Aveyond Lord of Twilight-Reflections after playing the game

Welcome to the reviews of Aveyond Lord of Twilight!Well as this game is the first part of the sequel of the Orbs of Magic series,therefore its natural that most of the areas,quests or items will be inaccessible in this episode.Maximum number of side quests were not available almost in the first 2-3 hours of game play as the characters were forced to pursue the main quest…that made it a bit monotonic to begin with.But the new day and night conditions implemented in the game was a welcome addition to reflect real like situations.Chest items were a big let down,as they were common items easily available in the item shops.I guess the rewards after fighting monsters or other chest items could have been better.Hats off to the goodies again,they are helpful in making the game easy if not boring.Some of the character images perfectly reflect their profiles,for example Mel being a thief,she is skinny and unimportant looking so that she blends easily with the enviornment-a requisite for her kind of job.Teijal was beautiful as usual.Edward was too ordinary looking compared to the fact that he was a prince.I expected Lydia to look like a “noble” descendant in Gates of Night i.e an exceptionally beautiful lady with a sneer on her face.In any case,if you were expecting the next sequel,then Gates of Night makes up for the things which we missed in Lord of Twilight.

I'm pretty biased since this game stars a thief and has my favourite vampire, Te'ijal, in the main party.

But as overcloud had said, the first part of the game bored me easily because it didn't give me time to "explore" around because we had to focus on the main quest. I had no problems with the character sprites, face sets, music or any of the other graphics since they were wonderful.

It was mostly the characters that somewhat disappointed me, mainly, Edward. He was too boring for a prince. Okay, it was only Edward that disappointed me because he was on the boring side. He wasn't very prince-like. I expected him to have had a backbone or something.

When the game ended, it was such a cliff-hanger, I couldn't wait for the next episode. Luckily, it came quick!

Shortly after, the voice pack was released. Although I didn't purchase the voice pack, I did get the demo. The voice acting wasn't really good and it was a bit on the dry side, it was another downside to the game (aside from the slow battles and slow pace of the sprite since there were no speed crystals in this game).

But I still rate this game a five because it was great despite Edward's lack of... character or the speed of game or walking pace. And the voice pack is optional.
