Ankh: Curse of the Scarab King announced for DS

mistermostyn | July 26, 2007 | News | DS 
PC point-and-click fans who also happen to love their Nintendo DS and are pining for a handheld adventure to fill those moments stuck on an immobile train or waiting for the bus to arrive... rejoice!

Ankh: Curse of the Scarab King is on its way to the DS following two successful series outings on the PC in Ankh and Ankh: Heart of Osiris.
Following the success of Ankh and Ankh: Heart of Osiris on the PC, XIDER Games and Daedalic Entertainment have announced that Assil, Egypt's most renowned delinquent, is to appear on the Nintendo DS in a brand new adventure, Ankh: Curse of the Scarab King.

There isn't really much to go on so far, but GamerSquad imagines that the title will be a pocket-sized point-and-click adventure much in the same vein as its PC-based counterparts. Unfortunately, the brilliant voice acting from the PC version is unlikely to appear on the DS due to memory constraints, but if the mix of puzzles and likeable characters remains intact, then we're all-for helping cheeky Assil and his chums out of another fine mess. And, of course, the DS stylus is just a perfect substitute for a PC mouse.

    Not usually into Egypt-based games xD Does look decent, though. DS sure is an impressive handheld...said it before, I am amazed with the graphics it can dish out.

    This'll probably be a good seller for the DS.

    The PC versions are certainly fun and definitely classic point-and-click stuff. Should be perfect for the DS.
