Okay, so The Scorpion King: Sword of Osiris is one of those GBA games that’s way better than it has any right to be. Yeah, it’s a movie tie-in, but WayForward actually put some effort into this one—it’s got that classic side-scrolling hack-and-slash vibe with a surprising amount of polish.

You play as the Scorpion King (obviously), slashing through waves of enemies with your sword, tossing daggers, and even pulling off some slick wall jumps. The levels are packed with traps, hidden areas, and these little puzzle bits that keep things from feeling too mindless. And the boss fights? Actually pretty solid—some of them took me a few tries to figure out.

It’s not super long, but for a GBA action game, it’s got enough going on to make it worth a playthrough. If you’re into old-school action-adventures, this one’s a hidden gem.
