We all know who this man is, that equipped with a hat and whip is capable of embarking on the most crazy and spectacular adventures. But Indiana Jones, not only was part of the big movie screen, we can also see it in the world of video games, bringing us (the players), one of the best graphic adventures to date.
As the title of the game tells us, the adventure of Indy and therefore ours, will revolve around the lost city of Atlantis, that city that even today gives a lot to talk about.
It is the discovery of a statue that is what starts this story, it turns out that this statue comes from the very city of Atlantis, but not only that, but this one that contains a very strange material that has the name "Orichalcum", this so strange material has the ability to shine at great intensities and which in turn possesses incredible power. In this story could not miss the Nazis, they send an infiltrator to be steal the statuette.
Indy must stop the Nazis from finding Atlantis because if they are made under the control of the Orichalcum it will be impossible to stop them, therefore we must help our beloved protagonist in this new adventure, an adventure where he could not miss his classic hat and whip.
Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis, is one of the best graphic adventures of LucasArts and one of the graphic adventures in general, a game that could, arguably, be one more movie of our adventurer, and even though the story may look simple, as we go on playing we will find large amounts of surprises and in turns in the plot, easily this game could be considered a sequel to the film if we see it from that perspective.
The graphic style of Indiana Jones and The Fate Of Atlantis is my favorite style, the way they did all the pixelart in this game makes even today look spectacular, with a lot of details in all the scenarios where we move with our protagonist, in turn these scenarios have a very own visual style, showing a great personality and a great work of drawing in them.
In Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis, we are able to observe several locations around the world,the way in which some of the places we can find even in real life are presented, were drawn in such a way that we can recognize them without any problem, because all the scenarios were drawn by hand, the level of quality and the level of detail, is one of the points to be highlighted in this game.
We must also talk about the animations of this game, that despite being a very old game, these have a pretty good quality, the characters move with such fluidity that it is evident that they tried to make the movements of the characters in the most natural way possible, and in this aspect they achieved it quite well.
The music is an excellent aspect that we can find in Indiana Jones and The Fate Of Atlantis, they moved part of the melodies that we can find in the movies and adapted them in a way that is consistent with the adventure genre of this game, without much to talk about the musical aspect of Indiana Jones, it is enough to say that the way in which each melody was implemented in each place where we go was in a correct way, helping us and accompanying us, the player, to a greater immersion in the great adventure that we are about to witness.
Indiana Jones and The Fate Of Atlantis is another click and point game that has the classic SCUMM a modality that although these days can be seen a little outdated, personally it is a modality that I still like, I think because it reminds me a lot of what my adolescence was, every time I have the opportunity to play it again.
It is usually like almost all the graphic adventures, we have a lot of tasks to do, so we must go through many scenarios always finding some object that will help us move towards another place, we must solve many riddles or obtain information from other characters that we find in the game, always keeping in mind that the most logical answer is not always the correct one and in many cases we should think beyond what is logical to solve the problem we have in front of us, in addition to having a good view in order to find more ease any object or clue that is hidden before our eyes.
In a graphic adventure can not miss the puzzles, where some of these can drive us crazy and despair to find the solution, in the case of Indiana Jones and The Fate Of Atlantis, have a degree of difficulty a little high compared to other graphic adventures of LucasArts, where many times we can spend stagnant hours trying to give solution. When I had the pleasure of playing this game, it was many years after its release, so on the internet you could find the solutions of the most difficult puzzles in the game, but I imagine that in those years the young people who played Indiana Jones and The Fate Of Atlantis, had to spend bad moments of despair when they did not find a solution, but in the same way a feeling of satisfaction when they finally managed to solve it.
This game has a part where we must choose in which route will unfold the adventure of our character, that is, at some point in the history of the game, give us to choose between 3 options that change the game mode, where we have:
- Option to go with a Companion (Sophia, she is a character that helps us in a certain part of the game, if we want, if we choose it on some occasions we can control it, this is the most balanced option).
Option to be able to go in stealth mode, (this game mode is quieter, where the number of puzzles to solve is greater, it is a perfect mode for those people who want to take their time when playing it).
Option to go to the Rambo (in this mode is pure action, this game mode is more active distributing fists left and right).
Each game mode presents 3 types of different experiences, but in turn these 3 game modes are equally enjoyable, although of course, there will be people who prefer a certain type of mode according to the way they play, it should be noted that each mode It has different scenes but with the same ending.
Indiana Jones, a saga that marked the childhood of many people, in my case, was part of what was my adolescence and what is now part of what is my adulthood, and not only with his films that in his time and especially the first left a legacy in the history of cinema, but also in the world of video games, which thanks to LucasArts was able to bring us a game that could easily be a movie taken to the big screen, since not for nothing, fans consider: Indiana Jones and The Fate Of Atlantis, the 4th film of our beloved adventurer.
