Description


Discover the legacy and embark on the journey to Amerzone. Buy now!


You are a journalist summoned by an aged explorer who has been "branded" with questionable credibility for over 50 years. The old explorer's tale tells of traveling to the mysterious Central American country, called Amerzone. His story claims that the large egg that he brought back was associated with native Indian tribal beliefs and rituals involving the proliferation of great white birds that fly continuously from the time that they are born and never land seems incredible. But curiosity and the opportunity for a good story will probably get the best of you...
  • An immersive cinematic adventure with an unforgettable storyline
  • Beautiful scenery and visuals designed by Belgian comic artist Benoît Sokal
  • Many memorable characters and interesting puzzles

The 2025 remake of Amerzone – The Explorer’s Legacy is a worthwhile journey whether you’re returning to its familiar rivers and jungles, or if it’s your first time strapping into a Hydrafloat.

Amerzone: The Explorer's Legacy is a very good remake of an already well regarded puzzle game. While the story is a little predictable, it looks very good, the puzzles are well designed, and the environmental story telling is well constructed.

Doesn't open

Bought this game in September 2023 to play at a later date. Wish I'd opened it to test it out straightaway because I now see it's another damned Microids game that will not open on my Mac Os! Waste of money which I can not now get refunded as I'm out of time. Only gave one star as I can't save my review with zero stars which is what I'd like to award.

MAC VERSION IS BROKEN

If you own a Mac then do yourself a favor and avoid this at all cost. When I tried it on my Mac the audio and cutscenes were totally absent and then when I got to the shipwreck isle the game broke altogether and left me unable to advance to the next level.

very pixelated graphics

The game's graphics are sadly not acceptable by nowadays standards. The graphics are so pixelated that it is almost impossible to see anything. Especially on big screens. I have high hopes for the remake that is coming soon though as I loved the story ... so do not waste your money on this one.
