The story of the game presents an intriguing concept with a mix of engaging characters and humor, but it suffers from clichés and a lack of depth in writing and dialogue. As part one of a four-part series, it leaves players without a satisfying conclusion, and many quests feel disconnected or incomplete, leading to frustration in navigation and quest tracking. While some players appreciate the whimsical elements and the overarching narrative, others find the execution lacking, resulting in a story that feels both familiar and underwhelming.
- “Travel across a huge world of many lands on a quest to thwart a power-crazed vampiric lunatic who wants to enslave humanity!”
- “The story does a good job of laying the foundation of its objective.”
- “Aveyond is a rather classic RPG with an enjoyable story.”
- “The story, as it were, feels very bland and one-dimensional.”
- “Halfway through, the story just sort of checks out, and from then on it's a matter of playing 'where haven't I gone yet?' to string events together.”
- “The characters are cliché, the heroine unlikeable, and the plot is barely there.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it unbalanced, repetitive, and lacking depth, often relying on cliches and simplistic mechanics typical of RPG Maker games. While some appreciate the character development and story progression, others criticize the need for additional purchases to fully enjoy the experience, leading to a perception of poor value. Overall, the gameplay is described as basic and occasionally engaging, but often fails to captivate players due to its repetitive nature and uninspired design.
- “There is a progressive storyline and well thought out characters and mechanics. Totally recommend.”
- “The gameplay feels like a good SNES RPG, once you get used to the mouse/keyboard combo setup of the game.”
- “The controls are very easy and the tutorial provides a thorough way of explaining most of the game mechanics (skippable, which is nice).”
- “When you buy this game, it feels like you need to commit to spending a further £20.97 for the next three chapters to really enjoy it (and, if they're like this one, each will only have around 10 hours of gameplay, which really isn't much for the price).”
- “The gameplay mostly consists of mazes that any 5-year-old can solve instantly; the gameplay is then padded by making you go through the same mazes multiple times before continuing to the next maze.”
- “Aveyond looks nice, sounds nice, and had potential at the start, but the story just sort of wanders off halfway through, and sadly I found the gameplay to be just flat out boring.”

- “I was actually happy when a number of areas didn't have music, though they did have nature sounds that would repeat extremely often, to the point that it made my headache worse.”
- “The music is quite bad and hard to listen to.”

- “But this game is just so tedious and slow.”
- “This type of game design is a direct result of tedious busywork, like the features were implemented while the author was struggling with writer's block.”
