About the Game

Make the Nile Run Red

  • An Armoury for the Ages. Rend your enemies with sharpened khopesh or swarm them with deadly locust plagues using your ancient and arcane arsenal. 

  • Egypt is your playground. Crawl across village rooftops and scour gargantuan pyramids in an adventure spanning the length of the Nile.

  • Tomb Rager. Plunder mysterious temples and tombs, navigating through traps and tunnels, and beating back the cult of Anubis.

  • Beasts, barbarians and belligerent Gods. Go up against enemies from both sides of the Duat!  

  • DOSMan! Find the titular time-and-space traveling mascot in every level, hoarding goodies for you to gorge on.

The latest and most ambitious release from bite-sized boomer shooter studio, DOSMan Games, Skarab combines frenetic combat with exploration and platforming to deliver an adventure inspired by the likes of Powerslave, Tomb Raider and Quake.
