Spiderweb Software has announced the release of Avernum 5, the latest in the long running Exile/Avernum RPG series, reports Inside Mac Games. Spiderweb is offering a demo of the game, which requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or higher, on the official web site.
Avernum 5 takes a new direction with the story, allowing players to play as a group of soldiers from the above ground world of the Empire who have descended into Avernum’s depths to search for the murderer of their Empress, the article adds. The game features hundreds of quests and a variety of spells and items to discover.
Here’s how Avernum 5 is described: “The surface world is ruled by the Empire. Its power is absolute. Its control is unchallenged. And, as a soldier of the Empire, you have a good, comfortable life ahead of you. But then a rebel named Dorikas tried to assassinate the Empress, and everything went wrong for you.
“The villain fled somewhere into Avernum, an underworld nation of eccentrics, misfits, and barely civilized monsters, most of whom hate the Empire. And that is where you are going. You must find Dorikas, while dealing with spies, betrayal, and assassins at every turn.”
