Avencast: Rise of The Mage

I'm seriously interested in this game, but I see no players reviews yet. Since I often rely more on them to make up my mind, can anyone tell me anything about it, if it is worth my while buying a copy?

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried the demo? I did and I am not going to buy it. It was alright, but it did not seem to have a flow that worked easily. Perhaps it just gets getting used to, but I find that unless games are rated at least 9.0 on Gamespot, they are probably not worth it. There are some exceptions, but not usually.hectorboy

The demo, of course... downloading now. 1.5 hours of gameplay should be enough, I think. Thanks for the tip.

BTW, do you know if the Gamespot download manager is compatible with the Opera browser? I tried (and I tried) to run it but nothing happens (no processes in the task manager either - and I gave it permission from the firewall).

I bought the game. interesting in the beginning, there is a lot of riddles and the game seems to include a lot from the adventure genre. however, this feeling dies out after a few hours, and it becomes a pure action rpg, which doesn't has much to offer. The game reminds me alot of the game Nox, if you have ever tried it. The dialogues are wierd too, makes me skip them. On the other side the action is great, dynamic, and i liked the spell visuals. The spell system is good, but offers nothing new. In addition i found the game a bit difficult, i like that. i would give it a 6 or 7 out of 10, i would say you pay for a good pass-time activity, not really anything more than that. how did you like it. peace
