Scarab is an action strategy game, with the major emphasis being on
strategy elements. Scarab was designed to be played primarily with a joystick,
and it is strongly recommended. The Scarab combat environment revolves around
the dual struggle for territorial control or death to your opponents. You
represent the Gods of the Underworld, disembodied spirits which bring to life
the different combat robots. While your spirit has vast powers the mechanical
bodies you inhabit are designed solely for raw combat.

When you play the game you get 3 incarnations. At each incarnation you have
your choice of which robot you wish to control, Anubis, Horus, or Sekhmet.
After your third life is lost your spirit is released to haunt the world that
you can only vaguely perceive. There are 2 ways to win the game; control the
battlefield through power producing towers, or to kill all of the opposing
robots 3 times each.

For the v1.1 patch (Mplayer release) a new game option is now available called
“deathmatch.” In deathmatch mode you cannot win the game by power – instead
the winner is determined by the last robot left alive.
