    Even as an adult it's possible to get lost in a seemingly childish world and have fun with the deep stories, weird characters and world. It's worth a try despite its problems.

    Faery is a fun RPG, but it is more fun and cheaper on the console.

    Faery - Legends of Avalon is a good budget role-play game with plenty of ideas a some control and structural problems.

    The massive character customization also makes your faery or elf feel unique, so if you enjoy leveling up and finding loot, you should check out Faery: Legends of Avalon.

    Instead of trying to cram everything but a kitchen sink into a low-budget game, the developers should have polished its core concept. Faery could have become a very beautiful, touching fairy tale, but turned into a weird made dish.

    Faery: Legends of Avalon is an original RPG, ruined by simplistic mechanics and a superficial gameplay. Some designing choices are pretty good, but game experience is too linear and slow, without any kind of challenge. Give it a chance only if you are really in love with the fantasy universe, but keep in mind that RPG market on PC has definitely much more to offer.

    Still, Faery is commendable for being among the first foray of the core RPG genre in the downloadable space dominated by twin-stick shooters and bite-sized platformers.

    The mind-numbing Faery: Legends of Avalon is too shallow, easy, and tedious to inspire anything other than apathy.

    There are simply too many flaws, and too little gameplay for even the bargain price. [Nov 2011, p.70]

    All the fights against generic enemies look the same and get boring even faster than the shallow plot and repetitive quests. If you're looking for sleeping pills that also induce nausea I can recommend Faery. [July 2011, p.75]

    For those of you who like fast action rpgs, this one has a slow old fashioned approach to the fighting but for me thats not the main thing anyway. The story is really nice and the flying is unique and pleasant. If you have an open mind, love a nice story and a sweet romance then give this a try, it is a bit buggy but for me felt really worthwhile. I gave it a 7 because there are some bugs to be ironed out but otherwise it would get a 7.5 or an 8.    … Full Review »

    I got this game for USD 5 and being aware of the criticism from some users, stating the Game was not completed.

    And I am glad to had bought it. I spent 14 hours playing this game and exploring the available worlds of Avalon and I can say:

    - The game was undoubtedly developed as a first part of a continuous saga, which seems it never came.
    - The game play is quite simple and the options limited
    - The skills and weapons systems feel a bit unpolished.
    - Re-playability is not high

    Anyway, errors are always easy to point.

    Still, at the end the most important thing is to enjoy the experience and definitely that was what happened to me while playing this game. This game gives you the feel the developers actually invested a lot of effort and somehow it just kept coming to my mind that this is one of those games that was developed with passion and love. It might sound silly but that's my main point.

    Any of you that is fond of not too complex RPGs with a gorgeous environment should give this title the opportunity to surprise you.    … Full Review »

    Le studio français Spiders est (un peu trop) spécialisé dans le jeu de rôle bas de gamme et bas de plafond, souvent mal fini pour ne pas direLe studio français Spiders est (un peu trop) spécialisé dans le jeu de rôle bas de gamme et bas de plafond, souvent mal fini pour ne pas dire bâclé et pas fini du tout... Cela dit, leurs jeux "fonctionnent" correctement en général mais ont toujours ce côté "insuffisant" et mal dégrossi. Et ce "Faery" ne fait pas exception à la règle !

    Evidemment, il s'agit d'un petit jeu, quasiment un simple A très simple mais dont la mise en oeuvre multiplie les impairs et les cumule avec un ennui assez incroyable.... il faut ajouter également une direction artistique qui n'a rien d'artistique et semble perdu dans les caves soit du mauvais goût, soit de l'insignifiance.

    Ainsi, les fées ici n'ont rien de féérique et l'ensemble du jeu est désespérément vilain et banal à la fois. Techniquement, ça reste aussi faiblard évidemment mais ça n'explique pas tout...

    Les combats sont aussi ennuyeux que le reste et directement inspirés d'un mauvais tour par tour d'une quelconque vieillerie japoniaise. L'absence de voix n'est pas dommageable mais la musique affreusement ratée, sirupeuse et générique tape sur les nerfs. Bref, rien à tirer d'un tel jeu de baltringues sinon une perte de temps totale.    … Full Review »
