''Warriors of the Nile'' is a [[{{Roguelike}} roguelite]] game by Stove Studio, released in August 2020. It's set in a version of Ancient Egypt with fantasy elements- most notably the evil serpent Apophis, who has stolen the sun. A band of three heroes- the tough Sun Warrior, the swift Dune Hunter, and the powerful Mystic- set out to defeat his minions and liberate the kingdom.

!!This series includes the following tropes:
* CatGirl: Mystic has brown cat ears, which may have something to do with [[CatsAreMagic her being the only team member who can use magic]].
* FighterMageThief: The protagonists slot neatly into these archetypes. There's no stealing mechanic, so the "Thief"/Hunter is objectively less useful than his comrades, but the game is hard enough that the mediocre amount of damage he deals is still useful.
* GlassCannon: Mystic deals the most damage of anyone, but if her armor "soak" is depleted, her death will not be far behind. What's worse is that she can't move ''and'' attack on the same turn, forcing her more agile teammates to protect her while she gets into position.
