Description

Avernum is the update to Exile, Spiderweb Software's first game. It uses the Nethergate game engine and plays in much the same way. A few things have been improved, however. Instead of just clicking on subjects you want to know more about in conversations and getting static data as your feedback, you select choices of what you want to say and then receive their feedback. It is a more natural system, like in Ultima Underworld. The combat has not changed much either, except that there are new weapons and many more spells than in Nethergate, and these have with better graphics. You'll also find that instead of the game sprites having about 3 frames of animation in each direction, they will have many more. The tile-by-tile scrolling view has not changed but the many frames added on will help improve combat.
