Avencast?

So did anybody every play this game? I just started it and it seems decent enough but I'm wondering if it's just doing strictly linear quests or do you kind of end up working through a dungeon Diablo style? I've got a good grip on the magic system and stuff so I'm just really curious as to what the gameplay actually consists of.

didn't get very far in it cause dungeon crawling bored me.

It's basicaly an action role playing game with puzzles and traps instead of just killing monsters upon monsters. It's main problem is that it constantly goes from generic fantasy stuff to whimsical fairy tale stuff, and then back again. The later parts are charming and interesting to a point, the former ones are just boring.

It isn't bad if you are into magical school settings, but it isn't anything special either. Some of the puzzles and minigames are more interesting than the diablo like gameplay itself, though the game goes too quickly into serious business while it's main strenght it's in the whimsy and the unserious stuff, so it never really gets anywhere.

Well, I just got to the crypt and I'm bored. Does it ever pick up pace?

Couldn't get into it. The interface and game play just felt way too clunky and unpolished.
