8 of 15I loved Escape From The Pit, which was apparently revamped for iOS instead of just ported. It had clear skill trees and switched scale between outdoor and indoor maps just like old school D&D campaigns. The world and overview maps looked quite nice. In this game the skills are all "mystery meat," with completely secret dependencies. It uses the same scale indoors and out, so towns are now just a corridor away from each other and the world feels a lot less epic. The world and overview maps are pretty crude, forcing you to "hover" with your finger and look down in a scrolling box to see the label text. Crucial information (such as characters being debilitated by hunger) is shown only by a passing line of text in that box - no icon or anything in the actual character info. And a crash can corrupt the current saved game file, requiring you to use iExplore on your computer to delete it to get the game working again. That said, there are hundreds of hours of play with complex story lines and combats - well worth the purchase price.
I love this game!
Buttons don’t, good luck trying to use skill points because buttons don’t work. Instructions from characters are illogical or unhelpful. Junk and backpack are the same, no way to segregate items. Took me forever to figure out that win a character told me to go south I actually had to go to West first. Incredibly annoying game that just doesn’t work. I deleted it and went back to playing the original Avernum series.
The game is very detailed and the mechanics are well-made. My biggest complaint is how small the tileset is -- It is like a half to a third of the size of Avadon's graphics which makes mis-clicks occur a good portion of the time. There are also a few times where the terrain graphics cover up enemies which I feel is a fundamental design flaw. Other than that, the game is of high quality story and gameplay-wise.
Hours and hours of awesome gameplay. I can only wish that Jeff Vogel makes an iPad version of Avernum 3, 4 and 5.
Spiderweb Software makes the best story driven RPG's that I ever played. If you like old school fantasy RPG's like Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Avadon, and Dungeons of Chaos on iOS, then this game is for you!
Only displays sideways, whether I’m in portrait or landscape mode. That makes it useless. I’ve tried all the usual tricks, rebooting, reloading, etc. on an up to date 2025 iPad.
Graphics on my new ipad pro are magnified? and the ipad display bar is in constant display at a 90' rotation counter clockwise?? Attempted to adjust the graphics etc but no luck..attempted to reinstall and check for updates and still no luck. Graphics are different from that shown on the previews as well..So I am attempting to get a refund since it was not functioning as previewed or expected.
