The Avernum series, similarly to the Exile before it, is demoware. Among notable encounters in the game are the Vahnatai, a race of highly magical and alien creatures who live in the deeper caves of Avernum. The humans are the dominant race in the series, with the Nephilim and Slithzerikai being two other primary races. The main clash of the game is between the Avernites and the surface kingdom, known as the Empire. The Avernum games take place largely in a subterranean world known as Avernum. In-game art by Phil Foglio lends a more humorous feel to the game.
Also Avernum has a maximum of four party members instead of six (with a minor exception of two NPCs in Blades of Avernum). With the design overhaul came improvements to the graphical user interface (GUI) and to the storyline as well.

Avernum features a 45-degree axonometric display that appears three-dimensional. The original Exile games used a top-down perspective tile-based graphical system, effectively displayed as an X-Y axis wherein each tile in the grid was filled by a base graphic and perhaps an item or character icon. In December 2011, a newer version of Avernum has been released, Avernum: Escape from the Pit, followed by its sequels Avernum 2: Crystal Souls in 2015 and Avernum 3: Ruined World in 2018.
