Ankh German demo (with a tweak, also runs in English & French) - Page 4

A little bit too short this demo, but fun none the less.

But we didnt really get the official 'no go' on that language change (in Ankh.ini) in the full german game did we?

Jazhara7 has finished the game, maybe she can try the trick for us? Just so we can get peace of mind on the matter

Apparently it does work on the full game too, but not all the voice files are there, so you only get subtitles in most places.

There's a Deck13 interview regarding Ankh here.

Ankh got a very respectable 76% in this months PCGAMER UK edition.

Seeing as And then there were... got 54%

76% is pretty high for an adventure game in a mainstream mag.

John Walker liked it because of the similarities to Monkey Island

Similarities in quality as a game? Or general look and feel?

76%? That's, like, the highest AG review score since Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon...

*goes to order Ankh*

He says it's very similar in structure to Monkey Island 1, has an underwater scene looking for pirate treasure, the main character is kinda like Guybrush, there is a psychic old man WHO is like the voodoo priestess, the undead god - Le Chuck.

It seems the french version of the game is 200-300 MB's bigger than the German version.
Maybe the english language is included?

(i know , i know. I'm grasping..

)

OK, just to make it official, the french version of the full game
will work with the english language fix, but u only get the
subtitles i'm sad to say. No spoken dialogue in English, just like with the
german version.

Cant say i didnt try.

Anyway, we'll just have to wait for the full english version i guess..

What's with the recent trend in gaming to make short games?

Karmillo · 01-31-2006, 04:36 AM

was the english release delayed? i thought it was supposed to be coming out today but I could find it...
and amazon has it as it will be dispatched within the next 3 weeks usualy meaning they dont have any in stock.

I remain cynical, given that I've never heard of Rebel Games

You have no idea how big that company is. It's a new division of one of the largest software publishers in Germany.
