What players say

Players say Avencast is a dated but charming dungeon crawler with a unique combat system that blends fighting-game inputs into spellcasting. The controls feel tanky and enemies are bullet sponges, yet many find the spell variety and dodge mechanics compelling enough to replay every few years.
