Lone Eagle: Colombian Encounter description

Almost completely forgotten quest with elements of a simulator of a yacht (!).

The plot is as follows: our hero (or heroine – the gender of your character, you can choose before the start of the game) finds out that Colombian pirates killed his (her) friend (friend), and decides to go from the US to Colombia on the boat, in order to find and punish the evildoers.

The gameplay consists of two parts – the "classic" hand-drawn two-dimensional of quest and sailing, but the second game mode is frankly rudimentary and simplified, and also explicitly "subordinate" part of the quest, because, Yes, the game has fishing and scuba diving, but it is necessary to solve some specific current mysteries, > the management of sails made extremely simple. The game world is unusually large: even on your yacht, there are many areas for examination, add to this the huge marine area (where the view from the "high" of a third party on a yacht, but have the ability to scale if necessary), where also a lot of cases, as well as Islands and coastal cities with lots of buildings where you can disembark.

But the graphics in the game is particularly beautiful, unfortunately, it is impossible – primarily because of the very blurry character models (whereas the backgrounds are drawn very carefully). Themselves gameplay and the world, despite the formal scale, look slightly undeveloped, the story line some very sluggish (probably this is the reason full Saitoti of the game). Therefore, to recommend only the greatest connoisseurs of any of the old quests. However, keep in mind that the game is entirely (that's the WHOLE game) made by ONE person. If we consider this fact – assessment will be quite different.
