Our take on Avencast: Rise of the Mage
Players who are comfortable with action combat may still bounce off when fights demand coordination between weapons, spells, and attack combinations. The pressure rises further during enemy onslaughts, making the combat system the clearest point where those seeking a slower quest experience may stop.
