comment
Warriors of the Nile is a roguelite game by Stove Studio, released in August 2020. It's set in a version of Ancient Egypt with fantasy elements- most notably the evil serpent Apophis, who has stolen the sun. A band of three heroes- the tough Sun Warrior, the swift Dune Hunter, and the powerful Mystic- set out to defeat his minions and liberate the kingdom.In August 2022, a much-expanded sequel with different characters was released.Note: Potential powerups change or do away with a lot of gameplay mechanics, so all tropes pertaining to those must be taken with a grain of salt.

Glass Cannon: Mystic deals the most damage of anyone, but if her armor "soak" is depleted, her death will not be far behind. What's worse is that she can't move and attack on the same turn, forcing her more agile teammates to protect her while she gets into position. Hunter may upgrade to this; any soak he has must come from items or powerups, but in exchange he gets things like extra attacks and weapons that let him shoot across half the map.

Flunky Boss: All bosses can summon minions, sometimes six or more. However, this ability either has finite uses or generates successively weaker minions each time. The usual Decapitated Army rule applies.

Puzzle Boss
 Warriors Of The Nile (Video Game) / int_84f4a870
comment
Puzzle Boss: The final bosses are impossible to defeat unless you exploit game mechanics. As few as possible of Neptune's mooks must be hurt. He can summon an infinite number of them, and on dying they're replaced with Waveborn Statues that can heal Neptune's health, so the best plan is to just take the mooks' attacks (which aren't strong enough to do much damage to properly trained characters) and focus your team's fire on Neptune. Pluto summons a lot of very weak mooks and a few incredibly strong ones that can One-Hit Kill your characters. The idea is to use the former to block the latter from reaching your team. Pluto himself cannot be pursued (his zombies' attacks will soon immobilize the characters), but he will periodically teleport next to a hero to attack them, at which point he can be attacked in return. Rinse and repeat until victory.

Healing tablets are character-specific, only appear sometimes note unless a particular stele is both generated and bought, and the amount of health points they provide is completely random. Your Hunter, say, can be at death's door, and the Random Number God will offer your barely-scratched Warrior a full health restore.

No-Sell: Tougher characters have "armor soak" which attackers must deplete to get at their actual health bar. Soak is fully replenished on every turn the character has, and several abilities affect it.

This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman
 Warriors Of The Nile (Video Game) / int_cce399
comment
This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: Most of Hunter's powerups do not make him stronger, but provide obtuse criteria that gives him bonuses as long as he meets that criteria. For example, he might get increased attack power whenever he's next to cover, or all attacks he makes that deal a certain amount of damage will be amplified to deal even more damage. A mid-to-lategame Hunter has the potential to One-Hit Kill enemies, but he will only ever be as good as the mind of his player.

Religion is Magic: Mystic's title and feline motif strongly imply that she's a priestess of Bastet, who...gives her the power to explode enemies? (Bastet is a war goddess in her oldest depictions.) Most NPCs with ranged magic also have titles like "Acolyte".

Fighter, Mage, Thief: The protagonists slot neatly into these archetypes. There's no stealing mechanic, so the "Thief"/Hunter is objectively less useful than his comrades, but the game is hard enough that the mediocre amount of damage he deals is still useful.
