What is Pharaonic?

Pharaonic is a single-player action RPG about uncovering the truth behind the Red Pharaoh. You follow branching, side-scrolling paths through ancient Egypt, collect equipment, and fight soldiers, creatures, and bosses using blocks, parries, dodges, and spells while managing stamina.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy learning enemy patterns before committing to attacks
  • +you like choosing between agile and heavily armored builds

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer attacking freely without watching a stamina bar
  • −you want forgiving fights rather than repeated attempts
