<blockquote>In the age of old king Fulaos revived stories that were legends long since then. All was left known to few sacreds only and these had kept the wisdom for thousands of year. But after all these became legends and myths as well and all their secret was kept in one small tomb of the last of descendants.
<br>
<br>
But young archaeologist Mr. Bonez and his colleague Dr. Roderson find the basis of the tomb by chance. At first sight it seems to be the tomb like any other and that there are no surprising discoveries to be expected. But new amazement carrying sarcophagus is found at a close time to the termination of archaeological digs. There is a mummy which is at least 2000 years older than the whole tomb itself. From this moment on, old legends and myths start to revive in front of Mr. Bonez eyes.
<br>
<br>
Mr. Bonez experiences unbelievable adventure which leads him through ancient tombs, frowsty caves, Cairo's bazaars and pyramids of old. </blockquote>

Not sure how this game will turn out, but I'm a damned sucker for the setting.

Its just going to have tons of dungeons with that setting.

 

[Transcendent One]

Sounds like a ripoff of the Mummy.

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

Of course it does. It pretty much has to be. It's kind of hard to have the whole swash bukling arcaeologist of the 1930s thing without the whole tomb raiding aspect, awakenning the ancient curse dealie, and so on. Of course, I hope they toss in nazis as well for a bit of the Indiana Jones vibe.

But yeah, I dug the hell out of the Mummy(pun intended) and I also loved the Indiana Jones movies. IF ADVENTURE HAD A NAME... and all that. Though, I can't say I like the name Mac Bonez. It just doesn't fit the setting at all.

it might sound like a mummy ripoff but it looks like diablo meets indiana jones, look at the inventory window and tell me that wasnt ripped from diablo 1, it uses the exact same art ...

 

[Otaku_Hanzo]

I'm with SP on this one. I am a big big fan of Indiana Jones and have been sooooo wanting an RPG either based on it or in a similar setting. And The Mummy was just beautiful because it emulated that setting yet had it's own flavor. This game has my interest for sure. But, like SP, that name has got to go. Bleh. And, yeah, that is almost EXACTLY like the Diablo inventory. Funny.

 

[Sol Invictus]

It is exactly the Diablo inventory, with the exact same number of slots. It's the first thing I noticed about the game. Why though? Diablo has the worst inventory EVAR. Well, next to TOEE.

 

[Diogo Ribeiro]

It just doesn't fit the setting at all.

Sounds kinda like some rapper group.

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

No, it's definitely not the same.

"I have heard lokal people talking about this place as a cursed"

That's some of the in game dialogue from one of the screenshots. I am not sure whether the developers need a better English translator or whether this is intentional. At first I thought it was one of the Arab characters speaking, in which case the garbled English would be okay (although why "lokal"?) but it makes far more sense for the protagonist to be saying this and I assume he is not meant to have difficulties with his English.

Still, it looks like a neat game, although I also wondered why they had a very Diablo-like inventory screen.

 

[Nightjed]

its a bit better than seal of evil's "previous and nest" buttons

 

[Sol Invictus]

Cool, a guy from Tabor!

What's he saying though?

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

I think he's saying English ain't his native tongue.

 

[Diogo Ribeiro]

I think he's saying English ain't his native tongue.

That one would be doubleplus funny if it was true

Too bad babelfish doesn't do Czech...
