Luxor Amun Rising

Does not start on Windows 11.

Luxor: Amun Rising is definitely more of the same entertainment you will get from the first game or others in the series if you have played them in a different order. There are new levels, music tracks, and that's really about it. It isn't bad, but not as great as Luxor 3 or Evolve. No issues or bugs during my play through. I would recommend getting the Luxor Bundle as the games are a bit pricey alone, especially considering the age and how well some of the Luxor games have stood the test of time.

A standalone expansion pack to the original Luxor. I have many of the same issues with this one as well, but there are some improvements.

Just like the original game, Luxor: Amun Rising is priced at $9.99 and doesn't work outside of the box, requiring a different .exe file to be downloaded from a 3rd party and placed into the game's folder. The sketchy ball accuracy has returned as well, likely because both games run on the same engine. The standard shooting speed is still a little too slow, however this is not as much of a problem anymore as I will explain in a moment.

Now for the improvements:
1) Difficulty selection has been added, with three difficulties to choose from. While not as preferable as a simple practice mode, this addition does allow for players to practice harder levels at a lower difficulty so they don't waste all of their lives on one stage when trying to complete the game on a harder difficulty. This fact alone diminishes the annoyance of the slow shooting speed, since practicing on Easy difficulty will quickly improve a player's ability to make shots when they matter most on harder difficulties.
2) The addition of a new power-up, the Scorpion, has huge implications for the flow of the game. The Scorpion is essentially a "get out of jail free" card if you are about to lose in a stage. It gives a few seconds of breathing room as you refocus. Easily the best addition to the game.

Aside from this, the rest of the game is about as good as the original Luxor. Solid and consistent Ancient Egyptian theme, with sounds and music that compliment the design. The gameplay is still simple and addicting overall. Players can also use this game to practice for the original Luxor as well, since the games are extremely similar in mechanics.

However, I still have a hard time recommending Amun Rising over newer entries in the series. Starting in Luxor 2, we see huge changes in gameplay flow and many improvements to the overall feel of the games. I would recommend waiting for a big sale or just skipping ahead to Luxor 2.

it needs more furries

It is a good game.

Absolutely reccommended! However, do note that if you are looking to play the original luxor games VIA the luxor collection (best price) you will need to do a bit of research on each games steam forums for the said fixes for the games, but its very easy.
Luxor 1 u just gotta download and install a simple patch (found on games forums)
Luxor: Amun Rising: just gotta download and install a simple patch (found on games forums)
Luxor 2: just gotta download and install a simple patch (found on games forums)
Luxor 3: Run it in windows 98 compatibility mode
Luxor Quest for afterlife: (should work out of the box)
Luxor: 5th passage: Run in windows 98 compatibility mode.
Luxor: Evolved: (should work right out of the box)

Relaxing. Takes my mind off of things.

I love this game, but sadly it will not run because it doesn't work on windows 10 (also 8).

Luxor Amun Rising is the Chain of Memories of Luxor

More of the same enjoyable gameplay as the first Luxor game, except there's now a Scorpion powerup.

Why do I have this game in my inventory?
Rate up because I have 4 hrs in it so it must be ok

Luxor Amun Rising is the follow up to the original Luxor.

Not much has changed since the last one; you still shoot balls and try to match 3 (+) to score points and stop the caterpillar from reaching your base.

I would rather go with one of the new(er) versions, also the price is pretty steep for a game like this.
Still I recommend the game because it's fun and addicting.

Good little casual match 3 game. 89:100

Luxor Amun Rising is an Egyptian style Zuma game by Mumbo Jumbo that is unfortunately disappointing on a couple of levels. The most obvious is that fullscreen is not supported and you are limited to a very small 800x600 window on the screen. While there is a fullscreen option, it does not stretch the image and simply blackboxes the main content. Secondly, the Steam Overlay is not supported so you cannot screenshot your high scores. While the game is challenging and the levels are well varied with a long campaign, the flaws are significant enough to make Luxor Amun Rising among the weaker entries in this genre. I would recommend that most puzzle gamers and definitely the mainstream audience give this game a pass.
