Avatar: The last airbender
Avatar: The last airbender Theres a little RPG game on based upon the Nickelodeon animated TV series, Avatar: The Last Airbender that is available to play online.
The game is unfortunately not an adventure-based RPG game and is only a turn-based battle where you have to face up against one character and several of his minions. There's only one screen presented in front of you and all you have to do it pick which attack you want to execute, or to sit back and defend against your enemies' attacks.
The graphics of the game are exactly identical to the animation of the cartoon. Since everything takes place in one scene, it's great to see how detailed each character is. The attacks are well animated too with a mix of fire, water and other elemental types.
The one thing that may deter your enjoyment of the game is its hard learning curve and difficulty. You will have to plan and strategize your next moves carefully or else, the odds will certainly overwhelm you. Since you control Aang (the main protagonist) he's not all the powerful compared to your opponent Zuko.
It's also not fair that Zuko can summon more minions for himself and therefore, it takes even longer for you to defeat him as you'll have to dispatch attacks on his buddies too. The one helpful thing this game provides is that it will tell you when it is the best time to block. This was a lifesaver since there will be up to four or maybe five other people attacking you all at once.
The music can be a bit loud and annoying as well. Although it is supposed to be an epic orchestral piece supporting the heat of battle, I still felt the music was repetitive and not very soothing to the ears. It will also take you a long time to defeat Zuko.
Since this is a turn-based RPG style battle, you will have to sit and wait until your enemies have all attacked first until you can fight back. Not to mention his life bar does not deplete at a fast pace. If you have the patience and skill to persevere in this game, then you may find some enjoyment to it.
Avatar: The Last Airbender is not a bad game, but it won't be for everyone's liking. RPG and fans of the animated show, will get the most fun out of this little online game. But if you're more into action style of gameplay, then I'd advise you to look elsewhere. The turn-based gameplay is just too slow for fighting game fans to enjoy.
