New “Indiana Jones Fate of Atlantis” Style Point-and-Click Kickstarter
Last Updated on November 5, 2022
If you hanker for the days of LucasArts and Indiana Jones Fate of Atlantis-style adventures, you might be interested in The Adventures of the Black Hawk, a new game that is currently looking for funding on Kickstarter.
But there is a catch: the game is actually complete, but only in Spanish. The Kickstarter is for translation to English. Not only does that seem pretty important, a look at the game trailer shows that it is worth backing.
Set in France 1789, the Black Hawk is a Robin Hood-esque character, whose adventure kicks off in 320×320 style pixel resolution, Sound Blaster-style audio, and a point-and-click user interface. Pledges for the game start at the usual “back it because you love it” €5 option, which gets your name on the end credits, and cover everything from a digital copy of The Adventures of the Black Hawk to the €25 version with digital wallpapers and soundtrack, a €38 pack with a barrel-shaped USB stick of the game, and a physical boxed copy at €100 – and beyond. For high spenders, €800 will get your character in the game and your likeness on wanted posters.
Translating The Adventures of the Black Hawk has a €20,000 target for English translation (around £14,000) and has already hit £6,000 with over 50 days to go. To back the game head to its Kickstarter page.
Gaming since 1984, retro gaming since 2004. Contributes to Linux Format magazine, TechRadar.com, and other publications.
