Raiders of the Lost Island 1.0

Raiders of the Lost Island is a great looking 3D local co-op game where you can choose from a variety of characters and then go hunting for treasure on this lost island however it’s not all that simple as the island (unsurprisingly) is surrounded by water and when the tide rises you will find yourself scrambling for higher and safer ground and if you don’t make it in time you will drown in the sea!

The game looks great and is a lot of fun for a few minutes as you run around trying to collect coins and crystals and avoid the rising tides, however as it’s just an alpha demo there is only the one island to explore and it’s not particularly big so although the graphics and detail are fantastic and very pretty to look at there’s not much in the way of actual game play.

We also strongly advise that you use a controller when playing Raiders of the Lost Island as whilst using a keyboard the controls can be very clunky and certainly make it quite difficult when you’re desperately trying to climb up a ladder with the deadly tide rising up beneath you.

Although great looking we really hope some of the game play elements are improved before the full release as there were some pretty cool things around to discover such as a teepee and even a mine cart which would have been fantastic if you could have ridden down some dangerous old mine track.

You won’t be disappointed with the bright and cheerful 3D graphics here but you may find there doesn’t seem to be too much point to the actual playability of the game.
