Immortals of Aveum Treats the History of War Right

One of the most surprising elements of Ascendant Studios’ Immortals of Aveum is how the game doesn’t just put a fantasy spin on standard shooter tropes, but also provides a surprisingly nuanced look at the realities of war. Much like the real-world conflicts that have afflicted humanity throughout its existence, the history of Immortals of Aveum’s Everwar reveals a battle where the lines between right and wrong quickly become muddled. This lends an unexpected level of gravitas to a conflict that many games might simply use as set dressing.
