Avernum: Escape from the Pit (PC Review)

The Avernum games are made for those who enjoy turn-based role playing games with a lot of dialogue and exploration in an overhead, grid view. As in good ole’ RPG fashion of the prior decade, a map of the area is slowly revealed upon moving around the area (similar in graphics and style to Age of Empires games). This new edition of Avernum has a leg up on the initial installment of the series, due to the utilization of the mouse “point-and-click” feature (how futuristic!).
