For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Exactly what I needed - a story-heavy RPG fix with a utilitarian UI geared towards reading well-written dialogues and plot, and reasonably in-depth combat and progression systems. I've only scratched the surface of the tale - hopefully it will live up to the expectations and provide hours of immersive play and reading material. So far, after 3 hours, I'm enjoying it immensely!
The Avadon trilogy, starting off with Avadon: The Black Fortress, is another gem by Spiderweb Software. It's not my favorite by them, but it's still a very solid one where you play an enforcer part of a larger ruling system called Avadon and are given quite a lot of power to make choices and tough calls. It follows the Spiderweb Software formula to a tee being another retro-style RPG with plenty of turn-based combat but there's still a lot of cool fun and charm to be had here.

I have three steam friends with this game. I have played it more than any of them. One played it 6 minutes, one played it 8 minutes, and I wasted a whole 15 minutes.. I wasted even longer now that I wrote this review, but I did it so that you don't have to!
Avadon: The Black Fortress review This is a good game. I don't know why... but for some reason despite the archaic UI and lack of any kind of music, playing this game just feels like breeze. It has its strengths and weaknesses but does it's best to just present the player a nice and satisfying adventure. These games aren't very pricey either and I think if you like RPGs for the systems they have you will get your money's worth. The campaigns in most Spiderweb Software games are very lengthy to be made by such a small team. This may not be Spiderweb Software's best game but it is a good game nonetheless. I know I did enjoy the writing and the challenge for the most part so far.
Not for me...the level progression is soooo simplistic it's like *Dumber Diablo* yet it claims to be some kind of deep story driven CRPG. It's not, its a party based ARPG at best and the story is dull, so is the world. If you think Spiderweb stuff is deep well written fantasy with a fascinating world and lore you need to get out more and play more games/read more books.
Avadon fails for me for the following reasons. Quest tracking feels deliberately difficult to make use of. I often have to take a break several days long between gaming so I rely on a quality quest tracker to point me in the right direction. Combat is too simple. I don't need more buttons to press but the buttons I have need to be tactically interesting. Enemy variety is low, trash mobs are everywhere, "tough" encounters feature enemies that are just absolute massive bags of HP, and I could go on. Graphics are not good but that's not what we come to indie RPGs for. Still, the spell effects are super lame and gear has 0 impact on what your characters look like. Enemy recolors are rampant. The story is neither good nor bad. Writing seems decent, if that makes any sense. You can't move the camera with WASD which is a huge annoyance. There are too many things to pick up that have zero use in the world. Even 1 coin for a fork would have made me feel better in this regard. I bought the entire trilogy but I don't think I'm going to bother.
유기적인 퀘스트와 전체 스토리가 좋습니다. 클래식 RPG의 정석이라고 할 수 있겠네요 현재로서는 다소 올드한 UI의 압박이 있지만 크게 불편하지는 않았습니다 진행에 따라 흑막이 드러나면서 체제를 유지하기 위해 악을 묵인하고 행할 것인가..기존 체계를 부정하고 이상을 쫓을 것인가를 선택함에 따라 엔딩이 달라집니다
i gave this game a second try but the pace is just too slow. There is much text in the game and after finishing the tutorial and going into the first mission you are thrown without direction of where to go. If you enjoy reading a lot and talking to every NPC in a game i would def suggest this game. Otherwise just pass it
Good, lengthy CRPG.
比Geneforge 全方面都更加优秀的作品。 人物有类似D2的技能树系统,技能之间相互支撑,buff和初伤技能都各有价值,在技能更少的同时自由度却更高、更加有深度,非常难能可贵。 解决了不少传统RPG的痛点——力量仅限制穿戴装备的重量,背包容量负重无限;法系角色的0成本普攻强度问题;开锁拆陷阱不仅限于盗贼角色。相比于GF,行动点的意义更明确更重要。 剧情也很有意思:玩家扮演反派的狗,为了维护稳定东奔西走。制作组看似中立,其实还是忍不住假褒明贬:理论上说为了维稳不择手段确有可取之处,但实际流程中处处告诉玩家这是错的,倾向性过于明显其实是个缺点。不过如果玩家能够坚守本心对boss忠诚到底的话,在数不尽的反抗暴政的题材中体验还算比较独特。 喜欢类似作品的同学欢迎加入Q群【没有感情的速通机器】719895343。闲时摸鱼聊天,忙时硬核游戏~~
