About this game

NASA is attempting to land a man on the moon in 1962. A Soviet cosmonaut is traveling the other way in a remote area of Siberia. In order to investigate the earth’s core, Comrade Ivan Ivanovich is thrown into an extinct volcano in his exploration capsule, Little Orpheus. He immediately disappears.

• Explore lost civilizations, underwater kingdoms, prehistoric jungles, and unimaginable lands with our brave but foolish hero. As he fights the Menkv tribe, a subhuman race, and manages to escape their grasp, gasp! Laugh as he overcomes insurmountable challenges and introduces socialism to the underground worlds!
• Technicolor side-scrolling adventures like Flash Gordon, Sinbad, and The Land that Time Forgot served as inspiration for Little Orpheus. Little Orpheus’ platforming and light puzzle-solving are easy enough for beginners but complex enough for seasoned adventure fans.
• A beautiful, vibrant world that has been remastered for the PC with high-resolution textures, new actions and animations, improved graphics and lighting effects, and more.

Reviews

In short, Little Orpheus is filled with myths, legends and beautiful artwork. There are nods to history and some throwback nostalgia to old time TV when things were simpler. References and nods to other Sci-Fi classics like Journey to the Center of the Earth are obvious. If you know what a matryoshka is, you’ll understand the layering in the story telling. A matryoshka is a Russian nesting doll, every time you open one, there is another layer or surprise inside. This is the same way the story in Little Orpheus unfolds, and is indeed, its strong point. The voice actors do all the heavy lifting in my opinion, and I would happily sit and listen to those two characters banter for hours, spinning a yarn by a campfire.

I thoroughly enjoyed Little Orpheus’ premise and imaginative game world so it’s unfortunate that its gameplay is as basic and unchallenging as it is. Plus, having collectibles spawn only after you complete stages makes for some super-tedious replay value.
