Indiana Jones is back! The great archaeologist and adventurer has to solve a
grand mystery once again, aided by his trusty whip, his sharp wit, and his courage.
A man who calls himself Mr. Smith is interested in a certain ancient statue. When
the unsuspecting Indy hands it over to the client, he finds out that Mr. Smith is
in fact a colonel in the Nazi army. Why was he so interested in that statue? A
girl who had once worked together with Indy, the pretty red-haired (and a bit
troublesome) Sophia, tells him the whole thing must have a connection with the
legendary lost continent Atlantis. Gathering clues from all over the world, Indy
and Sophia embark on their greatest journey. "Fate of Atlantis" is not a movie
spin-off, but an independent adventure with a brand new story. The gameplay utilizes
LucasArts' famous SCUMM system, with action verbs the player chooses from a menu;
the objects that can be interacted with are highlighted. The game contains many
puzzles of various kinds (mostly inventory-based) and dialogues with multiple
choices. There are also a couple of hand-to-hand fights against the Nazis. The
middle part of the game can be played in three "modes": co-operation (Indy and
Sophia), adventure (Indy alone), and action (Indy alone, with less puzzles and
more action). In each mode there are different locations to visit, different
puzzles to solve, and different characters to meet. One of the best adventure
games ever made and highly recommended for everyone. |
