Indiana
Jones and the
Great Circle

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is an action game where you play the renowned archaeologist on a globe-trotting adventure. As you travel from your university to the Vatican and Egypt's pyramids to Sukothai's temples, you uncover a murky Nazi plot. It's an interactive Indy adventure, complete with eccentric villains, ancient temples, traps, and extravagant action setpieces that make it stand out beyond its well-known hero.

Set between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade, you awake at Marshall College to find a seemingly innocuous artefact stolen by Nazis. You head off to the Vatican City where you learn of an ancient conspiracy: the Great Circle - all the world's ancient religious sites forming a perfect circle around the globe. You must uncover the Nazi plans, and race to stop them by travelling the world, fighting thugs, and infiltrating ancient temples to learn their secret histories.

Play involves moving through the environment by walking, scaling buildings, and solving environmental puzzles similar to those found in the films. From a first-person perspective, you fight off enemies using guns, fists, and your trusty whip, which can also be cracked to distract guards and used to climb up the side of buildings and cliffs. Punctuating the experience are climatic action setpieces that see you jump between flying planes and pull off classic Indy stunts.

The result is a game that recreates the adventure and style of the five Indiana Jones films while putting you in direct control of the titular hero. Surviving death-defying feats, punching Nazis, and infiltrating ancient tombs while on an international adventure makes for an engaging and entertaining gameplay experience.
