### 1/5 — Check in app purchases before bothering

*2026-06-25, version 1.5*

Loaded the game and oh look it’s 5$ for each chapter after the first. This is not a 15$ game. Didn’t even load the game itself after that. Bye.

### 5/5 — Avernum oldschool rpg

*2026-01-05, version 1.5*

fun game, nice and primitive the way i like it.  never crashes, no glitches.  bought each chapter, finished it.  if there were more i would buy them too.  worth it.

note for devs:  i have played the whole thing through (all chapters) 3 times, the first time i did not get this quest in the first chapter, but the next two i did.  i opened the .seng file for my save (i don't dare change anything there) just to see the exact quest that caused this problem: q_dwarf-bandit5

the problem:  you get to the part where you find out the friend has turned bandit and then you are suppsed to get the location to get them.  you get the name of the location, but it NEVER appears on your map.  so i just leave that quest unfinished (unfortunate for completionists like me)

*2022-08-23, version 1.1*

This game is excellent, I can’t believe there aren’t more reviews, seriously people, download and play this game.  It’s got a ton of depth and the real time with pause combat works great once you’re used to it.  I am a new fan of this game and studio, thanks for such a great game, you are awesome! Don’t ever give up!  Please continue to make more games of this quality.  Thank You 😊
