Anka Game Review

At first you could be excused for thinking that Anka, the latest interactive adventure game, is just some hidden object game haphazardly thrown together to make a quick buck, but the longer you play Anka, the more deeply rooted you become involved with the game story and the brilliant mechanics. The game developers, Ovogames, have tread a fine line between simplicity and involvement, and succeeded where many fail to grasp the players attention and imagination from beginning to end.

Anka is the story of a young and resourceful village boy, who's parents mysteriously disappear. He embarks on a quest to find his parents, where all his abilities will be tested and his logic stretched to maximum levels. He will have to find articles that will further his quest, solve complex puzzles, perform tasks and devise inventions and innovations to meet his fate.

Anka is an IHOG that is rather unique, from the good hand drawn graphics to the many perplexing puzzles. Nothing is overly hard to solve yet are complex enough to hold your attention. Sometimes you see an object that will be clearly handy to use, yet you won't be able to pick up the object until it actually needs to be used within the game. This involves a bit of backward and forward play, yet you can appreciate the logic behind the game play. The hint system is adequate and has a subtle approach to discourage players from over use. The hint button must recharge after use, but each time you use it, the recharge duration gets longer.

Some mini games in Anka may at first be easy, but once completed they unlock a new level, which is more difficult. Fabulous replay value. Most will love the idea that a jigsaw puzzle can be manipulated so you can use a photograph of your own, right from your own computer.

Place Anka high on your list of must play games, as we rate this at almost 5 from 5. Perhaps 4.9 just because nothing is perfect, (apart from my dear wife). There is a lot of humor within the game and the whole development is extremely well thought out. Anka is one of those rare games that is suitable for both young and old, bringing out the inner child in us all. Buy this now, you won't be disappointed!
