The promotional list of differences by the developer is here [Originally posted by Twistor:From the top of my head, some Exile 1 vs. * I think old Avernum is still sold, while Exile is freeware. as far as I know you'd need an old OS or a virtual machine to run it. * Though Avernum is obviously dated, it runs on some more modern machines, while Exile requires (if I remember correctly) a 16-bit machine, i.e. It might have done away with some weaker ones as well, but I'm not sure. * Avernum has some new dungeons, both big (Lost Bahssikava) and small that didn't exist in Exile. (In new Avernum you pick the dialogue option like a 2000s RPG) In Avernum you pick the keywords in conversations instead. type out keywords in dialogue to continue the conversations. * Exile's view is top-down, Avernum's is isometric * Exile has way more spells than Avernum. * Exile has 6-character parties, Avernum has 4-character parties. From the top of my head, some Exile 1 vs. ^ a b "Review: Avernum: Escape from the Pit HD (iPad)"." Avernum: Escape From the Pit - Staff Review".

" Avernum: Escape From The Pit Released". Digitally Downloaded called it "a superb iPad port of one of Spiderweb's very finest moments". TouchArcade wrote, "The storytelling, customization, and sheer amount of content make this RPG a true powerhouse on iOS." RPGFan recommend Avadon: The Black Fortress instead but said that players who enjoyed the previous Spiderweb games would enjoy this one, too. Slide to Play wrote that the game "is old-school, and we mean that in a good way". RPGamer praised the exploration, fun battles, and character customization, but they criticized the graphics, sound, and game balance. Gamezebo praised its gameplay, character customization, and exploration, but they said modern gamers may be put off by the quest design, user interface, and barebones graphics. They later listed it as one of the best role-playing games available for PCs. Rock Paper Shotgun criticized the user interface but said it was overcome by "great writing, a simple and effective turn-based combat system, and a great sense of freedom and exploration". The Avernum series tells the tale of the Avernites' struggle to survive, avenge themselves upon the Empire, and win both freedom and a return to the surface world. Prisoners are expected to die, the victim of starvation, horrible monsters, or simple despair. Everyone on the surface who speaks out, rebels, or doesn't fit in is sentenced to life imprisonment in Avernum. The surface is ruled by the Empire, a single, monolithic power under the command of the cruel Emperor Hawthorne. The Avernum series is based in Avernum, a subterranean nation far under the surface of the world. The game was released for Mac OS X on December 14, 2011, and in April 2012 for Microsoft Windows and the iPad. The game was re-released as a graphics and game engine update, and it addressed Avernum incompatibilities with newer versions of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion and newer. It is the first game in the remade Avernum First Trilogy and the second ground-up rewrite of Exile: Escape from the Pit, released in 1995 (the first rewrite was Avernum, released in 2000). Avernum: Escape from the Pit is a role-playing video game developed by Spiderweb Software.
