What is Avernum 3: Ruined World?

An isometric, party-based fantasy RPG set across an underground prison and a surface continent. Explore towns and dungeons, take on quests, and fight monsters in turn-based battles as your people seek a homeland aboveground. Towns and dungeons change over time as monster outbreaks spread.
