About ArchaeologyX
Archaeology X is an open world Archaeology exploration game where you dig for treasures, relics. Use your notebook and research to discover ancient items hidden for 1000's of years, also explore long lost caves or tombs. Finding relics / treasures will be challenging, just like with real life archaeology, carefully study and decipher location clues from the research in your notebook to estimate dig sites.
Key Features:
Enter an living open world (over or underground), exploring. Looking for and digging out the remnants of ancient civilisations, in relaxing environment.
With patience and perseverance will bring success, just like real Archaeology exploration.
Be brave, go out at night or get some sleep in your tent.
Meet other local people in game, chat to them for clues, locate a radio station to send messages via radio/telegraph to your home about new discoveries made. Be careful with digging, you might break the fragile relics. As you dig if you discover something of interest you can zoom in and dig close up and carefully not to risk breaking the relic. If walking is too far then use other forms of transport available to go to other areas faster, such as cars, horses or camels.

Игра ArchaeologyX — это увлекательное сочетание головоломок и археологического исследования. Погрузитесь в мир древних цивилизаций, раскрывая тайны захоронений, собирая артефакты и решая интеллектуальные задачи. Графика качественная, а атмосфера погружает в эпоху открытий. Увлекательный геймплей с элементами стратегии и логики. Однако, некоторые уровни могут показаться сложными для новичков. Рекомендую тем, кто любит интеллектуальные игры и исторические тематики.
the controls, the non existing UI, the way you dig, the driving the overall feel is just all very bad. and why would you need to eat drink in such kind of games... i love archaeology but this isn't it. Dinosaur Fossil hunter eradicates this one.
"ArchaeologyX" is a promising looking open world adventure/puzzle game with an archaeology theme, but unfortunately it dies hard due to really sloppy optimisation and performance issues that render it almost completely unplayable. In this case, that's a bit of a shame. The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 …
Only played for 20 minutes but had to stop, the sand digging was too blocky, movement isn't smooth in general and the camera kept jumping around for no reason.
