Avadon: The Black Fortress

You play as a Hand of Avadon, an agent of the fortress that defends the Pact, an alliance of five nations. Sent to deal with threats to the Pact, you must navigate a conflict involving loyalists, rebels, and a conspiracy within Avadon.

Travel through the isometric fantasy world, take on main and side quests, explore dungeons, find treasure, and talk with its inhabitants. You recruit companions to join your party and face the enemies encountered on your missions.

Choose from four character classes and develop your characters through skills and abilities. Combat is turn-based, and choices made during the story can shape events and lead to different endings; magical crystals can also strengthen artifacts.

Players who enjoyed the game often praised its setting, story, and classic RPG style, with some also highlighting its characters and skill choices. Others found the combat repetitive or the presentation clunky, and one review described trouble tracking quest updates and NPC locations. Reviews also mention difficult late-game fights and a display-resolution problem.
