Andrew writes, "One of the defining characteristics of point-and-click adventure games is their ability to tell a great story, and Deep Silver’s latest game Lost Horizon is no exception. It’s a sweeping, Indiana Jones-style epic spanning multiple countries and featuring everything from Nazis to mythical cities. Unfortunately, while the story is engaging and the game is absolutely gorgeous, the developers failed to balance out the story-telling with the actual gameplay. The result is a game that you watch as much as you play."
After arriving on iOS last month, Lost Horizon is finally available on Android. Inspired by Indiana Jones and the adventure serials that influenced those movies.
If you have a deep nostalgic passion for adventure games, you will adore Lost Horizon. It knows exactly what it is and what it's meant to do, and while there are few surprises, it's a terrific ride.
Game Over writes: "Lost Horizon is the third point-and-click adventure from Animation Arts, the development house behind the Secret Files adventure game series. The game takes place in 1936, and you control a "hapless" smuggler named Fenton Paddock. Early on, you learn that a friend of yours disappeared in Tibet while searching for the fabled city of Shambala, and then quickly you find yourself paired with Kim, the niece of a former business partner, as you race to Shambala to try and prevent the Nazis from using its ancient power to take over the world. This jaunt sends you all over the world, including stops in Morocco, Hong Kong, and Germany."
