"The Golden Compass" is an action-adventure game developed by Shiny Entertainment and published by Sega. It was released for various platforms, including the Nintendo DS, in 2007. The game is based on the film adaptation of Philip Pullman's novel "Northern Lights," also known as "The Golden Compass" in some regions.
In "The Golden Compass" for the Nintendo DS, players assume the role of Lyra Belacqua, the protagonist of the story, as she embarks on a journey through the fantastical world depicted in the novel and film. The game follows the events of the story closely, with players interacting with characters and locations from the book and movie.
Gameplay in "The Golden Compass" on the Nintendo DS combines exploration, puzzle-solving, and action elements. Players navigate various environments, solve environmental puzzles, and engage in combat encounters with enemies such as the Gobblers and their mechanical creatures.
One of the unique features of the game is Lyra's ability to use her alethiometer, a mystical compass-like device, to uncover hidden clues and solve puzzles. Players must decipher symbols and manipulate the touchscreen to unlock secrets and progress through the game.
"The Golden Compass" also features minigames and challenges that test players' reflexes and skills, such as riding on the back of Lyra's daemon, Pan, or participating in aerial battles against enemy airships.
While "The Golden Compass" received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for its faithful adaptation of the source material and criticism for its repetitive gameplay and lack of innovation, it remains a notable title for fans of the novel and film. The Nintendo DS version offers a portable and accessible way for players to experience the adventure of "The Golden Compass" on the go.
