Antarah: The Game, a new 3D action-adventure title, brings the legendary Arabian folkloric hero to life. Antarah, a prominent figure in pre-Islamic lore, is depicted in thrilling detail.

Adapting historical figures and literature into video games is notoriously challenging, as evidenced by titles like Dante's Inferno. However, Antarah: The Game might be a successful exception.

So, who is Antarah? Formally known as Antarah ibn Shaddad al-Absi, he's often compared to King Arthur, albeit with key differences. A poet-knight, his story revolves around the trials he faced to win the hand of his beloved, Abla.

The gameplay evokes Prince of Persia, with Antarah traversing expansive deserts and cities, battling numerous enemies. While the graphics are relatively simple, the scale is impressive for a mobile game, though not as detailed as Genshin Impact.

A visually striking but potentially limited scope?

Despite its impressive scope (especially considering it appears to be a solo project), Antarah: The Game seems to lack visual diversity. Trailers primarily showcase a vast orange desert, and while the animation is polished, the narrative's unfolding remains unclear – a crucial element in historical dramas.
