WHAT A GAME!
Just finished the game. There are three ways to win.
Become the King
Assasinate Emporer Hawthorne (completed)
and Escape the pit (find an exit to the surface world)
This game has tons of gameplay hours. I have played probably 70 hours or so.
Lots of cool weapons, medieval and magic theme. Enchanted items (Demonslayer sword, Orb of (something) - makes you fly, etc.
I thouroughly enjoyed this game and would definantly reccomend it to anyone. Bought it for $15, well worth it.
Storyline:
The Empire spread across the surface world and throws their enemies into Avernum (Underworld).
Once there, you and 3 other companions fight monsters of all types, gain experience, and learn to fight all that it evil.
Aparently the Empire is also down in the underworld trying to watch you and eventually kill you all off.
Tons of cities, Tower of Magi, secret caves, Dragon Hordes await you!
It is one of my fav games and that is saying alot for I am a gamer!
Buy it, HAVE FUN!
