Standing boldly between you and bragging rights are a dastardly array of enemies that range from lava-belching toads to floating skulls, which look a little bit like angrier versions of rock band Avenged Sevenfold’s logo. Once you’ve had a gander and chosen your favoured class, you’ll venture onward to discover your foes. There are nine classes, to be exact, each befitting a different play style and boasting abilities directly inspired by Egyptian mythology. You’ll get to keep any gold coins you find, used to purchase items from in-game merchants, as well as experience to invest in the skill tree for whichever class you’ve chosen. What makes this a little less wounding is the game’s rogue-lite elements, which see you retain some form of progression with each death.

Yep, it’s possible to ascend level upon level of a pyramid, clearing random tomb after random tomb, just to ultimately get blown to bits by an unseen projectile and go hurtling all the way back to the bottom. Why, you ask? “Permadeath!” laughs Immortal Redneck. Focusing on a series of procedurally generated tombs within several large pyramids, the goal of each trip is to reach the Apex - the mystical centre which presumably holds as much gravity and metaphysical majesty as the Maze from Westworld. A quick personal admission: I often find arcade dungeon crawling quite laborious, and originally took Immortal Redneck on because of its creative swearing (you’ll always have me at creative swearing), but its surprisingly accessible gameplay structure kept me engaged this time around. He’s not sure what’s going on (that makes two of us), but has a feeling the answer lies within the three pyramids of Giza.

The game begins when a sarcastic redneck wakes up to discover he’s lost, not to mention pretty darn mummified, in ancient Egypt following an accident.
