Antarah: The Game takes you into the world of Arabian folklore, out now on iOS

Antarah: The Game, a new 3D action-adventure title, brings the legendary Arabian folkloric hero to life. Antarah, a prominent figure in pre-Islamic lore, is depicted here with thrilling detail.

Adapting historical figures into engaging video games is a challenge, but Antarah: The Game appears to succeed where others have faltered. Think of Antarah as a blend of King Arthur and Prince of Persia: a poet-knight facing trials to win his beloved, Abla, while traversing expansive deserts and cities, battling numerous foes. The mobile game boasts impressive scale, though its graphics are simpler than titles like Genshin Impact.

A visually appealing but potentially limited experience?

While impressive for what seems to be a solo development effort, the game's visual variety appears limited based on trailers. Much of the action unfolds in a predominantly orange desert. Although the animation is pleasing, the narrative's unfolding remains unclear—a crucial aspect for historical dramas.
