I would even go so far as to say it’s a nearly perfect example of a role-playing game." -AppleTell "8/10" - Inside Mac Games "Fans looking to get into the Avernum series will do very well with Escape from the Pit, and while the improvements beyond the game engine and visuals are relatively modest, there's still a lot to enjoy even if you've played through the game once before already." - GameBanshee "The game’s strong writing carries it through, and earns it a place among the greatest indie RPGs. 9.0/10" - Game Chronicles "It is a tribute to indie gaming as a whole that a game made by such a tiny team can swell into such an involving, engrossing and glorious fantasy epic. - 9/10" - The Digital Fix "If you're looking for a complex single player RPG and value content at the expense of visuals, don't miss this title. 8/10" - Impulse Gamer "Spiderweb Software have provided a vast world in which to get lost, and a hefty quest in which to sink your teeth, which will reward those who can overlook its lack of finesse with many hours of enjoyable adventure." - Indie Game Magazine "Take this one with you on car trips, use it to replace your TV shows on summer break, whatever. No self-respecting fan of RPGs should be without it." - Technology Tell Avernum: Escape From the Pit HD is an epic, indie fantasy role-playing adventure. It is optimized for the iPad and features an enormous world, a fascinating story, and 30+ hours of gameplay. Avernum is the first chapter in an epic tale, the story of imprisonment, rebellion, and the struggle for freedom against overwhelming odds. Avernum: Escape From the Pit features: Epic fantasy adventure in an enormous underworld. Huge outdoors and eighty towns and dungeons. Three separate game-winning quests. Seek safety, escape or revenge. Do just one of them or all three! Unique races and settings make Avernum different from any adventure out there. Dozens of side quests and hundreds of magical artifacts. Rich game system with over 50 spells and battle disciplines and a multitude of beneficial character traits to choose from. The Story: You have been banished to the underworld, never to see the light of day again. The surface is ruled by the cruel Emperor Hawthorne, master of the Empire. All of the known lands are subject to his brutal command. Everyone who speaks out, who misbehaves, who doesn’t fit in is cast into the dark, volcanic pits of Avernum, far below the surface. There, you are expected to die, a victim of starvation, horrible monsters, or simple despair. But not all of the Avernites have surrendered. With magic and steel, they are forging a new nation deep underground. You can join them and fight for safety. Or freedom. Or even, if you dare, revenge on the surface-worlders who tried to destroy you. ## Avernum HD Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple123/v4/d1/5c/87/d15c87f2-62f9-3133-966f-731d0d27fb92/mzl.eeydqnxv.jpg/1024x768.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/ce/72/22/ce722220-561b-58c2-df98-4471e0969c7b/mzl.ngujmerw.jpg/1024x768.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/de/a2/49/dea249db-77d0-cfde-9029-6e017223122a/mzl.jfqonrib.jpg/1024x768.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple113/v4/09/38/81/09388100-f960-c7a9-d65d-0f8783665e96/mzl.qtruzifx.jpg/1024x768.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple123/v4/b3/89/e2/b389e293-c860-48f8-8af9-8890de4ac5e4/mzl.kbbtfhbo.jpg/1024x768.png) ## Avernum HD Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 40 (89%) - 4 stars: 1 (2%) - 3 stars: 1 (2%) - 2 stars: 2 (4%) - 1 stars: 1 (2%) ## Avernum HD Reviews in United States ### ***** "An Absolute Classic" I played the original version of this game 20 years ago and its remake 10 years ago and never sat down long enough to complete it until recently — and boy I’m glad I did. This game stays interesting from beginning to finish, with an enormous world to explore and an amount of content unrivaled in other iOS RPGs -- Nand, 2024-08-21 ### ***** "Just what I was looking for!" I wanted to find a mobile RPG that was a real RPG, and not some scammy app full of pay walls. Not only does this meet that criteria, but the story line is awesome, the puzzles are compelling (except the lasers in 3; those were a pain in the A), and I could play the whole thing offline. I absolutely love this game. There’s not another mobile app like it. Great development work, thank you! I have played the whole thing, the first one twice, and I could play again. It’s a little different when you make different choices, too. -- tmleonhard, 2022-11-18 ### ***** "An amazing game and a great way to play it" I first discovered this developer on the computer, and was thrilled to discover that they had released this game on the ipad. It has character classes, an interesting and engaging story, and fun mechanics. The world in the game is absolutely enormous as well. The only thing that might be a turn off for some is that this game is text heavy, but if you like a game that is great classic role-playing with huge replay value, this is it. -- Roninj, 2020-07-07 ### ***** "Great game, many hours of play time" Really great old school RPG. Writing and world building is top notch. -- Capnmonkey, 2019-06-01 ### ***** "So glad I found this!" I absolutely love everything about this game and my characters are only level 6 at the moment. Can’t wait to continue further and so excited to see there are 3 more to the series I can play after this! I will be quite busy having a blast lol. Great writing, story,skills, ablitlies, items enemy’s u name it. Great job developers! Thanks for creating these! -- Zemeckis13, 2019-04-12 ### ***** "Thank you" Thank you for updating the app, it’s great. -- Jeff on a G5, 2017-10-03 ### ***-- "Game is upside down on iPad Pro" Love the game, but it plays upside down on the iPad Pro, this means that I can't play the game docked in the keyboard and have to then pick it up and turn it around. Please fix. -- Mark.Fenn, 2017-05-30 ### ***** "Great Game" Great storyline -- gaul4918, 2017-05-25 ### *---- "Automatic Death at End of Tutorial" Something's wrong in Avernum, and no, it isn't pillars this time. No matter what I do, the party gets slaughtered at the top of the stairs into Fort Avernum. Right now, the game is a waste of money: don't buy until this is fixed! -- AllTh3N1cknamesRTaken, 2017-01-07 ### ***** "Really great Retro RPG!!!" Spiderweb Software makes the best story driven RPG's that I ever played. If you like old school fantasy RPG's like Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Avadon, and Dungeons of Chaos on iOS, then this game is for you! -- dwcapps, 2016-12-12 [View all Avernum HD reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Avernum HD Discovered Keywords - the quest ## Apps Similar to Avernum HD - [Ananias Fellowship](https://apptail.io/app/ananias-fellowship-zwOb/united-states) - [Cavern](https://apptail.io/app/cavern-Dnjc/united-states) - [Templar Battleforce Elite](https://apptail.io/app/templar-battleforce-elite-YxNc/united-states) - [The Quest - Asteroids](https://apptail.io/app/the-quest-asteroids-CHQc/united-states) - [QuestLord](https://apptail.io/app/questlord-rQrd/united-states) - [The Quest](https://apptail.io/app/the-quest-hoJe/united-states) - [Silversword](https://apptail.io/app/silversword-ooJe/united-states) - [The Quest - Cursed Chess Set](https://apptail.io/app/the-quest-cursed-chess-set-JFrl/united-states) - [Rogue Dungeon Boardgame](https://apptail.io/app/rogue-dungeon-boardgame-uBmp/united-states) - [Shadow Quest Adventure RPG](https://apptail.io/app/shadow-quest-adventure-rpg-NbBp/united-states) ## Avernum HD Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/united-states) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/united-kingdom) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/canada) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/australia) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/germany) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/france) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/denmark) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/finland) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/spain) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/ireland) - [Belgium](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/belgium) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/switzerland) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/czechia) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/brazil) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/colombia) - [Hungary](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/hungary) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/argentina) - [Chile](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/chile) - [United Arab Emirates](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/united-arab-emirates) - [Algeria](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/algeria) - [Egypt](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/egypt) - [Greece](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/greece) - [Belarus](https://apptail.io/app/avernum-hd-oufl/belarus) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
