Remember the story about that really cool action hero who fought the Nazis and a supernatural threat in a variety of exotic locales, always with good-looking women by his side? You know, the one whose adventures take place in 1936? Dr. Indiana Jones? Who’s that? I’m talking about Fenton Paddock, the hero of the adventure game Lost Horizon, developed by Animation Arts and first released on the PC in 2010. This adventure game about a daring hero (again, NOT Indiana Jones) was an entertaining adventure game with great visuals (for an adventure game) and strong characters.
Deep Silver FISHLABS, most known for its Galaxy on Fire series, just announced today that it will be bringing the adventure game to iOS in July (an Android release will soon follow). The developers announced that they will add English and German voice-over acting by currently-popular dubbing actors for TV and movie, which, hopefully, translates into some top notch voice-over work. I’ve played this game on the PC, and I found it quite enjoyable. The dialogue was interesting, and the visuals definitely evoked the adventure games of old (in a good way). I hope the game will take advantage of the retina display to make the game look even better. So, you have until July to practice your whip-fighting skills… (oh, wait, wrong hero, again).
