The relationship between Avadon and the realms it protects is one of the most interesting facets of the game. Straight away it is clear that Redbeard is merciless and manipulative, as you see the state of some of his prisoners - especially the last man that tried to assassinate him. Your first mission is to put the fortress dungeons back in order after a break out attempt. You aren’t the hero, the Hands are extensions of Redbeard’s will. ![]() With his army of agents, powerful magic and keen mind, he keeps the Pact (a coalition of nations) from falling apart. Your imposing master, Redbeard, is the most powerful man in the continent of Lyneas. You aren’t tasked with saving the world, your job is to maintain the status quo. You play the newest Hand of Avadon, a position of power and responsibility. People tend to find out about Vogel’s RPGs through word of mouth and even then it’s hard to see what the fuss is about. You could be forgiven for missing it, though. It eventually found it’s way onto PC in May and iPad in June. Like all of Spiderweb’s games, Avadon was released first on Mac, way back in February. If your new job is being the latest Hand of Avadon, medival fantasy’s answer to the CIA, that is.Īvadon: The Black Fortress is the latest RPG to come from Jeff Vogel and Spiderweb Software, the unsung heroes of classic RPGs in this age of cinematic spectacle. One has to get their bearings, learn their co-workers names, figure out their role, kill or capture escaped prisoners, topple governments or placate an arrogant young dragon who sells his services for gold.

They remade all the original Exile games and then continued by adding Avernum 4-6. The first Avernum series used an improve engine made for their game Nethergate (also a great game). It's a remake of Avernum, which, in turn, is a remake of Exile: Escape from the Pit.īasically, the exile series is ancient, back form the nineties. If you liked this one, you should try Avernum: Escape from the Pit. It's a great old school RPG, but I find the Avernum/Exile series by Spiderweb much better. I played through and wrote about Avadon on my own blog a while ago.
