The Escapist writes: "I must admit succumbing to a bit of gamer snobbery when I first heard about Aveyond: Gates of Night, an RPG on casual game portal BigFishGames. Don't get me wrong, I love casual games, but I seriously doubted that a casual game developer would really be able to do justice to the role-playing genre. I was wrong. Gates of Night may not be as deep as Zelda, but what it lacks in intricacy it makes up for with style and charm."
Aveyond: Gates of Night is the direct follow-up to Aveyond: Lord of Twilight, and the second episode in the new format since Amaranth Games decided to go episodic with its popular casual role-playing game series instead of releasing one giant 50-hour epic. Offering about 10 hours of gameplay, Gates of Night feels more solid and fleshed out than its predecessor and makes for an even more enjoyable adventure.
Independent game developer/publisher Amaranth Games has released the RPG Aveyond: Gates of Night for PC. Players can sample the game for one hour by downloading the free client. After that, a $10.00 purchase is required.
