Ankh Review
Ankh is a 3D cartoon-like adventure game created by Deck13. It is set in Egypt and features many hours worth of gameplay. As AdventureGamers warns in their review, don’t take the game too seriously and you will enjoy it.
“Okay, so maybe there was no such memo literally, but for all intents and purposes, there may as well have been one issued ten years ago or more. Long gone are the days of Discworld, Monkey Island, Space Quest, and Zork. Funny is out, grit is in. Reality sells, laughter flops. At least, that’s how publishers read the “marketplace realities”, and what they see is what we get.
Fortunately, there are still a few developers that believe there’s as much future for comic adventures as there is history. Among them is a German team called Deck 13, who are defying the longstanding amusement-free industry trend with their latest release, Ankh. So is this the game that will drag the genre thigh-slapping and side-splitting out of the dark, foreboding shadows and back into the light? As it turns out, probably not on its own, but it’s bold in its attempt, and there is much to enjoy for those who don’t require an adventure to take itself too seriously.”
