Aveyond 3-2: Gates of Night

Sorry I love all the Aveyond series , I own them all

Not bad RPGmaker game, I finished 1-3

I don't like this kind of jrpgs, i don't like their gameplay overall. But this one felt a bit shallow? since i didn't play the previous game(the story looks like it's picking up from another point in time), i was just dropped into this world, and randomly learnt about the characters. the small part of the initial story didn't really have any substance for me.

Being an old RPG maker game, the gameplay is definitely outdated, and I really dislike the map layouts, it's just full of dead ends everywhere forcing you to spend unnecessary amounts of time just walking around for no reason, even in towns. The story is really good though and drags you in. I played this a long time after I played the first in the series, so I had issues knowing what's where at the beginning of the game and having to rely on googling because the game seriously lacks guidance in that scenario, so my recommendation is if you liked it and want to continue the story, play them in succession, don't leave a long gap where you'll forget the map and what's where. I recommend the game on a discount.

To anyone reading this - play this game! The story is so awesome and wholesome and beautiful. Amaranth games did such a great job with the all the Aveyond games but these 4 games in the Orbs of Magic series are even better, somehow.

Very pleasant continuation of Lord of Twilight. It is very easy to miss the candy bowl in Witchwood during their Halloween event, which is required if you want to propose to Mel as Edward. I recommend consistent saves because I had to force shutdown my laptop at least 4 times when it froze. Though that could also just be my experience. I definitely recommend exploring on your own for most of the game as guides are a little tedious to refer to.
