Skarab

I've played other DOSman games including Night Jackal, REVEREND, SATAN, and I enjoyed them, but this one was a letdown. It falls short of the previous games in 2 main ways: tech and game design. I couldn’t get the game to run in full screen. I tried the game option, Alt+Enter, F11 but none worked. I had to play in a half-sized window. Then the melee combat felt awkward, I stabbed at enemies and still missed targets, especially smaller ones like spiders and snakes. Even human sized enemies can be difficult to aim at times. The exploration stopped being fun pretty quickly because of the hidden keys and the constant backtracking through maze just to unlock gates. And by the end of the first area if you hadn’t fully explored the map, you would have missed the sling so no way to deal with ranged enemies. Those don’t work well in a boomer shooter/FPS. I’d still buy more games from DOSman, but this one is below their usual standard.

this was really fun and i had a good time, its very simplistic and only took 2 hrs to finish but i promise youll enjoy yerself, the levels are good, the weapons are fun and all usefull, and the enemies are challenging, oh and the music was good too

Fun game

At this point it's just how many themes can dosman make of the same game.

Another DOSman Games EFPSE game. Basically self-explanatory Skarab is a Egyptian themed Retro FPS developed and published by DOSman Games. Running in the EFPSE engine, It follow a warrior tasked with saving the princess, who has been kidnapped by that pesky Anubis and his cult. If it wasn't quite obvious with the tone, if you've played previous DOSman titles like Flash of the Blade X and REAPER. You know exactly how it's going to go here, just with a new coat of paint and some innovations in level design, though not by much. Which again, not a bad thing just more of the same. Gameplay of Skarab, is no surprise, another Retro FPS formula basis. Level by level, with lots of enemies, keys for progression, and secrets to find. As with the previous DOSman Games with this format, you have a big focus on various melee weapons with ranged weapons on the side. Of which, the former is pretty basic, with each new melee weapon being stronger, faster, or both. While the latter actually has some diversity with the very first ranged weapon being a sling with a very long delay but powerful payoff. But it does get overshadowed by a pretty basic bow & arrow and.... locusts. Yes you can shoot locu…
