Avaris 2: The Return of the Empress

Can't recommend at the current price point. This is essentially an iPad type game that was 'ported' to PC. "Fullscreen" mode means a low-rez mobile window stretched to fit your native resolution without adjusting the size of the game screen, etc. It's really bad. As for the gameplay itself, it's essentially one of those mindless clicker type games. Extremely grindy, every battle you get a small amount of coin that every ~25+ battles will let you buy a piece of equipment that is what you have +1, etc. There is no actual strategy or decision making in the battles either, its just fight till you're almost dead, then pull behind troops and wait 30s to regen, rinse, repeat. No plot, no combos, no strategy, no choices, no decisions, nothing. That said, it's an entertaining premise, and would make a great addition to the App Store at a $1-2 price point. I'd actually buy it for that much, and play it while I am taking dumps. Just doesn't belong here on Steam, or on anyones gaming mac...

I recommend this somewhat tentatively. I don't think this will reach a wide audience but it's still got some very good points. I'd like to start that this is a rather old game and quite text light compared to this company's usual affair. Probably why it was the second of their games to get translated to english. Now, here's what this game is, as I think a lot of players are looking at it the wrong way. The battles, at least for the first chunk of the game are rather simple, and can mostly be won without your help. That doesn't make them boring and simple though. The main goal of this game is to rake in some mad money, experience and points in each battle. And you only get those for your own contributions. So either your character or your direct bodyguards need to get the kills. A few things that aren't explained too well is that you only gain experience for every attach you do. So you need to run your character to the frong line and manage positioning so you don't die while keeping ...

The UI for this game is very classic very nice reminds me of old Jap RPG games. But this game is really too repeative and there is only 4 types of Army to buy. Very limited Weapons and Armors and Magic Rings. As for War, you can just make your way and kill the enemy general no strategy involved. The video shows you the epic battle which is really cool but after awhile.. Its really boring ..

It gets old fast. You just take your little princess avatar near enemies, shoot your magic bolt and try to steal kills from your troops to level up. Battles are very repetative and there isn't much as far as upgrades go. What you see in the screen shots is all there is to this game. When you win battles you get some gold, xp if you killed enimies and some more troops to add to your personal body guard. The more you win, the more territory you gain. If you lose, you just lose some territory.

Well let me see here. This game is so simple, and yet somehow fits into the category of also having so much potential. It is one of those games that does so much, with so little, that fits into a genre that is casual, and yet not at the same time. And after playing it for about 15 hours (Yah steam doesn't seem to log hours with all games properly, if you start them from inside the file folder, as opposed to the steam browser) I can say definitely, that unless I misread the tone and character of the dev, you DO NOT want to buy this game. There are 4 troops types for which the player can use. They are so strange to be apart of the same Army, that when you see them, you instantly think "Oh these are just the starting units for a much larger fighting force." Really there are 3 unit types, with the 4th being the "Base" unit you receive from winning battles. You cannot recruit more of these, you can only turn them into Mages, Ninja or Mummies. The game FEELS lke it belongs on phones and...

lol, don't waste your time xD

Fun game, very simple in concept but quite enjoyable. New runs unlock further upgrades and a greater challenge, graphics are simple and HOLY CRAP 18,000vs18,000 BATTLES! with inbuilt frameskip!! Each battle is a randomized battle of some forces, growing larger and larger as you take back territory. Gameplay breaks down to repeatedly doing this battles earning gold and soldiers to help influence your sides victory in the conflict. Largest drawback is that your influence sometimes feels negligible, especially in later loops/newgame+. Compete against friends for the highscore!

Very repeative in a negative way. The character progression is very limited and uncreative. You have a small amount of choices on upgrading your character and your army is not upgrable. It got very boring and its not worth the current asking price. The game in my opinion is worth around $1-$2.

Avaris 2 is a very hectic mass-battle game where you only directly control your character and indirectly control a small group, while hundreds or thousands of other warriors fight on your side under AI control. It *also* has absolutely tiny sprites that make it hard to see what's going on and a kind of terrible control scheme, both of which add to the overall feeling that you don't really have all that much to do with the success or failure of your attempt to take back control of the Avaris Empire. Ultimately I'm just going to thumbs-down this one because I was just mashing "start new mission" constantly towards the end of my single playthrough and hoping the random battle generator would put their general in a position where he died and not put my king in a position where he died, with not much else influencing the outcome of most maps. Wouldn't really call that fun.

13.9 hours played still cant find my character
