Pharaonic promises to send us to Ancient Egypt as we test our skills in a rather unforgiving side scrolling RPG.
Available as an Xbox One digital download, Pharaonic fast paced scrolling action, a thoroughly detailed world with plenty of chances to explore, complete character customisation and, rather worryingly, a combat system that comes straight out of Dark Souls. Let’s just hope it isn’t quite as hard as that!
