Immortals of Aveum offers a new perspective on the FPS fantasy games genre. It is essentially a first-person shooter, but you deal with magic instead of bullets and throwables. Ascendant Studios has done a great job of creating medieval battlemages with a dash of modern English and a touch of sarcasm. Although the story is a bit slow at the beginning, it picks up at an incredible pace through the single player campaign. After testing it for a week, we are ready to give you our insights without spoiling anything with our Immortals of Aveum Review.
Immortals of Aveum – Before You Buy
In a world where magic has taken over, there are only two great kingdoms left, including Lucium and Rasharn. Apart from all this, we play as Jak, who lost everything after the Rasharnians invaded his settlement. This Canon Event in Jak’s life awakens special powers that allow him to wield 3 types of magic at the same time. This versatility makes him a Triarch Magnus – a spellcaster who is able to wield all three forms of magic. However, the mana that flows through Jak’s body can kill him if he is not given the right guidance. Thus, you will take part in Everwar, an ancient conflict between the 2 kingdoms.
As in the classic lore, this is the point where our protagonist meets his mentor, the Grand Magnus Kirkan. Under her guidance, Jak will become one of the crucial members of the Order of the Immortals – the only force capable of opposing the tyrant of the Rasharnians in Lucium.
Combat in Immortals of Aveum revolves around Magic and the spellcaster’s ability to use it to its full potential. Surprisingly, there are no weapons or staffs to deal Magic damage to enemies. Instead, you’ll be using your hands to aim and unleash the wrath of magic on your opponents. Does that sound boring? Well, not at all! Developers have tweaked the Combat system so nicely that you won’t miss Guns and other weapons at all. Blue, Red, and Green Magic take the place of all major weapon classes.
