Avadon: The Black Fortress Review

We have a new review for Spiderweb Software’s Avadon: The Black Fortress, this time based on the iPad version of the game, courtesy of Touch Arcade. The review is scoreless but it’s quite clear that the writer enjoyed his time with the game, albeit noting some hiccups due to the transition from PC to iPad. Here’s the conclusion:

Avadon: The Black Fortress HD might take a little while to sink in, but if you get enmeshed in the narrative and the world, it’s hard to walk away from it. It’s been a long while since I accidently stayed up all night with a game, but Avadon managed to do that without even bothering with fancy visuals or voiced dialogue. It’s not going to be a game for everybody, but if you’re weary of spending the completely fair price of $10 on the iPad version, I’d suggest checking out the demo for the PC or Mac versions. The experience is similar, although the iPad version will occasionally run into some frame rate drops and has a lower resolution. If you’re a fan of ’90s RPGs and have been craving something that doesn’t hold your hand or guide you along on the iPad, this is the perfect game for you.
