How it feels

A fast-paced, retro-styled boomer shooter with colorful pixel graphics, where you charge through ancient Egyptian environments blasting enemies with a khopesh and magical plagues.

What players say

Players split on Skarab. Some call it fun, but others find it a letdown after the developer's earlier works, citing fullscreen problems and awkward melee that makes small enemies like spiders difficult to hit.
