Anubis II

About

Anubis II is a third-person platformer where you play as a warrior armed with a magic scepter and explosive bombs. You’ll swing through levels filled with enemies and puzzles, using your weapons to fight or blast foes while navigating Egyptian-themed stages. Each level tasks you with collecting eight pyramids to unlock the exit, mixing combat with light exploration. The game’s controls and mechanics lean into straightforward action, though the title is a bit of a red herring, this isn’t a direct follow-up to any previous game. What sticks out is the blend of combat and environmental goals. While the core loop of fighting and platforming is solid, the need to hunt for pyramids in each stage adds a secondary layer. It released in 2005 across PC, PS2, and Wii, but remains a lesser-known entry in the platform genre. The game’s Egyptian setting and dual focus on weapons and puzzles make it memorable for fans of classic action-adventures, even if it didn’t stick around in pop culture.
