Trouble is afoot in the once peaceful land of Turnvale... Skori warriors (vicious mercenaries under the control of the mysterious Temptress) have arrived. But who is the Temptress, and more importantly, where is she?
From the creators of the Broken Sword series, Revolution Software, comes the first in a series of 'Virtual Theater' adventure game.
Non-playable characters will walk around and perform different actions regardless of your interaction with them. There is a variety of options and commands, including the possibility of interaction with a supporting character, whom you can give orders in order to solve some of the game's puzzles.
Lure of the Temptress has an intuitive point and click system. Everything you need to do (movie, talk, search and fight) is controlled via the mouse and its two buttons. It's all you need to explore a large and complex game world with over 60 screens to explore... more than 25 intriguing characters to interact with... and of course, Selena - the Temptress.
Minimum system requirements: Windows XP or Windows Vista, 1 GHz Processor (1.4 GHz recommended), 512MB RAM (1 GB recommended), 3D graphics card compatible with DirectX 7 (compatible with DirectX 9 recommended), Mouse, Keyboard.
I've played Lure of the Temptress long years ago, but it was one of the selected few that kept me returning on them to finish. Together with the Indiana and Monkey Island series, Lure of the Temptress is a fun voyage, easy enough but also, hard enough to keep you entrhilled until you manage to finish it.
I played this on the ST when it first came out (only as monkey island was out of stock) As you can imagine your virgin adventure game always has a special place in your heart. The end left it for a sequal and i waited for years for the 2nd game to come but it never did.. will they ever surprise me?
An early, clumsy graphic adventure. Lots of silly fetch quests, seemingly pointless actions. For free, it's worth it to dedicated fans of the genre and historians, but I recommend everyone else skip it.
(In comparison, the company's next game: Beneath a Steel Sky, I highly recommend! And it's free too!)
