Avenger is a clearly influenced by Konami’s Castlevania series.
From the gothic themes and pixel animation, Avenger borrows heavily from the existing series. But even though so much is taken, Avenger presents a game that is addictive and fun. All you have to do is button-mash, jump, and use magic attacks and Avenger takes care of the rest.
Avenger’s graphics are 8-bit in style with everything created from the old development system. The characters and environments are detailed which also allows for a large amount of enemies and action on screen at one time.
The gameplay of Avenger is to enter an area and wipe out every enemy and then move to the next area and do it again. Add in the occasional boss fight and repeat.
The controls in Avenger are one of the standards for mobile games. One circle pad for movement, which can be accessed from any part of the left side of the screen, and jump and attack buttons are the primary controls. Avenger also has power attacks and magic, but the action focuses on button mashing so most of the time it is unnecessary.
Avenger plays like an action RPG with different weapons and items that help with higher power enemies. You will also quickly level up the main character and can buy enchantments to add attack or magic power.
While Avenger is a simple game, borrowing from Castlevania has helped the game become a solid experience. Gameplay can get repetitive, but the action experience is a lot of fun.
Avenger is great for players who want a Castlevania experience on mobile.
