Description
AVILION forever is a classic Japanese RPG (JRPG) revived by its original creator 20 years later.
A story-focused, offline, single-player RPG with no gacha and no ads.
The 2004 classic mobile JRPG "AVILION" makes its miracle comeback as "AVILION forever"! Reborn as a solo experience, you can now enjoy this legendary journey offline, anytime, anywhere.
This special version faithfully preserves the original graphics and sound while adding never-before-seen assets and carefully rebalanced game systems. Experience Chapters 1 through 7, marking a major milestone in the epic story. (DLC for subsequent chapters is currently under consideration.)
Step into a nostalgic, warm pixel-art RPG world!
■ What is AVILION forever?
AVILION forever is an accessible, turn-based JRPG set in a magic academy. It features two unique systems: the Avatar Rental System and the Action Slot System.
Customizable Protagonist: Create your own avatar and enroll in the academy.
Freedom of Choice: There are no fixed parties. Choose your companions freely from hundreds of unique students.
Strategic Battles: Fight using skills set in your "Action Slots." With limited space, deciding which skills to equip and which allies to bring creates deep strategic depth within a simple and intuitive interface.
Classic Exploration: Enjoy the addictive Auto-Mapping system as you fill in dungeons, hunt for Ancient Chests containing rare loot, trade rare items at the Auction House, and collect coins to challenge the mighty Archons.
The story begins with a small incident at school and expands into a world-spanning adventure from Chapter 2 onwards. Each chapter feels like a complete RPG, featuring its own beginning, end, and fearsome bosses.
