Avalar: Shadow War

Edit: PvP is so laggy and buggy. It is so unresponsive. Game is also very p2w, and the AI is terrible. The grind is bad , very bad since you cannot auto it. The auto AI just dies and your character will get stuck with the auto play doing nothing. The devs don’t seem to care at all. Fix the issues rather than add new content I spend a good amount of money on this game too but it seems like a waste now. The developers clearly don’t care about this. It is so buggy and a nightmare at higher difficulties. Anything about floor 2 in those towers is very very badly designed. Also, the game is very buggy if you auto play or grind. The character always gets stuck and does not move. This is a repeated occurance in trials where you gather materials. In the beginning the character always gets stuck. It UI is also very bad for upgrading and seeing stats. The single boss in the floor 3 , the big dog will just send your party out of the arena and you can’t see or control anything. You will just die. It is borderline impossible because of this bug and not just not even fun trying. I am tired of playing this already. Not fun , not fun at all after a bit . Game is just so buggy.

Avalar: SW is a very enjoyable game, designed for iPad but lacks the KEY Board control functionality needed on macOS; I use on my laptop, MacBook Air. This is a Five Star review IF the Devs make / allow the WASD directional controls instead of the iPad ONLY touch screen controls currently programmed. Please adapt this to Mac OS and I will happily submit the full FIVE stars this game deserves.

It’s basic hack and slash but has a nice old school touch. Stay on top of your game and the challenges are doable provided you’re a nimble-fingered warrior. The graphics and game mechanics are very good with an added plus being that the “store” suggestions are just that, simple suggestions. No pressure, no ads. Recommended for players who are tired of the plethora of clans, guilds, whatever, which are so common nowadays as to be trite. The only downsides—and they’re relatively minor—are the seeming absence of racial diversity & the miniskirts and thigh-high stockings on some of the female characters. I would hate to fight trolls in those outfits. But then, I’m an old guy.
