About Atlantis : The Lost Empire

Atlantis: The Lost Empire is a side-view action game incorporating platforming. The objective involves a quest to locate the sunken city, prevent its destruction, and free Princess Kida.

Gameplay is structured across ten distinct levels. Progression requires managing a team of five characters, including the film's protagonist Milo Thatch. Each crew member possesses unique specialties, such as demolition or mechanical repair, and rated proficiencies in actions like jumping, weapon use, and breath control.

A core mechanic is the ability to switch the active character at specific points within a level, which is frequent and necessary. Many environmental obstacles are designed to be passable only by a character with the corresponding skill set, making strategic swapping essential for advancement.
