What players think
The recurring themes across 68 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Avernum has great setting and story, great playability, decent length (about 100 hours) and many sidequests and secrets.
However, the simplicity of its graphics does little to diminish the strength of its world-building.
Whether favoring powerful spellcasters, durable frontline fighters, or versatile hybrid characters, the progression system offers enough flexibility to accommodate different playstyles.
Combined with a subtle soundtrack and ambient audio, the game succeeds in creating an immersive fantasy setting despite its technical limitations.

Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
