our dungeons include very specific quests. This, when combined with the turn-based combat system, means completing them isn't a matter of hack and slash. Strategy definitely comes into play

One particularly fun and interesting element - even if it's being based on world history may initially seem less than instantly inspiring - is the game's backdrop. It's our Earth at different moments in time. As the players make their way around the globe to uncover the clues that will ultimately lead them to Atlantis, they will travel to our virtual adaptations of such famed real locations as the Taj Mahal in India and the pyramids of Egypt.

We thought the best way to take advantage of these magnificent wonders of the world would be to make them into dungeons that must be explored within our various quests. In designing these locations, we also wanted to draw upon the legends and folklore surrounding them to create the monsters and bosses that players must battle. For example, those looking to find clues in the pyramid must get past Khufu, the cruel and ruthless Egyptian pharaoh who is believed to have had the famous one in Giza built, and to have been buried there along with many others he had killed to keep him company in the afterlife. Fittingly, in Atlantica Gold, there are also his mummy minions you must defeat.
