You play a covert operations specialist sent to Karnak, an ancient Egyptian city cut off by alien forces. Fight your way through undead and other hostile creatures as you investigate the crisis.
Explore more than 20 levels in first person, battling enemies with weapons that range from a machete and machine gun to grenades, a flamethrower, and magical arms. Navigate between floors, cross bridges, swim through underwater areas, and tackle hazards and hidden passages.
Collect powers that let you reach places previously out of reach, then return to earlier levels to uncover new routes and items. Manage weapon energy from shared pickups, which replenish the weapon you have equipped.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its blend of first-person shooting and ability-based exploration, especially the satisfaction of returning to earlier levels with new powers. The Egyptian setting, soundtrack, weapons, and retro style also recur as highlights. Some players find its backtracking and navigation frustrating, and reviews also criticize tough late-game encounters, hit detection, and resource scarcity.
