If one goes by the claims of the game, then the force exerted by a couple of thousand atomic bombs is so enormous that it might shake the very pedestal of things. The blast that happens at a very high magnitude serves the very basis of the game from DSLite, Secret Files: Tunguska.

The game has been designed by FusionSphere Systems and has been given a very subtle theme. The character that the gamer portrays is of a young woman called Nina Kalenkov who endures the pain of her father getting kidnapped by unknown elements and her search to bring him back. A guy called Max Gruber, who has also been a co-worker of Kalenkov’s father, will join you in Secret Files Tunguska DS. The voyage of tracing her father takes Nina to Berlin, the place from where the game begins. The locales that the two of them see are amazing as they range from asylums in Cuba to pubs in Ireland and finally the Himalayas.

The interface of the game is pretty endearing and the puzzles are equally confusing. There is another interface through which all those potentially inspection worthy spots become visible. The gaming characters also end up amassing a lot of items while navigating through the static screens of the area. If you have the Nintendo DS, then you ought to get the Secret Files Tunguska for this would be your best buy for the gaming software.
