Journey through a doomed world in this unique action RPG. Videogame publishers Marvelous Entertainment USA and XSEED Games announced yesterday that Avalon Code has started shipping to retail stores across North America. Avalon Code is an action RPG developed exclusively for the Nintendo DS platform.
Developed by Matrix Software, Avalon Code extends the creative capabilities of the Nintendo DS to a new limit with highly detailed characters, landscapes and monsters, all modeled in beautiful 3D. Experience the game world come to life as almost any object in Avalon Code can be recorded and manipulated within the Book of Prophecy, making the possibilities endless. In addition, Avalon Code features extensive voiceovers and a dynamic animated opening sequence.
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."
