"Avalon Code opens with your chosen character (generic fantasy boy or girl) waking up on a hillside beside a black monolith which promptly spits out a massive book like a magical vending machine of tomes. Then you are given a message: The world is about to end and you have to record everything in your notebook of destiny to ensure that it survives to exist in the next world! That is all the introduction you get..."
A fun, new, interesting experience that separates itself nicely from the rest of the crowd with the use of the Book of Prophecy. If you are looking for something to play at the moment, Avalon Code is definitely worth some attention. It's a little slow to start, but it soon picks up into an exciting experience. Matrix have tried something different, and managed to pull it off with smooth execution.
GameKult: Once is not custom, the beginning of Avalon Code starts with the end. The end of the world, of course, since RPG is not Japanese as the planet is not in danger.
Nintendo Life writes: "Role playing games are rapidly becoming a staple genre for the Nintendo DS, with more and more quality titles arriving on the handheld. With Final Fantasy games, Dragon Quest releases and even new titles in the form of Nostalgia and Sands of Destruction, there is a lot of competition among a crowded market so Avalon Code needs something special in order to stand out. While it has an original idea and is quite charming, key gameplay faults prevent it from riding amongst the best of the genre."
