Avernum is a world underground. It is a nation of people living in an enormous warren of tunnels and caverns, far below the surface of the world.

Once a prison colony for rebels and thugs, it is now a wild frontier, full of adventurous souls looking for wealth, fame, and magical power. Avernum's sole link to the surface world: a single magical portal, small and difficult to maintain.

In the midst of all of this chaos, you joined the army. You had a good, simple reason: Soldiers get food. And yet, through a run of good (or bad) fortune, you find that you have a chance to discover and confront Avernum's enemies.

The nation of Avernum is rapidly approaching its final destiny, and you will be at the center of events. Can you save your homeland? And, if Avernum survives, what will become of it?

   Not very good ://

   by Harry Seaton, United Kingdom - Mar 29th 2010

   Good gameplay and storyline but bad graphics and the characters kind of teleport instead of walking, a real let down as the storyline is good. Maybe Avernum 7 will be better? Rated 3 stars on the basis that minor improvements would make a big difference

   Another great game from Spiderweb

   by Jennie Morgan, USA - Feb 13th 2010

   This is the last installment of the long running Avernum saga - Jeff Vogel has created a huge world with hundreds of quests, battles, and intrigue. I've been playing these games for years and love them. Definately worth the price, you get many hours of satisfying play.

   Another great installment in the excellent series

   by John Michael Croft, USA - Jan 28th 2010

   Jeff Vogel has been creating CRPGs for more than a decade. Avernum VI is the latest installment of the long-running story of young adventurers exploring a unique underground world in crisis. Avernum is where the despotic empire long stuffed those people it did not want or could not control. In past installments one could fight the wars between the Empire and Avernum or the underground races and the struggling people. In Averum VI, the lizardlike Slith race is attacking while at the same time Mushrooms, the staple foodsource of the underworld, is falling to a blight.
   
   Can you stop these twin threats to life underground? You start as simple soldiers and guards amd can either develop into the heroes of Avernum, or die.
   
   Vogel's detailed, logical storylines, gigantic, highly detailed world and challenging tactical gameplay shine through and make this a game you can't finish in one sitting, but look forward to returning to play as soon as work, school and sleep allow.
