Avalon Code definitely succeeds at setting itself apart from other typical RPGs, thanks to the introduction of the Book of Prophecy. While it is a unique experience, it definitely has its flaws. Hopefully the developers are willing to provide a sequel to the series, as they can really take this thing somewhere if they tweaked a few things. As it stands now though, the game is pretty engaging and by investing the time into it, you will certainly come out pretty satisfied. Great graphics and beautiful sounds help bring this experience to life.
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."
