Review Faery : The Legend of Avalon, with a classic RPG battle system

Lately very rarely RPG game released for the PC, even RPG games in the market was very strong with typical nuasa hardcore western RPG. But last week, called Spiders Studio developers released the theme of an RPG game with a fantasy world and the creatures of myth of the western world with the style of Final Fantasy-style battle. As to whether this form of RPG game? Let's look more in depth below.

Story
  
Once upon a time in the world of Avalon, fairies living in peace alongside humans. But over time people begin to think that magic is something evil and it makes the balance of world civilization Avalon became chaotic. King Oberon worried and asking for help to save the fairy world of Avalon. The story of this game is quite simple and no spices intrigues which means throughout the story, thus making the story of this game is less weighted to an RPG type game.


Gameplay

In this game, we can choose to play as a race or races Elf Elves. In addition, we are allowed to be creative in making the characters at the beginning of the game, ranging from selecting the sex of male and female, then choose the face shape, skin color, model and color of hair. Options in making the characters are quite varied, as in MMORPG games. Finished creating a character, we will show the world's Avalon.

Interestingly, in this game we'll explore a fantasy world full of mystical in perspective as a little fairy in the game environment that looks great and gigantic, like the World Tree area or areas of the ghost ship The Flying Dutchman. While browsing, we can fly with two wings behind the characters we like, such as flying straight ahead or high-flying and flying lower. Character control scheme is also quite simple to fly and are not are too complicated.
 
This game itself provides the main quests and quests that can be carried out by secondary characters. However, when completing multiple quests at the beginning of the game, I see still feels linear and less variable, so we can not get around to finding and completing various other quests before proceeding to the main quest. Unlike other Japanese RPG game, this game is not difficult for players to allow us to store game data from anywhere, without the need to find a save point.
   

In a dungeon crawl, we will find a treasure that could contain weapons and armor and items. However, items acquired can not be sold again and bought, because this game does not provide a shop NPC. And this is a major deficiency in an RPG game. In the area of ​​the dungeon will be scattered a variety of mythical monsters, ranging from Goblin to the Troll. There are no random battles in this game. So to fight we must get closer to the monsters to be able to enter the battle screen.

 
Well, to fight the system using the Turn-Based style as in the game Final Fantasy 10. This makes us bernolstalgia returned with the Final Fantasy games. The command line that we can access during the fight, the usual physical attacks, magic attacks that can weaken enemies or survive. In fact we can also launch a more deadly magic attacks than regular attack and we can also use object or item, such as Health Potion to heal characters that have been dying. At the end of the dungeon we will also meet with the Boss monsters are much stronger and have a more devastating attack. Camera viewpoint when the fight is also similar to Final Fantasy 10 which takes the back side of the character's point of view.
 

When winning the fight, we will get some exp points to improve the level of character. And other shortcomings in this RPG game, is does not require us to hunt monsters are continually in pursuit of the highest possible level, because by hitting all monsters that are provided throughout the dungeon area has enough character level requirement to move to the next area is filled with high level monsters . When compared with Final Fantasy 7 and others, we must be hunting monsters to pursue the highest possible level becomes a challenge.

then we can also upgrade the character or morphed by using the skill points and of course must meet the requirements of character levels have been determined. The results will affect the character of metamorphosis in the physical appearance of characters such as adding a wing, giving a tattoo on the head, hands or feet, adding a tail, horns, aura, and even the antenna. In addition, we also can put our characters with different kinds of weapons, armor, bracelets, headbands, and shoes. This game also allows us to collect a set of items, such as by using a set of Iron Armor, which will give a bonus to the character attacks and poison doubling on the enemy. Unfortunately again, this game does not allow us to customize weapons and armor on our comrade. Though can customize with a solid team will provide its own keasikan for RPG gamers. But the positive thing, can make us better focus on our character.

As in most RPG games, in this game we will see a dialog that is long enough conversation with the NPC and we can choose several options that will determine the answer to friendships with the other characters, such as those found in the game Mass Effect. But unfortunately, the dialogue in this game is not equipped with sound so that we can not grasp the characteristics of each character of the voice acting.


Graphic

Visual appearance in this game using Cell Shading does look good and fit with the theme of fantasy worlds and mythical creatures. Hand scratches on the design of each character to a monster in this game seemingly very detailed, but sometimes also the texture of the character that looks bad and ugly. So also with the design of a giant game environment area, look fit with our character which is a little fairy. Finally, for the quality of the graphics are still not included a category that makes players amazed.

Overall

If you're an avid RPG, RPG games worth playing this light. Fantasy world presented quite enjoyable and intriguing, with Final Fantasy style battle system has its own charm. Only, the story and gameplay of this game is not as complex RPG game from Japan.
