Anubis II is a game where an evil spirit named Mumm'hotep brings eternal darkness to Egypt and a deadly curse spreads across the land. The Gods send Anubis, the warrior of the sand, to save Egypt. He's armed with the scepter of Ra and the Kanopic bombs of fury. As Anubis, he must face legions of evil enemies across nine levels.
The player controls Anubis from a third-person perspective as they navigate through levels filled with platform puzzles and enemies that can be defeated by swinging his staff or shooting energy balls at them. In each level, Anubis needs to find eight pyramids to unlock the portal and end the stage.
