Avencast: Rise of the Mage Preview

The editors at GameZone have put together their own hands-on preview of ClockStone Software's Avencast: Rise of the Mage.
The game plays in an isometric viewpoint, but the camera is not always your friend. You will discover the laborious nature of moving the camera about when you are fighting near the start of the game. Coupled with the fact that you actually have to click on the target to cast a ranged spell at it even while it is moving and you have a scheme that is less than perfect. Leading the opponent does parlay into defensive capabilities as well. When you are attacked with a ranged skill, you can move and avoid taking damage.
