Avilion Forever

Avilion Forever is a single-player JRPG remake of a 2004 Japanese mobile network RPG. You play as a student at Avilion Academy, a school that trains heroes to oppose the dark armies expected to return. The game includes Chapters 1 through 7 of the main story.

The story

Twenty years ago, darkness’s armies invaded the continent’s four kingdoms. Hero King Helde gave his life to save the world, after raising a rebel army on the island where Avilion Academy now stands. The academy became known throughout the world for training heroes, and a new student arrives as it continues preparing for the dark armies’ return.

Choose your party

There is no fixed party: you can choose companions from among the academy’s students. The game also includes hundreds of virtual players, represented by the avatars of people who participated in its campaign, so you can take a party on your adventure even while playing offline.

Build for battle

The Action Slot System lets you equip skills, including techniques and magic, and items in a limited number of slots. Your build and choice of companions, each with distinct skills, shape your battles, which the game describes as having strategic depth akin to deck-building.

Explore and collect

You explore a range of fields and dungeons, filling them out step by step with the help of an auto-mapping feature. Ancient Treasure Chests containing rare items appear in dungeons, while each chapter also has powerful Archons and deadly named monsters to fight.

Changes from the original

Experience and item drop rates are significantly higher than in the original version, and a Double EXP option is available. Ancient Treasure Chests can appear up to four times a day, compared with once a day in the original. An offline auction house lets you list and bid on rare items, and the game recreates the original’s graphics and sound while including some graphics that were previously unreleased.
