Developed by <a href="https://www.vg247.com/companies/ascendant-studios">Ascendant Studios</a>, it's a game that hopes to combine some good ol' fashioned FPS action with some slick spell-slinging. An interesting pitch for sure, but sadly not one that manifests itself in an especially exhilarating fashion. Immortals of Aveum is a middling adventure, which just so happens to be releasing at a time when several industry-shaking games are releasing. It is a game doomed for the bargain bin.</p><br /><p>But perhaps you're still curious. Immortals of Aveum is a first-person shooter where you, in the run-down shoes of Jak, find yourself living in a magical slum preciously built over a literal bottomless pit. Content with this prime real estate, he lives with a gaggle of other urchin children away from a forever war between the tyrannical Sandrakk and the last vestiges of resistance. From these humble beginnings, Jak becomes a powerful magus in his own right and must take the fight to Sandrakk with the help of his Whedon-esque wit and the various magical spells at his disposal.</p><br /><p>Immortals of Aveum's real narrative value comes from its cast of characters, not from any sort of enriched, overarching plot. I did find myself enjoying the performance of some of these side characters, but Jak himself didn't win me over. The protagonist may have a 'love it or hate it' Marmite effect on players, thanks to the writers' snark-ridden, quip-heavy approach with the character. It's not as heavy-handed as <a href="https://www.vg247.com/forspoken-review">Forspoken</a> was, but it's in the same ballpark. Your own personal tolerance for this style of character work and dialogue will greatly impact your overall investment in Immortals of Aveum's story.</p><br /><p><a href="https://www.vg247.com/immortals-of-aveum-review">Read more</a></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />from VG247 Latest Articles Feed https://ift.tt/FKlZS14<br /><br />via <a href="https://ifttt.com/?ref=da&amp;site=blogger">IFTTT</a><br />
