Antarah: Arabian Folklore Hits iOS

Antarah: The Game, a new 3D action-adventure title, brings the legendary Arabian folklore hero to life in thrilling detail. While adapting historical figures into video games is notoriously challenging (think Dante's Inferno), Antarah: The Game shows promise.

But who is Antarah? Often compared to King Arthur, Antarah ibn Shaddad al-Absias was a renowned poet and knight celebrated in pre-Islamic Arabian folklore for his epic quest to win the hand of his beloved, Abla. His adventures bear a resemblance to Prince of Persia, featuring vast desert and city landscapes and intense combat encounters. Despite its relatively minimalist graphics (compared to titles like Genshin Impact), the game boasts an impressive scale for a mobile title.

A visually striking but potentially limited experience

While visually impressive, especially considering it appears to be a solo project, the game's variety seems limited based on trailers. The predominantly orange desert setting, although beautifully animated, raises concerns about potential gameplay monotony and a lack of narrative depth crucial for a historical drama.

Download Antarah on iOS and decide for yourself if it successfully transports you to the world of pre-Islamic Arabian folklore. For more epic adventures, check out our list of the top 15 best adventure games for Android and iOS.
