Escape From Atlantis is an adventure game released for the Nintendo NES in 1987. The player’s main objective is to survive and escape from the sinking island of Atlantis by navigating through various hazards and enemies. The game is set on a grid-based map where players must strategically move their characters to safety before the island disappears underwater.
The pace of the game is moderate, requiring thoughtful planning rather than fast reflexes. A unique mechanic involves managing limited movement options while avoiding dangerous sea creatures such as sharks and whales that threaten to attack the player’s escape routes. Additionally, players can use boats and rafts to traverse water, adding a layer of resource management to the gameplay.
One distinctive feature of Escape From Atlantis is its combination of strategic movement and survival elements within an island that gradually diminishes, creating a sense of urgency. This gradual environmental change encourages careful decision-making, setting it apart from more straightforward adventure titles on the NES platform.
