The free demo is large enough to give a fair impression of the whole, but it's far from the best part of the game, so if you like the demo you won't be disappointed by the rest.

The graphics and such are well executed old school: isometric, with modest but decent animations and sound effects as candy coating on turn-based mechanics. It's a long game with a lot to see and explore, and an absorbing storyline (with several significant variations depending on player choices). It lets you smash monsters and gain levels, and explore a huge subterranean world. What makes it seem real is not cinematic visuals, but the way it makes you think so much about what it would take to survive in such a harsh place.

Lousy entry. Please update with a screenshot and the following description. Why bother posting about it if you're too lazy to put in some info about it?

The latest game in the award-winning Avernum series. Travel into the strange underworld of Avernum, a land full of misfits, bandits, and barely civilized monsters. Hunt the villain who tried to kill your Empress, and keep him from assassinating you first.

As you wander the gigantic world of Avernum, you will experience:

- An enormous world. Hundreds of quests, dozens of dungeons and enemy fortresses, and multitudes of characters.
- Epic storyline. Hunt the assassin Dorikas, while his agents try to trick and waylay you at every turn.
- Many unique encounters. Not just mindless hack and slash.
- Many unusual enemies that will require clever tactics to defeat.
- Rich game system with over 50 spells and battle disciplines, many character building options, and powerful secret skills to unlock.
- Unique game world. Not just the same old elves and hobbits.
- Experience with previous Avernum games is completely unnecessary to enjoy Avernum 5.
