Avencast: Rise of the Mage

Avencast: Rise of the Mage is an action role-playing game for Windows developed by ClockStone and published by Lighthouse Interactive. The game heavily borrows elements of beat 'em ups. This is apparent from the ability to cast spells by rapidly combining movement inputs with mouse buttons. Alternatively short cuts can be assigned for easy access of spells. Also the scheme of recurring Boss fights reflects this relation. The inclusion of riddles shows the connection to adventure games. The game's magic and combat system features more than 50 spells and about 150 unique items can be found or bought in the game's world.
