About The Shadow Beneath

Rescue Akhenaten, the banished pharaoh, from an eternity beneath the sands. Wield the gifts of Aten's last disciples, unleash sacred techniques and battle the relentless guardians of the forgotten tombs in a fast-paced Action Roguelike.

Survive the scorching desert and descend into the cursed pyramids of Ancient Egypt. Battle undead mummies, venomous scorpions and the forgotten servants of the gods.

Channel the wisdom of Aten's last disciples, master sacred techniques and forge your own fighting style.

Every chamber is a deadly trial, every guardian a formidable foe. Survive deadly traps, shatter your enemies and defy the will of the gods - or perish trying!
