As a spy during World War I, Indiana Jones is sent around the world to stop German agents from acquiring technology that will strengthen the German war machine.[7]
Playing as Jones, the player travels to India, Egypt, Tibet, and London, with Germany as the final level.[7][8] The player is equipped with three weapons: a pistol, a whip, and grenades. Weapons can be used by the player to solve action-oriented puzzles throughout the game. Numerous enemies are encountered throughout the game, including guards, construction workers, monks, priests, and various animals.[8][1] Several items can be used by the player, including crosses, which refill the player's health meter; poison tips, which increase the whip's lethality; and hats, which grant temporary invincibility.[8]
Josse Bilson, writing for Mega, opined that the game was too difficult, in part because of an abundance of enemies, but considered the character sprites adequate.[2] Super Game Power complained of slow character movements.[9] The collision detection was also criticized,[2][10] as were the graphics.[10][13] Video Games was critical of the sound,[10] and Nick Roberts of Sega Pro disliked the level designs.[13]
Brett Alan Weiss, writing in a later review for AllGame, found the game's "sluggish and unresponsive" controls to be its worst trait, but considered the game's best qualities to be the graphics and sound.[1]
