A crash landing globe spanning adventure! From the breathtaking splendor of 1930 Asia, three strangers are about to set forsth on and adventure that will span an entire continent.

She is daughter of a ruthless American land baron, facing death somewhere in the lush mountains of central China.

He is a down-on-his-luck pilot with only three days to rescue her.

Their guide to freedom is a shadowy master of stealth and cunning from a far away land.

Together they will travel the crowded streets of Hong Kong, cross the blinding snowfields of the Himalayas and ride the fabled Orient Express... all on a journey of life, love and death that could only begin in the Heart of China.

  • Breathtaking graphics and an original stereo soundtrack bring the adventure to life.
  • A rich, detailed story unfolds through characters that think for themselves, remember your actions and challenge your every move.
  • A powerful yet easy-to-use point and click interface allows you to explore, communicate and interact without typing.



Kate, the daughter of a wealthy businessman named E.A. Lomax, is abducted by a Chinese warlord named Li Deng near Chengdu, where she was volunteering as a nurse. Lomax recruits the former World War I fighter pilot Jake "Lucky" Masters for a dangerous mission: travel to Hong-Kong, locate a mysterious ninja, and find a way to infiltrate Li Deng's fortress and rescue Kate.

Heart of China is an adventure game with a romantic theme somewhat reminiscent of films such as Raiders of the Lost Ark. The game is set during the 1930's in China as well as a few other locations. It uses a simple point-and-click system for interaction and object manipulation, and is very similar visually and gameplay-wise to Rise of the Dragon.

Some of the tasks in the game have multiple solutions, allowing the player to pursue different methods and choose different responses in branching dialogues. However, some choices may lead to the protagonist's death or bring the investigation to a dead end. There are also a few arcade sequences, which can be skipped if the player fails to complete them after several tries. The game utilizes digitized photos of live actors superimposed on hand-painted graphics.

Fun but different game!

The game uses a series of dialogue trees to control what's about to happen to you - and the results are often quite fun. This game reminded me very much of TALES OF THE GOLD MONKEY in so many ways and how it looked, felt - even the main character's personality seemed to have a touch of the show. Having replayed it not too long ago, it wasn't AS fun as I remembered it being; but I still managed to enjoy myself.

Classic and fun game

It´s one of those Dynamix-adventures, they did not only simulations games. The digitized graphics are still okay, controls are as clunky as the were back in the days, but it is still playable. A fun game, nice characters, a classic.

Overrated because of nostalgia

This game is all style over substance and the gameplay and plot are subpar... Don't waste your time and get something else
