Immortals of Aveum

Immortals of Aveum is a PC first-person magic shooter from Ascendant Studios and Electronic Arts, built around a cinematic single-player campaign rather than competitive multiplayer or co-op. Current EA, Steam, and Epic storefront checks continue to use the same official name, with no verified rebrand, replacement edition, or renamed successor attached to the original release.

You play as Jak, a Triarch Magnus who can wield all three colors of magic in the Everwar. The result is a shooter that replaces conventional firearms with spellcasting, gear customization, environmental puzzles, and movement abilities.

Three Colors, One Combat System

Combat is viewed entirely from a first-person perspective and is organized around Force magic, Chaos magic, and Life magic. Blue Force magic favors long-range precision, red Chaos magic delivers explosive close-range power, and green Life magic supports rapid-fire attacks. Switching between colors is central to both enemy damage and encounter control.

The color system is also communicated through shapes. Red uses a triangular symbol, blue uses a square, and green uses a circular symbol. This dual-coding design helps players identify the correct magical response without relying on color alone, which is useful during busy fights and for players who use colorblind accessibility options.

Jak's primary attacks are determined by equipped sigils. Different sigils alter the behavior, reach, capacity, and perks of each color's basic spell, so the loadout decision is more meaningful than simply selecting a stronger weapon. Blue options can focus on bolts, beams, or charged projectiles, while red and green sigils offer their own ranges and firing patterns.

A typical encounter asks you to read enemy defenses, change magic colors, manage space, and chain attacks with movement and control abilities. The combat is at its strongest when you use the full toolkit instead of treating one spell color as a permanent default.

Abilities, Gear, and Exploration

Beyond basic attacks, Jak uses Totems, Augments, Furies, and a Dominion spell. Totems provide control effects such as Lash, Disrupt, and Limpets. These abilities can pull targets, stagger enemies, slow movement, ignite objects, or interact with environmental mechanisms.

Augments expand movement and exploration. Blink works as a short-range teleport, Hover provides aerial movement, and Shield protects Jak while allowing him to remain active in combat. Grapple, Animate, and Restore open routes, manipulate objects, and clear corrupted obstacles as the campaign introduces them.

Furies consume mana and provide stronger tactical attacks, while the Dominion spell combines all three magic colors into a high-impact ultimate. These resources create a deliberate escalation pattern: basic spells handle regular threats, control tools create openings, and high-cost abilities turn difficult encounters around.

Progression combines three color-specific talent trees with equipment slots for sigils, rings, bracers, lenses, chains, and other gear. Gear changes statistics and spell performance, while talent points let you shape a preferred approach. You can also respec skills, making experimentation less punishing than in a permanently locked character build.

Aveum is not a fully open-ended role-playing sandbox. Its campaign uses authored regions, mission objectives, optional paths, hidden caches, Shroudfanes, puzzles, and later backtracking through previously visited areas. New abilities can reveal secrets that were inaccessible during an earlier visit, giving exploration a light ability-gated structure.

Campaign Structure and Endgame Additions

The main experience is a story-led solo campaign about Jak joining the Order of the Immortals and opposing the forces of Rasharn. Narrative scenes, directed combat arenas, traversal, boss encounters, and environmental puzzles are mixed together rather than separated into distinct gameplay modes.

The commercial model is straightforward: the base game is a paid product, with access also available through EA Play on supported PC storefronts. The Steam listing presents a separate Deluxe Edition and a Deluxe Upgrade containing the Ancient Relics of Aveum Pack.

The Deluxe content is equipment-focused rather than a separate campaign. It includes the Triarch's Wrath sigil, three rings, a bracer, a gauntlet, a lens, a chain, and a vial, each providing bonuses connected to spell damage, armor, healing, control effects, or specific magic colors.

Post-launch support added meaningful play options rather than only cosmetic extras. New Game Plus carries over major progression elements and lets players begin a stronger replay, while Grand Magnus increases enemy power, defenses, behavior, and combat pressure.

The Echollector gameplay update adds Shatterfanes, new gear, additional lore, and a dedicated boss encounter. These objectives become available during the campaign and give players more reasons to revisit Aveum after reaching the relevant portion of the story.

Who Immortals of Aveum Suits

Immortals of Aveum is a good fit for PC players who want a focused single-player shooter with fantasy presentation, fast spell exchanges, light character building, and a clear story arc. It is especially suited to players who enjoy learning enemy counters and changing tools between encounters.

Players looking for a magical action game with freer traversal and a larger sandbox may prefer the movement-heavy spell combat of open-world fantasy adventures such as Forspoken. Aveum is more linear and combat-directed, while Forspoken puts greater emphasis on free movement across a broad landscape.

The game is less suitable for anyone expecting campaign co-op, split-screen, competitive multiplayer, or a loot-service structure. Its replay value comes from higher difficulties, New Game Plus, optional combat challenges, collectibles, puzzles, Shroudfanes, and build experimentation rather than an endlessly expanding online ecosystem.

PC Features and Accessibility

The PC edition supports keyboard and mouse controls as well as controller input. Keyboard bindings can be remapped, and PC-specific options include adjustable mouse sensitivity, a toggle for mouse smoothing, and an FPS cap setting. The game also supports Steam achievements and Steam Cloud on the Steam edition.

Visual and display options include AMD FSR 3, frame generation, variable-refresh-rate support, and HDR on PC through later updates. These features are useful for players tuning image quality and display behavior, but they do not change the underlying campaign or progression model.

Accessibility options include separate subtitles for cinematics, conversations, and gameplay, adjustable subtitle size, camera bob and camera shake toggles, controller vibration controls, and colorblind modes for protanopia, deuteranopia, and tritanopia. The dual-coded color-and-shape system further reduces dependence on color recognition.

Steam requires an EA Account in addition to the Steam account and presents the game under an EA third-party EULA. Epic Games Store and the EA app are also official PC distribution options. The verified storefront listings identify the game as single-player, with no online connection requirement described as part of a multiplayer mode.

Localization is broad. The PC storefront listings provide interface and subtitle support in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Latin American Spanish, while full audio is available in a smaller selection of languages.

Comparable PC Experiences

The closest comparison depends on which part of Aveum appeals to you. Players who want aggressive first-person movement, arena pressure, and supernatural combat can look at fast-paced action shooters such as DOOM 2016. DOOM is more focused on weapon cycling and execution-driven resource recovery, while Aveum replaces guns with color-coded magic and ability combinations.

For a broader fantasy world with spell learning, exploration, and optional activities, open-world wizarding RPGs such as Hogwarts Legacy provide a useful contrast. Hogwarts Legacy offers a larger exploration framework and third-person presentation, whereas Aveum keeps its camera in first person and gives combat a much more direct shooter rhythm.

These comparisons also clarify what Immortals of Aveum is not. It is not a traditional wizard-school RPG, not a co-op shooter, and not a pure arena shooter. Its identity comes from combining authored fantasy storytelling with rapid spell selection, gear-based tuning, and controlled backtracking.
