The characters are real or funny and refreshing.
I found myself a little less "lost in the experience of the game" while playing this in comparison to Geneforge, and I'm not sure why.
The graphics in-game are tolerable but there are some really awesome paintings that never get old and are pure dynamite. The graphics in-game are tolerable but there are some really awesome paintings that never get old and are Totally awesome, just bad graphics. 9.5/10, rounded up to 10 for this review. Overall, a truly excellent game, worthy of anyone's time. There are also several medals (which double as achievements if you buy from Steam) for to earn, providing further reason to stick with the game. Whilst you're unlikely to play the whole game more than once (except perhaps on the highest difficulty (if you didn't do so first time), with a single character (again, if you didn't do so first time) or simply having not played it for a while), the large number of sidequests and dungeons to explore will see you investing many hours of your time into this game. The sound effects are good, though they can become repetitive. For example, there are some perfectly good pieces of music that play at the title screen and during loading screens, but there's no music at any other time. The game's weakest area, but that isn't to say that the sounds are bad. There are also many sidequests and dungeons to explore. I won't say anything else specific, but I will say that the storyline is both engaging and rewarding, ensuring that you play the game to its conclusion. In this game, you take the role of some of those banished to live in the underground cave system of Avernum as punishment for a political crime of some sort. The storyline is the same as the previous two incarnations of the game, though tweaked and expanded in some areas. The movement system is much more pleasant and fluid than in the older games, allowing you to click on a location not too far away from you and have your characters walk there, rather than having to literally guide them every step of the way. My only complaint with combat is that it isn't uncommon for you to accidentally target the wrong enemy, though this rarely has catastrophic consequences (it might on the higher difficulties, though). There is a wide variety of enemies for you to fight and the fight against regular enemies is interspersed with challenging and engaging pseudo-boss-battles. Combat is a simple turn-based affair and is also very enjoyable. As with any RPG worth it's salt, you can customise the skills and abilities of all of your characters, and there is much scope for creating several diversely different characters. In Avernum: Escape From the Pit, you control a party of four people (less if you want). The most important aspect of any game, and where this one truly excels. My only complaint is that the caves of Avernum seem a bit too brightly lit, but it's nothing jarring. Despite the nostalgic appeal of Exile's old sprites, I can't deny that these new graphics are far superior, An isometric view of the world of Avernum is so much more pleasant and flexible than the old 2d sort-of-top-down view (in fairness to the original Avernum, it introduced this) and far, far nicer than the old Avernum's graphics. I'll now break this review into the different aspects of the game. Avernum: Escape From the Pit, surpasses the original in every way. This was a shame, as the new engine 'Avernum' was built on ironed out most of the small problems present in the original. I also played the remake and, whilst I enjoyed it for a while, it just wasn't as fun as Exile and I never finished it. Alright, so there were a lot of things wrong with it, but I loved it. I played the original incarnation and I loved it. It started life in (I think) 1995 as 'Exile: Escape From the Pit. It This game is in the interesting position of being a remake of a remake.
