6 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story is generally considered generic but enjoyable, featuring mythological references and a unique presentation through hieroglyphic-inspired visuals and wordless animated sequences. It unfolds gradually across the game's levels with beautiful cinematics that depict key events in the pharaoh's life leading to his death. Overall, the narrative adds an artistic and thematic layer without being deeply complex.
“The mythological references were fun, though this isn't any version of Ra's story that I recall, but there are references to things I recognize, and I liked the art a lot.”
“Amongst all the references, I think my favorite thing was how lines at the bottom and top of a section are meant to indicate a continuous story in hieroglyphics (mainly the sky and the land), hence part of why the pharaoh only moves left or right.”
“As we play, we also get to watch beautiful cinematics showing us pharaoh life story events that led to his death.”
“Although the game has 66 levels, there are only 60 or 61 puzzles as the other levels are taken up with story animations and an initial prologue in writing.”
“There is an animated story (without words) that unfolds throughout the game.”
“Amongst all the references, my favorite aspect was how lines at the bottom and top of a section indicate a continuous story in hieroglyphics, mainly representing the sky and the land; this explains why the pharaoh only moves left or right.”
