Reception
[edit | edit source]Giving the game 80/100, Tap-Repeatedly/Four Fat Chicks complimented the game's sly sense of humor.[4] AdventureGamers rated the game 70/100, saying "This is the worst game that I've totally enjoyed."[5][6] GameSpot gave it 6.3/10, writing that Ark of Time was neither revolutionary or groundbreaking.[7] Quandary gave the game 60/100, writing that the game was part of a rush of titles centering around the fabled lost city of Atlantis that were released at the time. Additionally, Quandary felt that it was surprising.[8][9] Gameboomers wrote that the game was 'pretty okay'.[10] Just Adventure felt the title was loony and offbeat.[11] Meristation felt that while the game was competent and didn't have any serious flaws, it lacked anything that pushed the genre.[12]
