  In 4k it does not work correctly. The items are very small. However the real problem is that the command line (with "combine x with y" or "take z") is not clearly visible.

  This looks ok, but point and click games are not for me.

  Great graphics, dumb plot, bad animation. I love point & clicks and this is the worst one I have ever played. so much unnecessarily difficult hidden items, illogical plot, and tons of unnecessary walking around. Overall pass on this one.

  They've fixed the language issue that one of the reviewers posted previously, so don't worry about that! This game is defintely fun, if you like classic adventure games, this is one to try!

  Ankh is a fun romp of a point and click adventure game, a bit challenging, a lot tongue in cheek, and a tad 4th wall breaking. The song and dance about girls and hair is hysterical. Game: Assil manages to get a death curse and now he must break it. Follow his adventure from breaking out of his house (He is grounded), dealing with a man eating crocodile, goofy palace guards, looney market merchants (and a very talkative slave), rescuing a damsel with attitude (Thara), some palace intrigue (and the pharoah's daughter), a missing caravan leader, and finally the underworld and Osiris, the Lord of the Underworld. First in a series of three. Good storyline, nice art work, and with lots of humor built in. The dialogue options are a must read. Do not forget this game can be challenging, and at several points the player must switch back and forth between Assil and Thara. NOTE: Best guide is written by Deck 13 Interactive (Walkthrough by MaGtRo copyright March 2006) and can be found on the internet. (www.gameboomers.com/wtcheats/pcAa/ankh.htm)

  This was a fun point and click with light humor. Puzzles were not overly difficulty which kept the plot moving. The length was perfect for introducing this three part series. I rushed to purchase the next two tales. Any racey jokes were mild enough I felt comfortable my kids overhearing. Lots of fun I would run through it again.

  This game started out well but by chapter 3 it became painful. Chapter 4 was just torturous. The story is only ok, and the puzzles are convoluted and irritating at best. There is no fast travel, and even if you can get the character to run, he ambles about slowly making odd turns and generally being a slow pain in the butt. I was using a walkthrough by chapter 3, and still the time it took to get from one place to another was torturous. Sometimes it was literally 20 screens between actions and then you would just do one thing and have to march all the way back the way you came for the next part. I can't imagine how horrible this game would have been without a walkthrough to keep me from wandering aimlessly. As it was, I almost quit part way through chapter 4 when they had you backtrack across the entire map for the 8th time in a row. It's like the designers WANT you to be irritated and start to hate the scenery that was interesting at first. I'm glad I used a walkthrough though because the tasks were completely unpredictable and about half the time you had no help whatsoever. I could have been wandering for hours just to find out that this item I just found needs to be used 20 screens away in a way that I never could have predicted. In short, this game is bad. There wasn't a single part that really made me think, and the flat, predictable story wasn't worth the pain of the back and forth with the poor game mechanics. 3/10

  I've already write a lot of reviews for games I've played, and I must say that the "Check this box if you received this product for free" bothers me a lot. I never receive anything free. I mean this box always remind me I have no luck in my life. And that's indeed a good intro for this review, as we can say the Hero of Ankh has the same luck than me... Ankh is an adventure game, old school designed (mean no fancy stuff, a lot of go/back to nowhere to get one portion of the thing you need to assemble/get/drink, lot of silly jokes). It's quite enjoyable but I must say than the few times you need to go back and forth to desert is quite painful. Shortcuts would have been much welcomed. Enigmes are quite simple, but they are also long to achieve because the game asks you to move all the time to get stuff. So the length of the game is at least twice what it should be. Characters are fun and well done, it's really in the spirit of the old Monkey Island games. Ankh is a decent game you may enjoy for the few hours of fun it can give you. That's all, you'll certainly forget about it 10 minutes after the end. Overall : 6/10, fun, not amazing.
