'''''[http://rpgmaker.net/games/1722/ Avarice]''''' is a non-linear action RPG made in RPG Maker VX by Anaryu, Solitayre, and Krisanna. The game was based on the idea of "opposite forces", in this case, magic and technology. It is rather short, (only three dungeons) but the gameplay and storyline are both polished and engaging.
 
The plot centers around Lexi, a tech-savvy [[Action Girl]], and Vandeli, an arrogant mage with loose morals. The duo goes through three different dungeons to deal with mages (that were previously Vandeli's allies) that have been causing trouble.

=== Tropes used in Avarice: ===
 
* [[Action Girl]]: Lexi.
* [[Action Prologue]]
Line 23 ⟶ 21:
* [[Flunky Boss]]: Elyne.
* [[Genre Blind]]: Lexi. However, she inverts this right before {{spoiler|the final boss battle}}, when she suddenly becomes very [[Genre Savvy]].
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: Done very cruelly with {{spoiler|Elyne}}, a demon summoner. In order to do so, of course, she needs to make a portal to Hell. {{spoiler|After you beat her, Vandeli opens the portal and [[Complete Monster|throws her in while she begs for mercy.]]}}
* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]]: While Lexi carry dozens of heavy weapons at a time, and pull them seemingly from nowhere. It's even lampshaded by the gun salesman when you first meet him: "I bet you're carrying at least three concealed weapons right now."
* [[Magic Versus Science]]: Though they aren't actually diametrically opposed, there is definitely ''something'' going on here with Vandeli and Lexi...
