Faery - Legends of Avalon

plenty of cool and interesting ideas but struggles to pull them off. plus, it doesn't launch without patches.

If you want to play as a fairy, this game scratches that itch. It's the only fairy game I know of that has free motion flying, which is a huge plus for me. Frequently on sale for less than $1.

Очередная игра из серии: "Ну и чего ты от неё все эти годы нос воротил, а? а?" Незаезженный артурианский сеттинг, вдобавок рассматриваемый с необычной стороны - с позиции мелких, но бойких козявок - фей. Редчайшая механика в интерактивных развлечениях - полёт и сопутствующее ей пьянящее ощущение свободы. По этой же причине понравилась демка Hawthorn - ММОРПГшка про антропоморфных (!) и не очень (!!) зверушек. За сову вообще топчик эти вроде бы типично-нудные квесты выполнять. Тоже чекните на досуге. Ничто нечеловеческое мне не чуждо - наблюдать за плавно летающей, одетой в листву\кору ногастой феечкой довольно приятно. Ну и до кучи: ненапряжная боёвка, ненапряжная рпг-система, идеальная (для меня) озвучка диалогов, чеклист находящихся на каждом острове челиков, ачивки без привязки к сложности игры. Классная микроролёвка. За десять часов получил минимум духоты, нудноты и кринжа, как в последующих играх студии и максимум оригинальности... этакой летней лёгкости, вдохновенности... p.s. Последний биом - топчик! 🤩 p.p.s. Да, на горизонте где-то ждёт Занзара, тоже с феями, но там, как я понимаю, больший уклон в кач и сбор покемонов, а здесь приятное лайтовое приключение. То, что нужно.

Small warning: this game ends with a cliffhanger. A promised sequel never appeared and the developers themselves admitted, that they don't plan to make a sequel anymore. I must say I really enjoyed this rpg game a lot! It's a complete different feeling to fly around, instead of walking around. To see simple birds being so much bigger than you and observing the world as a small being is really appealing and of course all the mythical creatures are giving a decent fairytale atmosphere. The character creation itself wasn't my most favorite one, because fairies are really feminine and pretty beings, but I was still happy with my character in the end (gave him some kind of goth-looks). Speaking about the looks of the character: I really loved the idea to change parts of your looks/bodies with levelling up (I always wished for such kind of option in a game)! For example giving your fairy-hero a tail, antennas, different kind of wings, etc and of course those transformations are improving your skills/stats as well! And most of our teammates here are not only very unique looking, their personalities are the same unique! It's even possible to bond with your teammates depending on your decisions. Which leads to the next fun part of this game: you are able to decide, if you solve problems peacefully or in a brutal way instead. If you remain peaceful you will find a lot of sidequests and spend most likely (like I did) 10 whole hours with this game here. Yes, some do complain about the graphics here, but honestly... what kind of gamers are those, who aren't able to appreciate retro-games? This was a ps3 game, too and therefore the graphics are very well made for that kind of console! And the concept artworks you are able to see during the loading screens are just fantastic painted doodles! So my conclusion: Yes, I can highly recommend this game! You will find it even often very cheap during sales (around of a 1 buck) and I feel honestly sorry for the developers, that this great piece of art didn't find more fans back then. For everyone else who got scared away of the cliffhanger warning, I will share now my honest opinion about the end of this game: [spoiler]You decide in the end, if you are loyal to your king or if you prefer to assist his daughter and replace him with her mother/queen Titania. A war's promised then, but... I don't think personally that going through the whole war and finding out who rules in the end is really destroying the whole game and it's story. So yes, I can still recommend this game, even with that cliffhanger here. But I do know that some people dislike open endings in general.[/spoiler]

ХОРОШИЙ ОТЗЫВ ИЗ ЗА ТОГО ЧТО МАЛО ЗУМЕРКОВ ИГРАЛО В ЭТУ ПРЕКРАСНУЮ ИГРУ

Tinha potencial mas está incompleto, apenas 3 dos 8 portais que o jogo nos apresenta são de fato desbloqueáveis, no fim a sensação que fica é de que largamos a história sem nem chegar na metade.

This is an older game with very simplistic turn-based combat and a limited upgrade/level up system. At certain dialogue points, you can roleplay a kind character or a jerk. Although you can play through the game twice to see the kind/jerk path choices and use the other 2 of 4 main elemental attacks during your 2nd playthrough, 80%+ of the game will be the same. Much of the dialogue is also very wooden and standard fantasy back-and-forth. This was a fun, easy game and takes less than 13 hours to fully complete each main- and side mission. Younger RPG fans or those looking for a very casual experience might find enjoyment with this game but it does have it flaws.

This game is so chopped, but it was a big part of my childhood so I had to replay it. I always really loved the odd little level up/evolution system when it came to the body modifications. I wish there were a market for faerie games similar to this but for adult audiences; more lore-heavy & high fantasy.

[h1]🎮 Reseña de Faery - Legends of Avalon[/h1] [h2]Resumen del Juego[/h2] Faery - Legends of Avalon es un Rol de fantasía en tercera persona con combates por turnos y una protagonista femenina en un mundo que grita “cuento mágico” por todos lados. La propuesta es clara: explorar, hablar con personajes, personalizar a tu héroe/héroa y pelear en batallas por turnos mientras la trama intenta venderte el drama místico de Avalon con cara seria. La primera impresión es como entrar a una tienda de hadas: bonito, colorido, y con aroma a “esto es más simple de lo que parece”. Funciona como un RPG ligero: no viene a destronarle el trono a los titanes del género, viene a darte una aventura accesible, con progreso y logros, para jugar en solitario y sentir que “avanzaste” sin que el juego te pida un doctorado en builds. [h2]✨ Luz de Hada vs. Polvo en el Ala[/h2] Lo Bueno: ✅ 🧙‍♀️ Rol por turnos accesible: ideal si quieres estrategia ligera sin sudar sangre. ✅ 🎨 Personalización de personaje: lo suficiente para sentir que tu protagonista es “tuya”. ✅ 📖 Enfoque en historia/aventura: se nota que quiere contar algo, no solo encadenar peleas. ✅ 🎮 Compatibilidad total con mando: sofá-friendly, como debería ser. ✅ 🏆 Logros de Steam + Steam Cloud + cromos: checklist completo para coleccionistas compulsivos. Lo No Tan Bueno: ❌ 😴 Profundidad limitada (por diseño): si vienes buscando un RPG denso, aquí vas a bostezar. ❌ 🧍 Un jugador… y se siente: con 2 jugadores actuales, Avalon parece pueblo fantasma. ❌ 🔁 Rejugabilidad floja: cuando la novedad se va, el impulso de repetir también. ❌ 📦 Contenido “justito”: aventura correcta, pero no esperes un festín épico.

No intenta reinventar nada… y se nota. Es como una fábula interactiva con combates amables: te deja avanzar, te deja respirar, y rara vez te exige. Ahora, lo controversial: con 2 jugadores actuales, esto es literalmente “Avalon en horario de oficina”. Aun así, sus 761 recomendaciones totales sugieren que a mucha gente le funcionó como RPG ligero y cumplidor. Si tu expectativa está alineada (aventura de fantasía por turnos sin pretensión de grandeza), te la vas a pasar bien. Si vienes con hambre de un RPG profundo y exigente, aquí solo hay botana. [h3]Recomendación de Compra (En oferta o si te gusta el género)[/h3] Puntuación Total: 6.0/10 Número de jugadores activos al momento de hacer esta review: 2 Descuento máximo registrado: N/A Veredicto: [i]Recomendado con reservas: bueno para fans de RPG por turnos ligeros y fantasía, no para puristas del género.[/i] Si quieres un viaje corto/mediano, solitario, con estética de cuento y peleas por turnos sin estrés, entra sin miedo. Si buscas una experiencia que te obsesione por semanas, mejor guarda tus alas: este Avalon es bonito, pero no es legendario.

The game is ok. It's not good neither is totally bad It's pretty cool to be able to fly around freely. The story is ok. The combat is turn based and basic. You need to remember what the enneny is weak against. Should be shown. The main char have skills and equipment like an RPG. There is no respec. So choose wisely. You have companion but cannot choose what skills they pick or what equipment they were. Shame This game doesn't hold you hands, be ready to read to know where and what to do next. No VOICE, shame. That would have helped to be more involved.
