How it feels
A deliberate, isometric turn-based RPG that feels like a slow-burn exploration of a dark, subterranean world full of intrigue and survival.

What players say
Players appreciate the deep story and turn-based combat, but note less free roaming than in past Avernum games. Opinions split on difficulty, with some calling it punishing while others find it balanced with the right party mix.
