If you're unlucky, it'll just try to eat you. Androcles' Lion: If you're lucky, freeing a trapped animal will get it to help you.In turn, the latest rerelease of the first game adds more to the original game yet again (especially an extended tutorial intro), much like how the first Avernum polished and refined the gameplay from the first Exile game.Adaptation Expansion: What Avernum is to the Exile series.Demons in particular with very few exceptions (read: not violently hostile) are this.

#LOCATION OF THE GHOSTLY BLADE AVERNUM 6 SERIES#
The main reason behind this is that the first series doesn't run well on modern OSes (especially Macintosh), and the programmer wants to use a better looking engine. However, there is still a community of designers for it and several dozen scenarios have been produced, some of which are very good.Īvernum was rewritten again, starting with Avernum: Escape from the Pit. Unfortunately, it has been all but abandoned by Spiderweb Software. Instead, it lets you create your own scenarios and play the ones other people have made. In fact, it does not have any cohesive, overarching plot at all. The final game in the series, Avernum VI, casts you as Avernite soldiers desperately trying to stem the chaos of an Avernum overcome by both a Slithzerakai invasion and The Blight, a disease destroying Avernum's food supply.īlades of Avernum happens after Avernum III and doesn't follow the exploits of Avernites per se. Avernum V puts you in the shoes of soldiers from the Empire, now at peace with Avernum, trying to hunt down a particularly nasty rebel who wishes to end that peace. Avernum IV features another band trying to discover the source of numerous problems (mostly of the monstrous variety) which have sprung up after a period of peace. In Avernum III, the protagonists are the "secondary" team sent to the surface, after the first group disappeared without a trace.
In the second game, the heroes are a band of soldiers in the Avernum army, accidentally getting a big role in the war against the Empire and diplomacy with an alien people. and the only place the Empire does not rule, instead casting down its undesirables into it via a one-way magical portal. In the first, they are just a bunch of misfits cast down into the depths of Avernum, which is the name for a humongous series of caverns. The games follow the adventures of several groups of, well, adventurers. The fourth, fifth and sixth, however, are completely new games, with a completely new engine. The first three games, and Blades of Avernum, are actually remakes of the popular Exile series of games - and are rightly awesome. There are currently six parts in the series, as well as Blades of Avernum, which doesn't directly influence the plot. Avernum is a series of computer Role Playing Games by Spiderweb Software.
