About Avitium
Avitium is a role-playing card game from Studio MiK that blends strategic deck-building with narrative-driven choices. Released on PC in 2025, it tasks players with controlling a knight navigating shifting loyalties and moral dilemmas in a fractured kingdom. Gameplay centers on trick-taking card battles to sway political factions, followed by tactical turn-based combat where positioning and card combos matter. The game’s single-player focus leans into story and strategy, with decisions shaping relationships and outcomes. It’s a title for players who enjoy slow-burn narratives paired with mechanics that reward careful planning.
Gameplay
Each session mixes two core loops: political card matches and combat. Trick-taking games require calculating high-value cards to outmaneuver rivals, while combat uses a grid-based system where card effects alter terrain or weaken enemies. You’ll spend hours tweaking your deck to counter AI opponents, balancing resource management with story choices. A typical playthrough involves choosing alliances, then battling factions in 3-5 turn fights. Controls are precise but methodical, with a focus on menu navigation and card combos. While the pace can lag between matches, deepening lore and branching paths keep the stakes high.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate Avitium 7.2/10, with 58% completing the main story. Critics average 76%, praising its bold narrative but noting repetitive combat. Average playtime is 32 hours, with 43% of players logging over 40. Community moods lean "Thoughtful" (34%) and "Frustrated" (22%), with some calling it "a slow burn with rewarding twists" and others criticizing "unbalanced AI." The game’s 120 achievements (25% completion rate) focus on card mastery and dialogue choices. Price-sensitive players might hesitate at $39.99, but completionists find value in its 15+ hour epilogue content.
PlayPile's Take
Avitium works best for fans of card games with narrative weight. The $40 price tag is steep for its niche blend, but the 35+ hour runtime and 40+ achievements justify it for completionists. Skip if you want fast-paced action or open-world exploration. The trick-taking mechanics are clever but grind-heavy, and combat can feel rigid without frequent updates. Still, its bold storytelling and branching paths make it a standout pick for RPG enthusiasts willing to invest time.
