In this arena-based souls-like fighting game, players must overcome gods and creatures from various mythologies. The Egyptian roster consists of Anhur, Ammit, Anubis, Neith, and Ra. Ammit is the character who looks most like her counterpart in Egyptian art. Ra is in his falcon-headed form; he wears an Egyptian-inspired skirt and breastplate and wields a sceptre (perhaps a wȝs-sceptre). Ahnur, sometimes a lion-headed deity, is here an anthropomorphic lion with white skin, animal paws, a mane, and fur on his forearms. Anubis once again receives his mass-media monstrous depiction, so he is wearing a dark skirt and breastplate, as well as dark bandages around his limbs. Furthermore, Neith is light-skinned and the most scantily dressed of the pantheon, much like her Smite counterpart, and wields a bow. The settings in which these deities fight also evoke the idea of Egypt through well-known tropes: Ahnur and Ra dwell in stone buildings overlooking desert dunes, Ammit and Anubis in otherworldly dark lands, and Neith in a temple with nonsense hieroglyphic texts on the wall and, naturally, traps.
