Agni: Queen of Darkness

This news is a couple months old but it somehow missed my radar so maybe others will find it interesting, too.

Remember The Lost, the PS2 action/adventure game that was supposed to have been Irrational Games' first release after System Shock 2 before it got cancelled? Well, the work done on it was sold to Indian developer FXLabs which converted it into Agni: Queen of Darkness with Bollywood chick Malaika Arora as the main character.

I would love to try it. It's only $12.50 USD on their site but they're only currently shipping to India and the download purchase link just goes to the delivery purchase screen for some reason.

Anyone played it or interested?

That's a pretty stark change in cover art. *-neo

This looks terrible.

Notice how they cleverly avoid showing a full combative encounter but dont hesitate showing how great the running mechanics are in this game.
Oh, art design is bland as hell. Some things are best left dead. Good luck wasting 2 gallons of gas on this.

gas is $6.25 a gallon now?

I doubt it's good (Levine would have probably tried to save it if it was) but I'm a big fan of the original developer, it is a gaming first in some ways, and I have a thing for brown girls so that's enough to make me want to play it.

Why do all indian singers have the exact same voice?

same reason all asians look the same.

Because you're white.

That's what SSJN said.

Yeah, I didn't scroll down to his post when I replied to Frog's.

weeeeeeeeeeeeeird.

I want to try it.

That's certainly one of the strangest game promo vids ever.

those graphics remind me of primal. I didnt care much for it, but had a freind that loved primal.

I bought this game. Some impressions after a couple hours or so:

- The story is spoken in Hindi but there are English subtitles. It's still based on Dante's Inferno.
- The controls are typical mouse/keyboard WASD which is good but there's no option for inverted aiming which blows.
- Irrational oddly isn't on the credits yet this is definitely recognizable as The Lost. The atmosphere is awesome and the environments remind me of Bioshock a bit artistically.
- The load times suck but that's probably my shitty PC's fault. I have to play on the lowest detail and it doesn't run great. It should run nicely for those with up to date systems.
- The beginning is a little boring as the combat is simplistic and easy but now that I'm done the first level (which is pretty long) and can change into the grappling hook/stealth guy, it's becoming more interesting and varied.
- I like the game so far and expect to get my 500 rupees worth. It seems like it will be fairly long so it's hard to judge the game at this stage. If the puzzles and action increase in depth later (and they probably will to some degree) on this could be pretty cool although there's almost no chance it will compare to Irrational's best.

I don't think all Asians looks the same but I think this it true.

I fucking HATE Indian music. It's ear torture.

Hello everyone,

I have read the interesting TNL-review for this game and I am looking forward playing it. My only problem is: I dont live in India. Does someone know where to purchase this game when you`re not living in India? Any chance to get a physical copy?

thanks a lot and greetings!

I don't think you can get a physical copy outside of India, at least not from FXLabs where I bought the downloadable.

Actually I would be pleased to be able to purchase a downloadable copy, but the link to the FX-Labs page does not work anymore. Also there is no order option on thier site. To be honest: I even dont find the game there :wtf:

Yeah, I just noticed their site looks completely different than before. They show a game called Inferno which looks like a variation of it but even that has no order form. Weird.

Yesterday I tried to order it from an indian online shop called "Sify" but after payment they told me that they cannot send a copy outside India and refund my cash. Dammit!

I love horrorgames and I am very interested to see what happened to "THE LOST". When Irrational Games announced it years ago I could not stop searching for information about it. The design really impressed me.
