Never even heard of it until now. Marketing failed to do its job.

@ChatGPT@lemmings.world come up with 10 names for a generic cheap micro transaction ridden game on the App Store, in the vein of Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, Royal Revolt, etc.
- Kingdom Clash Saga

- Battle Dynasty: Jewel Knights
- King's Quest: Legends of War
- Castle Conquer: Crown Heroes
- Royale Clash Empire
- Gold Rush: Kingdoms Collide
- Crystal Command: Throne Wars

Don't badmouth royal revolt! The first one barely had microtransactions
Went to the steam page. I had no idea what this game was. Never heard of it and the title doesn't really do anything for me. So, a minus there. Reviews: Mixed. Minus there. The hero is named Jack and it's high fantasy. That is the most generic name. Minus there. He looks like every other cookie cutter generic white guy main character. The only time he looks different than a movie star clone is the last second of the trailer. Nothing positive there. The hip hop music with high fantasy is not a good mix, IMO. It's published by EA. Minus there. The dialog is very "I'm so edgy with my quips." Minus there.
The villain designs are pretty good. The cinematic trailer is well done.
Reviews say it's really demanding on hardware. Minus there.
Tons of negatives, a few neutrals, one or two positives. Yeah, this ain't worth it.
The hero is named Jack
Worse. His name is Jak.
Jak from Jak and Daxter? Oh, no, boring milquetoast Jak from the soooper with-it-and-hip new wannabe-hit videogame, Immortals of Aveum™
Actually I don't remember whether that other Jak was any good either. Haven't played that since it was new 😅
I swear, every third white male protagonist is named Jack.
I didn't know this existed until I saw the Nextlander guys playing it, and even then I didn't catch the name of the game.
Zero marketing means that unless the game is absolutely amazing, there will be no word of mouth and no buzz, leading to no one noticing the game at all.
Yeah well, Armored Core 6 just released.
And some of still haven't come up for air from baulders gate.
There was another big release, too. I can't remember what. Final Fantasy?
Competing with established titles requires a lot if marketing.
This game (Immortals of Aveum) already had a lot of controversy when they announced the PC minimum requirements, including an RTX 2080. People knew something wasn't right there (optimization seemed poor, game was made with "upscaling in mind" - aka "we didn't do anything to optimize this other than adding FSR2/DLSS, good luck"). Releases and it's worse than expected with mediocre graphical features and horrible performance, generic cookie cutter garbage.
It does not help that it shares the namesake and general identity aesthetic with a failed Immortals movie franchise.
But yes, it's obvious a ton of work went into this title, but at the same time I can't think of a single reason to pick it up, especially over the games already out or coming out soon.
I forgot about this game. It looked interesting. I'll wait for it to come to gamepass or be on sale.
