Immortals of Aveum™

In this single-player first-person action game, Jak joins an elite order of battlemages amid a war threatening the world. As a rare mage who can wield three kinds of magic, he takes part in the conflict through a story-driven campaign.

Combat centers on switching between red, blue, and green magic, which serve close-range, precision, and rapid-fire roles. You also use other spells and tools, including a shield and abilities for controlling or pulling enemies; foes can be more vulnerable to particular magic types.

The campaign follows mostly linear routes with optional paths, secrets, combat arenas, and puzzles. New abilities can open previously inaccessible routes and puzzle solutions, while talent upgrades and equipment let you adjust your combat approach.

Reviews often praise the magic-based shooting and quick combat, especially switching between color-coded attacks and tools to counter enemies. Some players also enjoy exploring the environments, solving puzzles, and tuning abilities or equipment. Views on the story and presentation are divided; recurring criticisms include the dialogue, repetitive fights, long unskippable cutscenes, and performance problems on some systems.
