Dingo Games has released a trailer for their swashbuckling adventure, The Three Musketeers: The Game. The game is said to closely follow the plot of the original Three Musketeers novel and features hand drawn 2D graphics, sword fighting, numerous sidequests, and mini-games.

Players take on the role of the young gentleman d'Artagnan as he sets off for Paris in hopes of becoming a Musketeer. Soon after arriving, d'Artagnan finds himself in duels with each of the famous three Musketeers: Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. By fighting alongside them, he is able to prove that he has the heart of a Musketeer and is accepted by them as a friend. When the evil Cardinal Richelieu launches a plot to disgrace the queen, only d'Artagnan and his three friends can defend her honor.

Created by independent developer Dingo Games, the game features an old school top-down perspective with hand drawn 2d graphics. Players gather loot, duel enemies, fire flintlocks, and play mini-games as they make their way through the main story. In addition, numerous side-quests exist for players who want to explore the entire game.

It took 165 years, but this classic tale has finally been faithfully adapted into a video game.
