Avatar Adventurers Online - My Opinion

Today I decided that I really need to knuckle down and just look at a few different games so I could post about something other that LBP.

One of the games I tried out was an indie title called Avatar Adventure online. It's developed by a guy who goes by the name of Squarebananas, and basically, it's a massively multiplayer online role-playing-game, or MMORPG for short.

If you are familiar with games such as Runescape, or even to some extent Minecraft, then you will understand the game's basic mechanics. The basis of the game being that you start at level one, and acquire XP by killing various different enemies, then leveling up and eventually being able to kill yet bigger enemies to get more XP, whilst also gaining new and more powerful items to help aid you. In essence it does become a cycle of gameplay, but I do think it's one that does prove to be entertaining as it follows the same formula as any basic MMO game.

Now, I should probably point out that I did only try out the trial and that does run on a set time limit, but I think I was able to get a good feel for what the game is like.

The game can be played as single player, but it is primarily intended to played as multiplayer, which can be up to 16 people on one server.

The trial did only offer 5 different areas to explore and had a level cap of 5, but the full version, which costs only a mere 240 Microsoft Points contains (I believe) 35 different areas, as well as a total level cap of 99, which would provide a great load of gameplay. To give an example, in the trial which only lasts for 5 minutes, I was only able to become level 2. I wasn't solely battling enemies, but it does give a rough idea.

Also having 'Avatar' in the title you get to play as your own Xbox avatar, which does actually make it more enjoyable, compared to having a pre-created character.
Another thing I think I should point out is that game has been developed by a single person, so the textures and renders aren't that great, but it is far better than some other games I've previously seen.

Overall I think this is a great indie game and most definitely one worth getting. I recommend that you first get the trail. If it doesn't grab your attention, then you most probably won't like the full game, although if you do, then I believe that those 240 Microsoft Points will be very well spent.

So, that's what I think and I hope you guys will possibly agree and definitely go and have a go on the trial. I've been randomthings and as always, thank you for reading.
