Review
Immortals Of Aveum has gottenmiddling-to-good reviewssince it launched. Its story, gameplay, and world-building are all decent, but there’snothing to the game that is especially original or groundbreaking.Our own reviewgave Immortals Of Aveum adead-on-averagetwo-and-a-half stars.
That said, not every game has to reinvent the wheel or revolutionize the industry. If, like me, you’re starved for media that’sbased on a wholly original propertyor just want to pretend to shoot some bad guys with brightly-colored magic fireballs, Immortals Of Aveum could be just the thing towhile away a weekend or two.
Immortals Of Aveumisn’t a bad gameby any stretch of the imagination - it just doesn’t do anything that hasn’t been done before, and that’s fine.
Cost
If you think sixty dollars is a lot to pay for a game that’s just okay, you’re right. Immortals Of Aveum is longer than most shooters, and there’s optional backtracking to get upgrades and gear, so there’s much more value to be had in the single-player campaign than there would be in similar games. However, unlike most shooters there isno multiplayerto keep players coming back; once you’ve finished the story, all there is to do is try it again on a higher difficulty.
Keep an eye on Immortals Of Aveum to go on sale. Even a small discount, putting it somewhere in theforty-to-fifty dollar range, would make the game a much more attractive purchase.

Time Expenditure
The main story takesroughly twelve to fifteen hours to complete, depending on how dedicated you are to solving optional puzzles and unlocking new abilities. There’s enough exploration that you can easily rack up several more hours in the post-game, and a second playthrough on a harder difficulty isn’t out of the question.
That said, once you’ve done everything there is to do in Immortals Of Aveum, there isn’t much reason to come back to it. Itcould be a fun game to speedrun, but if that’s not for you then this is a one-and-done title.
