'Ankh' has been reviewed at Just Adventure and the result is a solid 'B+':Ladies and Gentleman, step this way please! Follow me into my humble nomadic reviewers’ tent, where today you shall feast your eyes upon a most precious object from a land far, far away. Gather around now, as I unveil this rarest of rare specimens: a genuine comic adventure! Yessirs and madams, Ankh is the name, and it comes to you from the fine folks at Deck 13 Interactive, all the way from Germany. As you might have already guessed from the name by now, the game is indeed set in Egypt – the land of mighty Pharoahs, colossal Pyramids and much sand. What’s that you say? “Buggerit! … not ANOTHER game set in Egypt!”? Ah, well. Sure you’ve played your fair share of Riddle of the Sphinx, Tomb of the Pharoah, Egypt II: The Heliopolis Prophecy and The Egyptian Prophecy: Fate of Ramses. But I ask you, did any of these games require you to operate a drive through Camel-O-Wash, fight toothless crocodiles in the Nile and make stinky fish burgers for assassins? Settle down now, and take a long, cool sip of your sweet sherbets, as I recount to you my impressions of this spanking new adventure. |
