This week's update is a big one, the main addition being new attack animations for dagger/thrust weapons and really heavy weapons (hammers, etc).
Moreover, we have finished doing the trading cards for the game and we've just enabled them. Not sure if your past playtime counts towards getting them, but anyway it's a good reason to give the game a try again :)
There're also lots of minor improvements and bugfixes, specially on the graphics postprocessing side, with improved ambient occlusion and bloom effects.
We hope to have most remaining lore by next week, as well as the final boss (which it's already finished, but we're waiting until we have the game ending cutscenes ready so you don't miss them!)
New features:
- New attack animations for thrust weapons (dagger, straight swords) and heavy weapons (hammers, big axes).
- Added Steam trading cards
- New achievements for the late part of the game (not all of them can be unlocked yet)
- Changed Ambient Occlusion effect (now it's stronger, giving the game a darker vibe).
- Improved Bloom effect, specially on High and Very High settings.
- Done some performance improvements, reducing CPU usage by up to 10%.
- Now it's slightly easier to perform parries. Also you can start your attack faster after performing a parry.
- Adjusted attack combos for some weapons so they are a bit faster and less sluggish.
- Done many weapon numbers adjustments to match the new animations.
- The list of teleport locations has been inverted (so later locations are shown on top).
- Fixed framerate drops when activating a Heka Stele
- Fixed area attacks being blockable / dodgeable when not intended.
- Fixed some voice issues.
- Fixed some arrow attacks causing damage when the shield is up.
- Fixed some text issues on the Character creation section.
- Fixed minor translation issues.

In Ancient Egypt, death awaits at every corner
Pharaonic is an unforgiving sidescrolling Action-RPG set in Ancient Egypt. Explore a vast kingdom full of dangers and brutal enemies while you find the truth behind Ahmosis I, the Red Pharaoh.
Only the most audacious warriors will have any chance of success. The Pharaoh's army and countless dangerous creatures will stand in your way.
Original and streamlined combat system
Polish your combat skills to the finest and loot the best gear possible to even have the slightest chance of overcoming this difficult endeavor. Will you opt for lightweight equipment, trusting on your agility to avoid death? Or will you prefer to take the blow and strike back even harder? The decision is entirely yours to make.
Get ready to challenge the gods
Throughout your path you will find help from the Daughters of Ishtar, as well as the oppresed countrymen. Learn new skills and subdue divine powers to overcome your opponents. Drink from your life-water canteen to heal your wounds, and acquire new equipment that will help you avoid death one more day.
It's a tough journey, but the Gods believe in you. Will you be worthy of that honor?
Pharaonic takes the excellent combat design of Dark Souls and adapts it to a faster paced side-scrolling environment. Use your shield to block and parry incoming attacks, manage your stamina and wait for your chance to attack and defeat your enemies. A single mistake can be fatal, so stay on your toes to avoid making any.
