Skarab, is a wonderful culmination of everything we've seen so far from the studio with top of the line sound design, great art, an amazing setting, fun weapons, and some of their best level designs yet.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
12 of 59 sampled reviews raised it
Along with the level changes that encourage loadout variety, the devs have finally effectively balanced(afaik now) the melee weapons and their respective speeds.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 59 sampled reviews raised it
If you are looking for an good time for a few hours with an beautiful egyptian artstyle underlined with an fantastic soundtrack, then you will definitely not regret buying this little project.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
5 of 59 sampled reviews raised it
The ancient Egyptian-inspired setting creates a strong sense of place, and breezing through the areas in classic retro FPS fashion is genuinely enjoyable.
Graphics

4 of 59 sampled reviews raised it
The pixel-inspired graphics, bold color palettes, and chunky character designs embrace a retro-modern hybrid style that suits the game’s tone perfectly.
