Avernum is a prison. It is an enormous warren of tunnels and caverns, far below the surface world. You were banished there by the cruel Empire, to spend the rest of your life in the underworld. However, what little safety and peace you had found there was short-lived. Your home has been invaded by overpowering forces. It falls to you to find help for your people and fend off the invaders. If you fail, your home and everyone in it are doomed.
Avernum 2 is an old-school fantasy role-playing game, designed for anyone who wants a huge game with a fascinating plot and longs for the good old days of Ultima and Wizardry. It features beautiful 3-D, 16-bit graphics, including drawings by well-known fantasy illustrator Phil Foglio, a massive storyline with three different game-winning quests (complete one or two of them, or even all three), and addicting gameplay. Avernum 2 is the sequel to the hit retro-rpg Avernum. Requires Windows 95 or later, 12 free MB RAM, 800x600 screen resolution.
Our Review: This sequel to the sprawling swords & sorcery adventure Avernum looks and plays exactly the same again concentrating on an epic tale rather than any flashy graphics. No doubt if you enjoyed the first Avernum then you'll be only too happy to return to the underworld and settle back into the life of quest-solving and beast-slaying.
