Spiderweb Software has maintained its unique identity for decades, crafting RPGs that evoke the charm of bygone eras. Avernum 4: Greed and Glory serves as their latest time capsule, now opening up once more. After landing on PC and Mac, this remake is scheduled to arrive on iPad in early December, marking a welcome return to mobile platforms for a series deeply rooted in indie-RPG folklore.
If you recall the announcement from September, you’ll know that Greed and Glory offers more than just a visual refresh. Built upon a fresh engine, it features refined artwork, an improved user interface, and numerous new quests and dungeons integrated into the existing world.
The game retains its distinct Avernum atmosphere—a sprawling underground nation where everything feels precariously balanced. Cavern cities cling to existence by thin threads, monsters hide in unexpected corners, and political intrigue ensures you’ll have plenty of problems to solve upon arrival.
You assume the role of a somewhat unprepared hero as an ominous threat begins to spread across the realm. The remake provides ample opportunity for exploration, including over 20 new questlines woven into the original narrative and additional dungeons that feel seamlessly integrated into the map.
The combat preserves classic Spiderweb Software mechanics: turn-based battles where positioning is crucial, spell synergies create chaotic yet rewarding outcomes, and party building remains a core enjoyment. If you’ve been seeking an excuse to immerse yourself in a traditional fantasy RPG on your tablet, this title delivers perfectly.
Avernum 4: Greed and Glory releases on iPad on December 3rd. In the meantime, explore our curated list of the best turn-based games available on mobile for more tactical entertainment.
