when enemy HP bloat starts to pick up. There’s dozens and dozens of hours of great content in this one, and you’ll stay hooked from start to finish trying to defeat the empire and discover all of Avernums secrets.Show lessNand
This Game Wore Me Down
While I agree with the many positive aspects of this game in reviews made by others, I must say that, compared to other similar games, this one forced extremely long battle sequences that gave me headaches. There were also fewer opportunities to buy critical potions, making survival and offensive tactics much more difficult. I’ll stick with Avernum and Exiled Kingdoms, which, to me, are more balanced and enjoyable.Show lessHangandsteve
Tougher than Avadon 1, but still worthwhile.
My biggest gripe is that this game's difficulty escalates much faster than Avadon 1, and this difficulty isn't just due to mechanical rebalancing. Nonetheless, it makes people try different strategies (such as hit-and-run) but it can still be pretty frustrating when cannon-fodder enemies have about as much health as bosses do. I would also say that currently, I enjoyed Avadon 1's plot better (in particular, the first time you enter the Corruption kinda lost my attention for awhile), but once you get halfway-through, it starts to get interesting again.
Having finished the game now, I am disappointed to some extent by the ending. There are multiple ways to end the game, but the easiest way to end it was anti-climatic. Nonetheless, still a good plot and if you are planning on playing Avadon 3, you should definitely play this one first for plot reasons.Show lessNicknames Are Stupid981353278
