About Avium
Discover the world of the future with Avium, a role-playing adventure game where you can enjoy an open world, deep story, and future technology. Test new generation weapons, investigate complex crimes, explore the city and its inhabitants. And defeat your enemies, who are trying to destroy peace and order.
Gary, Jake, Derek, and Sarah together make up the Vanguards Vigilante Group in Avium, a desert city that thrives on the edge of Cyberpunk style. They're doing their best to keep the peace and uphold the law, but growing animosity against all vigilantes has reached its peak.
While exposing corruption in Avium's various districts alongside hunting down your nemesis, the sentient robot menace known as Haz-Mat, you'll get to fly and fight as the vigilante Jake aka "Diezel". You will have to uncover many mysteries and secrets, find yourself on the brink of death, and challenge new vices and problems of the future world in an age where instability, political nepotism, and social upheaval dominate logic. The race toward the next stage in human evolution begins! In the aftermath of democracy and rise of totalitarianism, we have colonized the Solar System, making our once estranged planets part of our new empire. Cutting edge cybernetics, super power drugs, the loss of thousands of years of history, and the power vacuum between rivaling corporations all plunge Avium, the cyber capital of Earth, into revolt.
However, a far greater force of darkness looms on the horizon, threatening to end humanity's reign across all dimensions, all times, and all stages of evolution...
Story Mode : Main Quest campaign, taking you from Central Avium to the South Jungles and beyond.
Free Mode: Choose one of three Open World Areas, independent from the story of Avium. Four including the DLC.
Arcade Mode: Tutorials, Boss battles, DLC, Cinematics, Elimination battles, Zombies, and a race to play.
"A single button can save the universe" - There is a moment when choosing to interact or not absolutely transforms the story into 'hero saves the damsel in distress' or 'hero dukes it out against an arena of bosses with the tools of war at your disposal’. Watch those Pop-in Messages to know what to do and when to do it. Your actions will give you the edge and let you save the universe...
"Accessible Lore, if you want it. Deep world, if you don't" - You have access to almost all the lore and history you'd find in the "Avium" book series, a majority of which are not directly given to you, but instead are revealed only to the most curious. Explore & investigate, and you'll find the truth! Or don't... As you fly around likea god, a titan, Prometheus himself, you'll get a sense of authority and access to everything at your fingertips. You have an AI there at your beck and call, ready to grant you all the tools of war you'll need. It's all your choice.
"No single weapon is the best in the game" - You have immense choice in how you destroy enemies through the Quick Select Menu, which is navigated by swiping through windows, like our phones and our social media apps. Every weapon affects Common Enemies and Bosses differently. Choose your weapons wisely to defeat them. And watch those pop-ins. While Bosses have their own weaknesses to the tools you're carrying, some of your weapons can destroy parts of the environment. Whether you want to deal with enemies using stealth, magic, or telekinesis, or using guns, brute strength, and war-suit artillery...you get to do all of it in Avium. A lot of it! The current fan-favorite weapon is the minigun.
We often hear of the positives of a globally unified society, one no longer at war with itself. In spite of this global peace, it's theorized that with total peace comes total stagnancy, where there's no need to hold debates of any kind, a need to be innovative, or to even have independent thought. Why go to war when everyone is of one mind and one accord?
Avium is an over-the-top snapshot of your society 100 years from now. It's a slice of society on its way to achieving near total unity between all humans, where We've replaced Our governments not with totalitarian corporations, but instead just the opposite: corporations that publicly express sentiments for cyber-genics to demonstrate their good nature and to promote the cybernetic future with their "free" services. Here in Avium, We explore areas that would naturally experience a sort of moral atrophy under the surface despite 98.6 percent global unity...
98.6 is a number humans are all too familiar with, as it's the temperature of the human body in degrees Fahrenheit. And as such, Avium is considered the new global body. With such a union, it matters not what the 1.4 percent of rebels, outliers, and unfortunates think or say. What can they really do in the face of a global order the likes of which We've never achieved before? And it's all thanks to the union of 'benevolent' corporations known collectively as The Big Four.
Our incredible ability to adapt, left unchecked, carries undeniable potential. We are creatures of evolution, after all. On one hand, adaptation gave Us marvels of medicine and technology, life-extending wonders! On the other hand, it has changed Our sense of reality...
As We progress, We leave history and tradition behind—a by-product of Progress. We're naturally and unintentionally replacing Our past with the die-hard pursuit of truth, spectacle, or convenience, or often all three. Taking this to its endpoint means that anything We "know" today can't possibly stand the test of time, thus everything We "know" is subject to redefinition because of some discovery in Our near future. Rules, laws, constitutions, and democracies are no exception.
However, this new age coupled with everyone's inescapable, dare I say 'mortal', avarice to be "right" and a growing irrational determination to shut down any opposing viewpoint has welcomed widespread disorder that pits everyone's definitions against everyone else's diverse perspectives. We can suddenly claim anything We say or perceive is the authentic "truth". And if proof can no longer be obtained by a sound majority without shattering Our concept of Our self-indulgent reality, then what is reality? What is more deifying than the changing of reality itself in but a single, inconsequential sentence without any opposition?As We're sailing through the endless ocean of "truths", We can suddenly do and be anything, united in the sensational fantasy that We have the freedom of choice when, in fact, We are drowning in the ocean of "freedom", guided only by Our desires and pleasures and unified only by Our hatred of opposition. It's no wonder 98.6% of the human population now unironically shares the same beliefs, goals, and odd lingo.
Evolution isn't a gift; it's a negotiation.
What would you give for it?"

✦ AI summary
Avium delivers intense, fluid combat with stylish movement mechanics in a compelling cyberpunk world that players find genuinely addictive, backed by thoughtful themes about power and corruption. However, the experience is hampered by UI issues, overly heavy-handed tutorial and exposition systems, and occasional mechanical jank that can frustrate during critical moments. Despite these rough edges, players consistently praise the raw thrill of combat and the satisfaction of experimentation, making it worthwhile for fans of movement-based action games who can tolerate its imperfections.
Pros? A fever dream of neon, rebellion, and breakneck combat. If you love movement-based shooters, you’re in for a treat dash, jump, wall-run, teleport. You feel untouchable until a boss fight humbles you real quick. But Avium isn’t just a combat sandbox, it’s a cyberpunk thesis on power, corruption, and identity. It asks big questions then throws you into a missile fight before you can answer them. The main issue? The UI and tutorials seem at war with each other, and some systems really needed a second pass. But the raw thrill of playing makes it easy to forgive.4 found this helpful
Avium has that "just one more fight" syndrome. You tell yourself you’ll stop, but then you get a new weapon, or uncover a new conspiracy, or decide to test out the war-suit’s flight capabilities just a little more. The game has the bones of something great: fluid movement, a city full of stories, combat that rewards creativity. But some story beats drag, and the game occasionally forgets that players like discovering things organically. Pop-ups and exposition can get heavy-handed. But when you’re in the thick of a high-speed aerial fight, none of that matters. 7/102 found this helpful
Gets constant updates and keeps innovating on new tech.. been a wild ride trying all the different versions for so long.. def recommend if you want a fun sandbox1 found this helpful
Avium – A Bold Vision of Cybernetic Adventure ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) Avium is an ambitious and thrilling sci-fi action RPG that transports players into a cyberpunk world teeming with mystery, high-tech warfare, and an engaging narrative. From the moment you step into the neon-lit city as Diezel, a warrior equipped with a powerful War-Suit, the game pulls you into an immersive experience filled with intense combat, strategic gameplay, and rich storytelling. Gameplay & Combat The combat system in Avium is fast-paced and deeply satisfying, offering a seamless blend of melee and ranged attacks. The variety of weapons and abilities ensures that each encounter feels fresh and dynamic. Enemy AI is well-balanced, providing a fair but challenging experience that rewards skillful play. World & Storytelling The world-building is outstanding, with a cyberpunk setting that feels alive. The game’s atmospheric design, complemented by detailed environments and stunning visuals, adds to the sense of immersion. The story unfolds with compelling characters and well-paced twists, keeping players engaged throughout their journey. Technical Performance & Polish The developers have clearly put a lot of effort i…1 found this helpful
They don’t make them like this anymore. Avium is messy, but in the best way. The Big Four rule the world, corruption is rampant, and you, Diezel, are the last idiot willing to fight back. The movement is slick, the combat is relentless, and the dystopian themes actually land this isn’t just neon aesthetics, it’s a world that feels doomed. But for almost every jaw-dropping aerial battle, there’s a frustrating "why didn’t that register" moment. The UI sometimes fights against you harder than the bosses do. Still, when it clicks, it’s pure power fantasy. If you’re into cyberpunk, combat variety, and existential dread, grab it.1 found this helpful
Avium is what happens when you mix cyberpunk with an adrenaline shot straight to the heart. Jet-speed combat? Check. Crime-fighting in a corporate dystopia? Hell yes. The city breathes neon, but it stinks of corruption, and you're stuck in the middle with a war-suit and a death wish. Story's got depth if you dig, but the game doesn’t hold your hand it throws you into chaos and expects you to swim. A few janky mechanics and some UI hiccups, but damn, when it works, it works. If you’ve ever wanted to feel like an airborne vigilante with lasers, this is it.1 found this helpful
