Dingo Games, www.dingogames.com,
has announced the release of their swashbuckling adventure The Three
Musketeers: The Game for Windows and Mac. Available exclusively online,
the game closely follows the plot of the original Three Musketeers
novel. Players take control of the young gentleman d'Artagnan as he
sets off for Paris in hopes of becoming a Musketeer.
Created by
independent developer Dingo Games, the game features an old school
top-down perspective with hand drawn 2d graphics. Players duel enemies,
gather loot, and fire muskets as they make their way through the main
story. The setting of 17th France, which is uncommon in games,
creates
a unique gaming experience. Minigames and sidequests are specific to
the setting - in one sidequest players help the inventor of the
flintlock musket.
The story focuses on d'Artagnan's adventures
with the famous three Musketeers: Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. Cardinal
Richelieu, the most powerful man in France, launches a plot to disgrace
the queen and it's up to d'Artagnan and his three friends to save her
honor. Later in the game, the beautiful but deadly Milady de Winter
becomes the chief concern of the four comrades.
It took 165
years, but this classic tale has finally been faithfully adapted into a
video game. There is a free demo available for Windows and Mac. For
