Description :
Curse of the Pharaohs is the debut release from Just Mobile Games and stars Harold Huxley, an intrepid English archaeologist, who is pitted against the mysterious Cult of Anubis. Harold puts his faith in his revolver, machete, dynamite and hammer as he runs, jumps, crawls and grabs his way through each level.
The game captures the gore made popular in the 90s 3D games and reproduces it in a retro style. Flying body parts, death screams, splats and blood are included, but so is a liberal dose of dark humour.
Curse of the Pharaohs borrows ideas from RPG games including an easy to manage inventory and pre-expedition visits to a bazaar to stock up on supplies. Exploration is another important aspect of the game. Each of the 30 levels in the game are large, far bigger than the actual screen of the Pocket PC.
