### 2/5 — What happened

*2025-10-18, version 1.1*

Graphics on my new ipad pro are magnified? and the ipad display bar is in constant display at a 90' rotation counter clockwise?? Attempted to adjust the graphics etc but no luck..attempted to reinstall and check for updates and still no luck. Graphics are different from that shown on the previews as well..So I am attempting to get a refund since it was not functioning as previewed or expected.

### 1/5 — Nothing works

*2025-04-27, version 1.1*

Buttons don’t, good luck trying to use skill points because buttons don’t work. Instructions from characters are illogical or unhelpful. Junk and backpack are the same, no way to segregate items. Took me forever to figure out that win a character told me to go south I actually had to go to West first. Incredibly annoying game that just doesn’t work. I deleted it and went back to playing the original Avernum series.

### 4/5 — Would have given a 5 star rating but for this…

*2022-10-29, version 1.1*

I’ve played all of the Avadon/Avernum games on my ipad and loved ‘em, then I got to this one and WHAT HAPPENED! Did the programmer have a stroke and couldn’t get his head off his right shoulder!? Every other game in the series, I could swipe into a database to record details of the game I wanted to remember and both apps had the same default (and correct) orientation when the ipad is in landscape mode. For some unknown reason the developer broke with a solid compatible configuration to instead turn his app 90 degrees from everything else. All I can think of is that he’s gotten old and crotchety and hates people documenting his game in another app and decided to be a total jerk! ALL VERSIONS I’d had prior to this played nice on the ipad when swapping apps and then to do this lunacy in this app! It’s a good thing the rest of the game is stellar or it would have been more than a star knocked off!

### 5/5 — Once again superb story

*2020-11-30, version 1.1*

Avernum 6, sadly, concludes the series. I loved it. The functionality is slightly different than Avernum 1 to 3 and it takes times to get used to it.

As with the other Avernums, the story gripped me so much I found hard to drop my iPad. 

I had tears in my eyes when it ended as, this is it, no more episodes. All I can hope is that Spiderweb will release Avernum 4 and 5 for iPad ( please!).

 I won’t summarise the game, lots has already been written about it.  It is a very enjoyable game, so much to do and so much to explore that it will keep you busy for a long time. I totally recommend it, and at that price it is a bargain! Thank you spiderweb.

### 5/5 — Great RPG

*2020-09-24, version 1.1*

I played all of Spiderweb’s rpg games on my old iMac, and loved them.  I just finished playing Avernum 1,2, and 3 in their new incarnation on my iPad.  All the changes only made the games better.  I am starting #6 today after trying to play the old and unchanged version. The differences are stark.  I had to stop and download this new edition. Thank you Spiderweb for all the hard work it must have taken to produce this.  I will hope to see #4 and 5 eventually in this updated version.

### 5/5 — I wish there were more like this!

*2020-07-05, version 1.1*

Awesome game!

### 5/5 — Best Game Ever

*2020-03-05, version 1.1*

Awesome Game I’ve Spent tens of hours on it literally can’t stop playing. Awesome adventure but challenging

### 5/5 — Still no screen orientation support (fixed)

*2017-11-14, version 1.1*

App appears upside down on my iPad. Many iPad cases with built-in stands hold the device on its left side.

(Update)

   Thank you so much for fixing this!

Truly an awesome game and a classic!!!

### 5/5 — One of the best RPGs of all time

*2017-04-09, version 1.1*

Hours and hours of awesome gameplay. I can only wish that Jeff Vogel makes an iPad version of Avernum 3, 4 and 5.

### 4/5 — Great but Too Small

*2017-02-16, version 1.1*

The game is very detailed and the mechanics are well-made. My biggest complaint is how small the tileset is -- It is like a half to a third of the size of Avadon's graphics which makes mis-clicks occur a good portion of the time. There are also a few times where the terrain graphics cover up enemies which I feel is a fundamental design flaw. Other than that, the game is of high quality story and gameplay-wise.
