 Thorgal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thorgal is a Belgian comic book series by the Belgian author Jean Van Hamme and the Polish artist Grzegorz Rosinski.
The main character is Thorgal Aegirsson, who is found as a baby in some sort of stasis capsule by the Viking chieftain Leif Haraldson after his ship is torn to pieces by the elements of the Atlantic Ocean.
What the world does not know, save for a few, is that Thorgal is the soon-to-be last survivor of a highly intelligent group of space-farers, that are capable of psionics — changing the molecular composition of materials — powers that Thorgal himself does not have.

 DailyGame Review: Curse of Atlantis: Thorgal's Quest [PC]
As contradictory as it sounds, Thorgal has rationalized that it's not really him that kills his son, but his doppelganger.
Thorgal's Quest is an adventure "on rails." While visually it's three-dimensional, the game itself is pretty much one-dimensional: you either follow the path or are forced to follow it.
Controlling Thorgal is done using the classic point-and-click method adventure gamers have become accustomed to, despite the game’s use of a 3D environment.

 PC VIDEO GAME REVIEWS... Curse of Atlantis: Thorgal's Quest __________|
Curse of Atlantis: Thorgal's Quest, a point-and-click adventure, is an adaptation of the comic book series called Thorgal that follows a Viking by the name of Thorgal Aegirsson and his voyages across the ancient world.
Thorgal, and the characters you encounter while traveling, are pretty much the only things moving in the scenes.
You talk with Noral, and the two of you come to the conclusion that someone, one of Thorgal's many enemies from his past, must be appearing as the Viking to gain the boy's trust.

It didn't really have much at all to do with Atlantis (although I have no doubt Thorgal was voiced by the same person that visited Atlantis in all those other games); but there was certainly a quest.
Some roaming round the net on my part elicited the information that Thorgal Aegirsson is a character from a popular European comic book series, and a nice in game touch is that a comic book journal keeps track of the unfolding events.
Curse of Atlantis: Thorgal's Quest took about 10 hours and was not unenjoyable, but nor did it reach any great heights.

 Thorgal: The Curse of Odin review
It is obvious to Thorgal, and to us, that time is of the essence, and we must hurry home to Thorgal’s family.
However, the storm prevents us from leaving by sea on that part of the island, and the chieftain refuses to lower the drawbridge so that we might leave the town and into the forest that will take us to the other side of the island, where the storm may not be so fierce.
Another glitch I encountered was in running from a character- if I ran Thorgal to the wall, he would go into the wall and disappear (I really don’t blame him for hiding, but it does nothing to further the game).

 Adventure Gamers : Curse of Atlantis
To make matters worse, Thorgal's Quest has been falsely labeled as an action/adventure, while it is in fact a pure point-and-click adventure in every sense of the word.
Thorgal follows the recent trend of 'lite' games aimed at a mainstream audience.
One truly unique feature of Thorgal are the way the pre-rendered backgrounds have been treated with different filters and pencil strokes during post-production.

En fait, Thorgal brille par sa quasi absence tout au long du récit et le plus surprenant est qu’il ne nous manque pas tellement.
Pour la première fois depuis longtemps, les auteurs osent nous présenter des plans parfois étonnamment complexes, comme ce double naufrage simultané de Thorgal et nos héroïnes, ou encore les combats intérieurs de Kriss lorsqu’il est question de son enfant qu’elle doit protéger tout en affichant une image de guerrière indépendante sans lendemain.
D’ailleurs, aucune allusion n’est faite dans le récit aux origines extra-terrestres/atlantes/canines (blague) de Thorgal, un peu comme si les auteurs avaient réalisé à quel point leur personnage dérapait à force de le transformer en Highlander.

 Thorgal Lyrics and Meanings
Yes Thorgal, it is to the liking of the Goddess-Frigg to tear off for a time your carnal connection with the middle earth to invite you into the residence of the gods.
See, as it is gentle not to feel much the heat of the sun and the breath of the wind, suspended as a toy with the invisible wire that the gods have done you the honor to draw unto them.
Impregnate yourself with the peace of Asgard, Thorgal, drink forever of this peace, because the will of the relentless gods will return you on the middle ground, where all that you already surmounted is nothing with the sight of what awaits you.

Though the back story surrounding Curse of Atlantis: Thorgal's Quest was interesting to a point, it didn't make up for the game's less than stellar gameplay or its low budget graphics.
While trying to make his way back home, our protagonist is shown a horrific vision of a possible future where his son is slain in cold blood in front of his family.
In order to return to his family and hopefully prevent the tragedy, Thorgal must battle mythical creatures, outwit devious bandits, and piece together a mystery that will bring the pieces of the warriors' past, present, and future together in a way that no one could imagine.
