Started in 1994, the cult-classic Avernum series is one of the great video game sagas! In this epic fantasy role-playing adventure, you explore and conquer an enormous underworld. Battle through huge dungeons, fight unique and cunning foes, collect, create, and bless hundreds of different artifacts, and enjoy a really good story.
Avernum is a nation underground. Kept alive by the courage and magic of its inhabitants, it stretches through many hundreds of miles of caverns, mines, and labyrinths. It is a wild frontier, attracting adventurers, explorers, brigands, and monsters, all racing to claim the wealth and knowledge in its caves.
You have come to the wild edges of the known underworld with your own goals. (Wealth? Freedom? Conquest?) Once there, you found disaster. Many powerful forces hunger for the riches of the underworld. Swarms of beasts attack. Cities fall into ruin. Your bad luck: You're the one who might save Avernum from its crisis. Can you do it? And what will you take as your reward?
Avernum 4: Greed and Glory features:
Epic, turn-based fantasy adventure in a gigantic world, full of interesting characters, clever dungeons, and quests both grim and funny.
Open-ended story, with multiple factions who plead for (or buy) your support. Practice politics with monsters and choose whether to bring a happy peace or a profitable disaster.
Complex, open-ended game system full of tactical options and ways to build your party. Well over 100 abilities, traits, spells, and other ways to gain power.
A unique fantasy world packed with lore, humor, and history. Not your standard elves and orcs.
Avernum 4: Greed and Glory is the beginning of Avernum's Great Trials Trilogy, and experience with previous Avernum games is completely unnecessary. This is a remaster of the original cult-classic, Avernum 4, which came out in 2005, and features a greatly expanded story and tons of new dungeons, characters, and quests.
