Avalon is a sci-fi role playing game that was created by MIG Outpost. The game was originally developed for the MS-DOS and was released in the late 90s. The game was underrated when it was first released and it didn’t really rise to popularity but it is a well made game that is fun to play.
The game is played in the top down perspective and is set in a post-apocalyptic and futuristic setting. In the game, the planet earth has already been destroyed and now all the humans that remain alive have migrated to the planet called Avalon. The humans have already taken to calling themselves the Avalon cult.
One day the town where the humans have settled was attacked by creatures that also inhabit the planet. The Avalon cult’s leader decides to communicate and negotiate with the creatures but he is taken by the creatures.
A young man from the village named Mace has been given the task of saving Lee, the cult’s leader. It is also now Mace’s responsibility to find out what has caused the creatures to attack their village so that will know how to avoid being attacked again so that the human race can survive on the Avalon.
You will play the role of Mace and lead your party through the planet in search of your leader. There will be battles that he will have to take part in. As you go through the game, you will also interact with other characters who will provide you with information or items you need to be able to make significant progress in the game.
There are a number of weapons that are available to you so that you can perform well in the game. The weapons include: guns, bows, axes, swords and others.
Aside from the good graphics and the decent controls, the game also features a pretty good storyline which is what makes the game really good.
The battle sequences are turn-based and the whole game really doesn’t have any difference to most of the games from the role playing genre. It is a pretty standard role playing game but it is well-made and solid so it’s not a waste of anyone’s time. The game combines several elements that make it attractive to different types of gamers. It involves some puzzle-solving, some combat scenarios and also bits strategy.
I recommend this to anyone who likes a solid role playing game.
