  • Summary: Set off-course by a terrible storm, Thorgal Aegirsson, a mighty Viking warrior, meets a mysterious old man who shows him a mirror in which he can see his own future. The vision he sees is horrific: Thorgal is about to kill his own son... In the face of all elements, men and Gods, and at all costs, Thorgal must return home immediately to dispel the evil upon his family. He will confront every danger and travel through time and space to protect his loved ones and solve the mystery surrounding this vision. An adventure beyond compare, with an original storyline and universe with well-known characters and locations from Viking mythology. [The Adventure Company] Expand

  1. Curse of Atlantis provides some good, old-fashioned point and click with a solid story and voice work.
  2. Entertaining while it lasts, but not innovative in gameplay or storyline.
  3. Your typical adventure game that strives to pay tribute to the classics of the early 90’s. While I found a non-FPS adventure refreshing I felt this one could have been a bit better.
  4. In a short period of time I realized that the problems with hidden objects, irritating action sequences, and extremely brief gameplay keep this title from getting anywhere near its potential.

    So far, I'm horribly disappointed in it!!!! The graphics aren't as good as the first 3 Atlantis games & it's done by a different publisher. And instead of it being a puzzle adventure game, it's an action adventure game. I'm stuck in some horrible scene where I have to shoot down 3 sandbags & it doesn't give you enough time to get the job done AND your mouse doesn't move smoothly enough and I've slowed down the graphics acceleration, but, it's not making a bit of difference. So far, I hate this game! I was absolutely in love with the first 2 and the 3rd one had good puzzles, but, was virtually plotless. Expand

    The graphics are very lousy, Thorgal is only a walking shadow,and objects are invisible. I'm really dissapointed with this game.

    A complete waste of money. another typical adventure game company/dreamcatcher product: poorly designed, slickly packaged, and almost completely player-nonfriendly. not to mention a rather lame/weak story line. Expand
