Final chapter in the Avernum series
Spiderweb Software has launched Avernum 6, the latest and final chapter in the role-playing series. In this continuation, the world of Avernum is in a state of chaos as reptilian Slithzerikai rises from the lower tunnels to wage war on the weakened citizens, while at the same time the mushrooms Avernum uses as food have withered and died. The game allows players to explore dungeons and labyrinths, while working to overcome both warfare and famine in order to save the people of Avernum.
The game consists of dozens of different enemy fortresses and dungeons to explore, a wide range of characters to interact with, and over 50 different spells, battle disciplines or secret skills to unlock and use. The game attempts to diverge from the usual hack-and-slash battle style, with enemies that require more unique and thought-out tactics in order to defeat.
The game, initially announced in early July of this year, requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or higher and can be purchased for $28.

Played previous versions
Not as flashy as some of the big names in RP games, but relatively inexpensive and engaging. If they are keeping to tradition, their demo versions usually amount to having UNRESTRICTED access to a very large portion of the game to try before you buy.
Good luck with this release Spiderweb!
