At worst, there is a character (that we meet that said after already a lot of hours of play) allowing a complete reroll (of the PJ and his companions), it is very useful! After that, it is up to the player to find the balance that satisfies him. Likewise it may be tempting to increase its endurance to support the clash of fights, but not to be touched by good dexterity is a much more interesting investment in my opinion.
AVADON THE BLACK FORTRESS ANDROID FULL
In my opinion, it is better to master some skills than to know full but to be bad everywhere, for example. The rise in skill of the characters is done on a rather limited and rigid tree, but which nevertheless possesses some subtleties which can in fact greatly change the deal. So it happens that we turn a little in circles in search of the goal before we can actually access it. We also sometimes plague the difficulty of finding a particular character who has given us a quest, and on the fact that we get some to perform in areas not yet open, but of regions already visited. And the final combat, optional, is an absolute and endless purge if you decide to try it (I would not go into the details, I just recommend to anyone to inflict it, it is an endless horror, really.). Personally I resolved to move from "hard" to "normal" on the end. Difficulty levels do not lie on their name and some fights seem extremely unfair until the key is found. But Avadon can be also very very difficult, and tedious sometimes. The gameplay as for him honors the "old-school", especially the turn-by-turn fights that I found pretty well screwed. But once you get it done, the environments are pretty nice and the levels are large and well designed. Not really ugly, but not even as beautiful as a Baldur's Gate first of the name.

The game, overall, having some linearity anyway. Small flat on dialogues sometimes a little (too) dirigistes.

The script and writing are very successful, as are the characters, and the players ' companions. In Avadon we are in the grey, not in the black and white, the game does not hesitate a second to make you doubt, to make you hate those that he made you love just before, leaving you sometimes making to decisions not obvious at all. The game universe may seem simple at first glance but it is actually rather rich, with interesting and varied cultures, and a significant coherence (until in the way that NPCs react to your status of hand). The adventures of the player will therefore take place in the midst of political influence struggles, alternating repression, diplomacy, etc. Avadon is fear, very powerful, determined, ruthless. As a hand you have to implement the policy of Avadon (the "eyes" inform, the "hearts" decide): seek and destroy the threat against the Covenant, whether inside or outside. Avadon is the strong keystone of the Covenant, a fragile alliance between central kingdoms threatened by enemies pushed to the ends of the continent: ogres, fallen empire, barbarians, etc. There are multiple scripted encounters featured in The Black Fortress that require a certain degree of tactics to be completed successfully.Īvadon is an old-school RPG in which one embodies a "hand" in the service of the fortress whose game derives its name.
