Aveyond 3-2: Gates of Night

[b]** NOTE BENE: Amaranth Games just {27JUL2026} issued [b]FONT update[/b] to fix text readability issue caused by recent Win 11 update.[/b] I'm reposting this review as it has disappeared from my Profile Reviews list ? [b]AVEYOND 3-2: Gates of Night {A:GoN}[/b] is an interesting and enjoyable RPG, that I also consider to be a Visual Novel. Combat is turn-based. [b]I [u]highly Recommend[/u] playing through all four episodes[/b] … They all are excellent games that combine to make a memorable tale [b]{A:GoN}[/b] is the second installment of the 4-part [b]”Orbs of Magic”[/b] series. A villainous vampire mage had acquired a magical relic <the [b]Orb[/b]> with the power to enslave humanity. As [b]Mel[/b], a former Thief, YOU've managed to wrest it from his vile grasp but yet now, you're on the run! He won't rest until he finds you and takes it back. Can you find the key to defeating him, before he finds you? Even take to the high seas and explore a huge world with many diverse Kingdoms. [h3][b][u]Your mission[/u], should you choose to accept it:[/b][/h3] Unlock the gate to Naylith, a mystical land filled with ancient knowledge and hopefully the answer you need to defeat the vampire…

Continuing this game series from the first Chapter and you get to keep everything from it [i]IF[/i] you have a save. If not... You will be doing Chapter one and two in this one. Again. Fun nostalgia... But... This one had even less character development. Like none at all pretty much. Stella for example: why in the hell should I give a damn about her? Not only I know jack about her... Even in the end when stuff happens -> I still didn't give a damn! Yeah she was a White Mage and the thing with the bad guy... But seeing as we have nothing to fall back on as an audience... Our reactions are just "okay, whatever". Now Lydia... Okay, I don't like her. But at this point I know her better than Stella. And that's because she is a narcissistic beep! Mel/Edward are the only ones that have a story/relationship going from the first Chapter... With nothing but damn arguments in this one. *snore* I even forgot about the other characters... Because they had an existence of a wall. And "Winged Boots"......... Why only MEL can wear them?! It's the only thing that makes you walk faster and it's NECESSARY... Because you are SLOW AS HELL!!! This is not a walking simulator! …

I like it's exploration w hidden items or locations. I love the storyline

I love this series. It is fun and satisfying

I don't like this kind of jrpgs, i don't like their gameplay overall. But this one felt a bit shallow? since i didn't play the previous game(the story looks like it's picking up from another point in time), i was just dropped into this world, and randomly learnt about the characters. the small part of the initial story didn't really have any substance for me.

I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!! I can't get enough. After I'm done I'll go back and play Aveyond 1 and 2. This game has so much charm and you get really attached to some of the characters. I love their personalities, the story, the turn-based fighting, and being able to explore the world.
