Benoît Sokal Brings Last King of Africa to the DS

By Joe Haygood | June 18, 2008

Benoît Sokal’s Paradise came to PCs in 2006, but received an average reception and ratings, never living up to the success that was had with the two Syberia games. Now, Paradise has returned, with an extensive amount of retooling and a newly christened, Last King of Africa.

Moving a game that was developed on the PC has worked surprisingly well, with the only major adjustment being the removal of the 3D action sequences, as they did not seem to work all that well on the DS. Dialog has also been tightened up, and cuts the length of the game down a bit.

Last King of Africa follows Anne Smith, a decendant of the last king of Africa, Maurania. Anne’s plane crashes, and while she is saved from the wreakage, she has lost her memory. You guide Anne Smith through the journey to gain her memory back and unravel the mystery of where she is at.

The Last King of Africa should ship by the end of 2008.
