Not everything is answered, as the game clearly sets up potential sequels, but the ending is still quite satisfying. As one completes varying seemingly unrelated quests, a larger plot begins to show itself, with several surprising twists before the end. The missions the supposed heroes are sent out on don’t always feel particularly heroic, and it’s clear that placing the pact above all else, often leaves the common man in the dust. This is due to the fact that players will notice that everything is not quite right with the pact. While this could have made for a rather generic story, the plot picks up rather quickly and provides plenty of intrigue to keep players going.

Run by the merciless, and apparently ageless Red Beard, Avadon is certainly a force to be reckoned with. To keep the peace, the titular fortress of Avadon plays host to an elite group of warriors who protect the peace of the pact at all costs.

Despite a lackluster visual presentation and minimal sound and music, Avadon manages to tell a compelling fantasy tale full of intrigue and betrayal that players won’t soon forget.Īvadon takes place in a fantasy world where a pact of nations is constantly at risk from outside threats.

Rooted squarely in classic PC RPG gameplay, Avadon manages to stick to its roots while still feeling like a very modern RPG, blessed with many of the features that BioWare games brought to RPGs over the years.

Avadon: The Black Fortress is the latest title from venerable indie developer Spiderweb Software.
