Call of Duty meets magic and action: Immortals of Aveum is trying to fill the MCU cinema void this summer
Immortals of Aveum shoots so hard for the look and feel of a summer blockbuster that I’m surprised the collector’s edition doesn’t come with a big buttery bucket of popcorn. Or at least one you can microwave at home.
It’s even coming out in July, a traditionally barren point in the release calendar, but surely a softer slate of competition can only help this flashy new IP on the EA Originals publishing label cut through?
From its high-stakes story that leans heavily on the kind of fantasy escapism that will never use a real word if it can make one up, to the quip-sharp tone of its sassy superhero script, from what I’ve seen in a hands-on preview across three story levels, Immortals of Aveum is generally successful in what it sets out to achieve – with a few caveats.
