    If you're a fan of '90s RPGs and have been craving something that doesn't hold your hand or guide you along on the iPad, this is the perfect game for you.

    If you can get over the dated presentation, you'll find an old-school, PC-style RPG with loads of class and sharp writing.

    If you are a big lover of classic RPGs and if you can't play the game on a PC or Mac, then Avadon could be your ultimate game for iPad. For all the other players it's just a complex game with a bad interface and a gameplay really far from the usual aspects of gaming on iPad.

    As a throw-back to the RPGs of old it hits most of the right buttons, but most modern gamers will likely leave the world of Avadon long before it hits its stride.

    There wont be many people that will enjoy Avadon HD. Unless you are hard core fan of old school RPG, give this a miss.

    This is an excellent rpg in the style of baldur's gate, fallout and other PC classics. And what's more, it works BRILLIANTLY on ipad. I cannot believe the mediocre scores this game is getting. Generally, when i play rpgs these days, I find the lore so tedious that I tend to skip character dialogues, or just skim through it, pre-empting the obvious storylines that abound these days: an unwitting legend has to find him/herself by completing quests and finding out the written lore that proclaims that they are the ultimate chosen one.....YAWN!
    This game avoids such cliches. It is well written, evoking the storytelling of the Ultima games of the 80's, where the story was carefully crafted from go to woe. If you're harkering for a non-casual rpg from the past, go no further. Get this game. It's brilliant. I keep coming back to it, and I can't say that about a lot of ipad games, except for a few. This is one of the few.    … Full Review »
