Immortals of Aveum™

Generic UE5 stutter fest, neither worth your time, nor your money. Don't even grab it on sale.

Palpable performance issues, the map menu is awful and I would have liked to get an important exploration tool earlier than chapter 8. BUT. Honestly the game is very, VERY fun (gameplay loop didnt get boring even after 18 hours) and the story actually kinda slaps. Voice acting is super good, dialogue flows well and is mostly natural (can be a lil cringy sometimes, sure. it's not for everyone). There is a NG+ option, which is always pretty great. Graphically it is very pretty, but in combination with the performance issues I can't highlight that bit too much unfortunately. It's a travesty what happened with the game's reception. No joke, this game deserves so much better.

Immortals of Aveum is a first-person magic shooter that tries to merge the pacing of modern action games with a fantasy setting built around spellcasting instead of guns. The premise follows Jak, a street-level thief turned battlemage, who is pulled into a large-scale conflict known as the Everwar. The narrative focuses on personal growth and political intrigue, giving the campaign a clear emotional through-line even when the worldbuilding becomes dense. The core appeal is its spell-based combat. Instead of traditional firearms, you wield three color-coded schools of magic that fill the roles of shotgun, rifle, and rapid-fire weapons. Each school has several abilities and alternate modes that can be layered together, and the game encourages constant switching. Encounters feel fast and aggressive, with mobility and timing playing a large role. Progression is skill-tree driven. You earn points to enhance specific spell archetypes or unlock new tactical options. The system adds variety without overwhelming you with unnecessary complexity. Gear and sigils provide additional stat tuning so you can lean into burst damage, control effects, or survivability depending on your preferred rhythm. Level design is mostly linear, but optional rooms and traversal puzzles break up the action. These segments use magical tools gained through the story, creating Metroid-like backtracking opportunities. They are not difficult, yet they help pace the campaign and showcase the world’s visual style. The game’s presentation is one of its strengths. Environments feature bright color palettes, crystalline structures, and sprawling battlegrounds. Spell effects are elaborate and readable, and the soundtrack reinforces the high-fantasy scale. Performance varies by platform, because the game relies heavily on visual effects, but recent patches have improved stability. Enemy variety is adequate. You fight armored soldiers, spectral creatures, and larger bosses that require specific spell combinations to break shields or exploit weaknesses. Combat readability stays consistent, and even chaotic fights remain manageable once you understand the color-coded systems. Immortals of Aveum succeeds when it leans into its identity as a spell-shooter with momentum-driven combat. The story is straightforward but earnest, the world is vibrant, and the progression loop is satisfying. While its linear structure and performance demands may limit its reach, the overall experience delivers a distinctive take on the first-person action genre.

If you can overlook the game's weak story, its dull dialogue, and its poorly constructed plot, you'll genuinely enjoy it. Unfortunately, the bad writing isn't easy to ignore. The gameplay and combat are fun — and I'm not usually a fan of first-person shooters, but I found myself really enjoying it. The variety of weapons and abilities is entertaining, even if somewhat limited. Visually, the game is stunning — vibrant and colorful, with excellent graphical quality. Enemy variety is decent, but they become very repetitive, and combat patterns grow stale in the final third of the game. The story is the game's biggest weakness. The way the narrative and dialogue are presented is painfully bad — almost indescribably so. In my opinion, had the developers paid more attention and care to the story, this could have been a game worthy of a score above 85. As it stands, my final rating is 75/100 — and that's being generous. I'd only recommend buying it on a very deep discount. إن تجاهلت قصة اللعبة الركيكة وحواراتها الغبية وحبكتها المنتهكة فستسمتع باللعبة جدا, للأسف ليس من السهل تجنب سوء القصة مع ذلك. أسلوب اللعب والقتال ممتع, وأنا لست من محبين ألعاب تصويب المنظور الأول لكن استمتعت بها جدا, تنوع الأسلحة والقدرات ممتع وإن كان محدودا إلى حد ما. اللعبة بصريًا جميلة جدا ومليئة بالألوان وجودة الرسومات فيها ممتازة. تنوع الأعداء جيد لكن يصبحوا مكررين جدا وأساليب القتال مكررة في الثلث الأخير منها. القصة هي سلبية اللعبة الكبرى, وطريقة طرح القصة والمحادثات فيها قبيحة بشكل لا يوصف, في ظني لو أولوا القصة اهتماما أكبر وحرص لكانت لعبة تستحق تقييم يصل آلى فوق 85 . لكن تقييمي النهائي لها 75 من 100 مع الرأفة, أنصح بشرائها مع تخفيض قوي جدا فقط.

the particle effects combined with the gameplay is good but they seriously could've levelled up their writing in the later segments. Buy this only when its on sale

10/10 Good graphics, interesting story lane a lot of puzzles, secrets and places to come back with a new ability or spell later. Creative levels, various enemies, amazing magic fighting system. I liked this game very much.

♥♥♥♥ ass boring game. Boring story, repetitive gameplay, all weapons are almost the same. Not worth the price.

It's not "bad", but so far from being good either. It's basically a fruity version of Doom Eternal with worse writing, worse enemies, worse weapon selection, less lifeless world, and a more contrived plot. It's one of those games that you buy on sale, play it because," hey you spent a few bucks on it". But, it's toeing the line of being just entertaining enough to see it through.
