Dview: Faery: Legends of Avalon (XBLA)

The Bottom Line:
Faery: Legends of Avalon is turn-based RPG.  Unlike Costume Quest, this is a more classic turn-based combat (without timed button presses, etc).  i wish there would be more turn based RPGs (battle-wise) like this.  This is another game i got on sale for half off (usually 1,200 points).  i kind of wished the game would have been a little longer (though it is kind of a long game for an XBLA title).  It also has kind of an abrupt ending.

What to Expect:
* No frills Turn-Based combat
* A loosely connected story, with a bunch of quests (43 if you combine main quest and side quest) in 4 worlds.
* Graphics that are not really that impressive
* An kind of strange leveling system - uses skill point to upgrade/metamorphoses a body part that will have some skill or ability connected to it. 
* After beating the game, a feeling that the game should have had DLC or been longer

Achievements:
The achievements in this game are fairly straight-forward.  They are for things like: complete a world, do all of the sub-quests in each area, etc.  There were a 3-4 quests that i initially missed and had to go back for.  i finished the game (200/200) at about 10 hours and 33 minutes, but it took me a while to find some of the quests i missed.  i was at level 23.
