Avencast: Rise of the Mage Review

CVG has weighed in with their review of ClockStone’s Avencast: Rise of the Mage, though a score of 3.4/10 makes it pretty obvious that they weren’t impressed.

It isn’t even just that the game is inherently broken – somewhere within the battered remains of Avencast’s ideas lies a middling story, but the entire product feels terrible. Enemies take too long to kill, the dialogue has the tone of a 12 year-old’s fan fiction, and the gameplay is of Flash-game quality, but at a full-price premium.

For the price of Avencast you can get Titan Quest, or even Diablo 2 and its expansion, and still have money left for tea. There’s no need to struggle to even give this low-quality hogwash a try – there are bigger, better and cheaper RPGs out there.
