I bought this game a few days ago and have been playing it on a Commodore 64 emulator.
Today I managed to finish the game
Now I confess that I used save states in this game but mostly because the one hit kills which really started to annoy me after a while, mostly because enemies in this game move so randomly around and only weapon in the game; the whip is of very limited use. (I really wish the designers had made it so that the whip can be used while ducking, whip upwards and whip at angles)
What about the game itself, it is actually a nice little game with the focus being both platforming and puzzle solving though most of the puzzles revolve around collecting objects and activating hidden switches. Only a couple required good observation of backgrounds.
Is it a good Indiana Jones like game? Well it sort of plays like The Last Crusade but with a focus more on puzzles and avoiding the various animals and later
there is also a single boss; a giant scorpion |
Story wise do not expect much of this game, there is an intro, an outro, some information on this game's version of Atlantis but that is it. You should definitely play this game for the gameplay alone.
To be honest it is kind of disappointing that the game is set at one location alone. Personally I wish the developers had put in some more levels even if it required a longer time of development.
Would I recommend C64 owners to buy the physical game? After playing the download version I don't think I would buy it because of some of the mentioned issues and because how short it can be if you can avoid the cheap deaths.
I definitely think a buyer needs to be a massive Commodore 64 fan first.
