   I believe that this game is the very definition of a hidden gem. The combat is fun, pretty and your different spells have different effects.I believe that this game is the very definition of a hidden gem. The combat is fun, pretty and your different spells have different effects. The story is great since you are starting of small and then it just keeps growing and into something epic. To many games undervalue the mage but this one gives you a glimpse of what they can be.… Expand

The scenario is very good but rather typical, the gameplay adds action and rpg elements to create something most entertaining and the graphics are sooo awsome ! The only drawback is that I found it TOO hard, even on normal difficulty. Anyway, I would recommend it to any guy who likes fantasy stories and has a lot of patience… Expand

   Avencast is a good way to the RPG genre, with its nice story line (till what I have reached), nice graphics and reminds me the times when IAvencast is a good way to the RPG genre, with its nice story line (till what I have reached), nice graphics and reminds me the times when I was a young child reading the Harry Potter series of books and imagining myself in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry which I feel the developer done a good job on
   
   But I was put off very quickly (30 minutes into the game) but its awkward control scheme, voice acting that made me feel like the game was treating me like a child rather than a normal person playing a good RPG game and the "fetch quests" like "Oh I need this, but before I tell you where it is, you must go and get me a special potion", which really bugs me and I hate that in RPG games, I would like an RPG game where like in Enclave by Starbreeze Studios that make it all linear and to the story rather than fetching something so that the guy who asked to go and fetch it can actually tell you then when you traveled far and wide, the next person does the same thing! For me developers who do this just make it like that so that the can extend the story rather than let's say 6-8 hours of gameplay they extend it to 10-15 hours of gameplay, and me personally I do not like really long games
   
   Now you might say "Oh, so if you don't like fetch quests than that means you don't play RPG games at all", no, not as such, I do play some RPG games that have only one or two fetch quests in the whole game, that for me is fine, but where you see a game where it is mostly 10-15 hours long, expect loads of fetch quests, which really makes me bored and sad that I cannot enjoy these great/good RPG games
   
   Overall, I am giving this game and not recommended NOT because it is not playable or is glitchy as hell and you can't play it, but because of its awkward control scheme and because of its ridiculous amounts of side quests and fetch quests
   
   BUT, if you like a nice game (like this) that reminds me that I am in Hogwarts, then this is the game for you, not kidding, it is actually a very good well presented RPG game, but puts ME off for its other features that most RPG games have… Expand

   Avencast has nothing to offer that is noticeably good or original, nothing to give it a more than average note.

   On the other hand, its combat system is so bad that I started getting bored with it right in the fighting tutorial. Ouch !
   
   And finally, something very puzzling: the camera is so limited that I can never see high enough to make my vision comfortable. Hard to explain, but it's strangely and psychologically unbearable.… Expand
