Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is an activity-hazard video game inspired by the mythology of Ancient Arab republic of egypt for GameCube, PlayStation two and Xbox. The game was developed by Eurocom and published past THQ. Nordic Games acquired THQ in 2014 and formed THQ Nordic, as a effect, a remastered version of the game was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, macOS and Linux on November ten, 2017.[one] [2] A concrete Nintendo Switch version with several enhancements was released on Jan 29, 2019.[3]

In Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, the player falls into the role of a demigod, Sphinx, and the undead corpse of Tutankhamen. Sphinx's part is one of a brave warrior who battles fearsome monsters and relies on raw power to complete tasks. Tutenkhanmen, also known as the Mummy, revolves around puzzle-solving and logical thinking to outwit his foes.

Plot [edit]

The fictional version of Egypt in which the game is set is in a period of turmoil when the player is introduced to Sphinx, one of the main protagonists. He and his fellow apprentice Horus are given the task of retrieving the legendary Blade of Osiris past their master, Imhotep. They are taken to Uruk, "the land of darkness", where they eventually find the Bract. Horus is attacked and supposedly killed by a deadly ray that protects the Castle of Uruk. Sphinx retrieves the Blade, but while trying to escape is also attacked by the ray and forced to travel to an unknown location through the utilize of a portal system.[4]

Meanwhile, the young Prince Tutenkhamen of Luxor celebrates his birthday, but his older blood brother, Akhenaten, captures him and performs a ritual that turns him into a mummy. Sphinx arrives and interrupts the ritual, causing Tutenkhamen, Akhenaten and his henchman Menes to be teleported to the Castle of Uruk. Sphinx learns that fragments of Tutenkhamen's soul are stored in Canopic Vases, and takes on the task of recollecting them to restore him to his former self. In the Castle, Akhenaten gloats that the recent events were zip only a pocket-sized setback. The player and then learns that "Akhenaten" is in fact the dark god Set up in disguise, and that the real Akhenaten was mummified in the same way every bit Tutenkhamen to allow Set to assume his class. However, because of Sphinx'due south actions he cannot disguise himself every bit Tutenkhamen to take power in Luxor equally planned.

Sphinx and Imhotep devise a plan to use the Mummy/Tutenkhamen'south immortality to their benefit; a single Canopic Vase is able to bring him to life for a short while, but he nonetheless remains practically expressionless assuasive him to safely venture the trap-riddled Castle of Uruk. Imhotep creates Bas-ket, who can sneak inside the castle to deliver the Vases to the Mummy. Throughout the story, the Mummy exploits his inability to be killed to survive the traps and think valuable items to help Sphinx in his quest. In return, Sphinx finds more than Canopic Vases over the course of the game and uses Bas-ket to send them to his undead ally.[five]

During his fourth dimension in the city of Heliopolis, Sphinx learns that the god Anubis has caused cracking suffering to the people of the land; well-nigh prominently, he cast many of them into stone statues. Sphinx's heroic nature appeals to Anubis, and gradually allows him to free the people from their stone curse. However, the tasks given to Sphinx become more than dangerous over time. Anubis asks him to retrieve "Sacred Crowns", immensely powerful objects once used past the gods of Egypt.[6]

The first crown to call up is the Sacred Crown of Abydos, a metropolis barraged past various disasters and troubles (though not apparent at first, the chaos is the work of Fix). Most recently, the Mayor falls very sick and the Crown nigh falls into the hands of his traitorous aides. Sphinx is able to save him and in return is rewarded with the crown.[7]

Each crown presents a greater challenge for Sphinx than the previous; he battles and defeats the fearsome Geb Queen for possession of the Sacred Crown of Uruk, and the pharaoh of Heliopolis for the Crown of Heliopolis. Equally Sphinx proves his might to Anubis, the enigmatic god reveals he cast the people of Heliopolis into stone to protect them from the darkness that will soon descend upon Arab republic of egypt at the hands of Fix.[viii]

The Mummy discovers The Sacred Crown of Set, the final crown, in the depths of The Castle of Uruk. He takes information technology and this greatly weakens the ray protecting the castle. Bas-ket is able to escape with the crown, but Set catches the Mummy and paralyses him.[nine]

With all four Sacred Crowns, Anubis is able to summon Osiris, another god who reveals he and Fix were in one case a unmarried course named Ra. Ready, however, became greedy and stole power from Osiris to have over Arab republic of egypt. Osiris uses the last of his power to transport Sphinx past the defenses of The Castle of Uruk, where he challenges Gear up for the fate of all Egypt. Set takes on his "true form"; a hideous monster with immense power, merely Sphinx is able to defeat him. Set is not destroyed, indeed Imhotep appears and tells Sphinx that this is non in his destiny. Instead, Osiris arrives and forcibly reunites himself with the weakened Set up and Ra is formed once once again. Ra gives the Mummy the terminal Canopic Vase, simply the Mummy tragically falls and breaks it. The game ends with a cliffhanger as Imhotep states there may be other means to assist Tutenkhamen regain his human being form.[10]

Development [edit]

The game was beginning announced past THQ on February xix, 2003, nether the working title Sphinx. Touted as a GameCube and PlayStation 2 title,[eleven] it would ultimately launch on the Xbox, as well.[12] Eurocom developed the game over a period of roughly 3 years, including time spent creating the championship's original engine.[13] The design for Sphinx himself inverse greatly over time, from a young kid of about six to his final class equally a teenager.[xiv] In creating the two differing styles of gameplay, the developers took inspiration from exploration and puzzle-solving in past games, such as the Zelda serial. During development, the office of the cursed mummy, Tutankhamen, increased in prominence.[thirteen] Early Sphinx featured a 70/30 split of play time between Sphinx and Tutankhamen,[14] which was adapted in the latter's favor in response to positive reactions to the character.[xiii] In line with this shift, the game'due south title was changed from the earlier Sphinx and the Shadow of Set to the advertised Sphinx and the Misfortunate Mummy sometime during mid-August and early September, soon before release.[13] [15] The Shadow of Ready development title had still been in use when THQ began providing demo discs for the PlayStation 2 version online.[16] It would ultimately be released in November with the finalized title of Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy.

It was originally intended that Sphinx transform into a mythical sphinx—a winged lion with human features. Flying sequences were to comprise effectually 30% of Sphinx (the graphic symbol)'s gameplay. These sections were triggered past reaching specific points in the game, one such expanse involving "flying through [...] tubes trying to become to a fortress, with many different obstacles on the way".[fourteen] A pre-production concept animation showcased the sphinx idea,[17] and character designer Juan Solís produced models for the character's sphinx form, which ultimately went unused.[18] Early media near the game also indicated that several further regions of Egypt would be included. IGN described the game's "seven worlds", including "the jungles, swamps and lakes of Sakkara" and "the underwater city of Akaria,"[19] neither of which featured in the final game. In pre-release interviews, THQ's Rob Loftus stated that Eurocom would be taking "full advantage" of the GameCube hardware, which would be evident in that version's improved lighting features.[14] [15]

Steve Duckworth, sound manager at Eurocom, composed the game's soundtrack,[xx] which was later published online for free download.[21]

Mobile version [edit]

The mobile version is a completely different 2d game. THQ Wireless published a Java version for mobile phones, developed by Humagade.[22] As in the console game, players alternately control Sphinx and Tutankhamen (the mummy) in activity and puzzle-solving scenarios, respectively.[23] Players seek out Tutankhamen'due south preserved organs in society to restore him to life while tracking the evil Set through the city of Uruk.[24]

PC version [edit]

A PC port was developed by Swyter, the author of an HD texture pack for the GameCube version.[25] Swyter is constantly updating the game for better performance and adding options to it.[26] The development kit, EuroLand, was released on February xix, 2018, allowing for mods of the game.[27] The Akaria and Sakkara beta levels, removed in the final game, were recreated with EuroLand equally mods that are at present available in the Steam Workshop.[28]

Technical issues [edit]

Using one of the save points in the Mummy department immediately following a particular cutscene that would reveal Horus' Betrayal in the story tin can cause a door to be permanently sealed if the play session is non immediately continued in all three console versions of the game. This traps the player, preventing further progress with no style to reverse the activeness. This forces the player to commencement over from the very beginning of the game. This issues was fixed in the PC and Switch version of the game, including the version hosted on the digital video game distribution platform Steam.[29]

Reception [edit]

Sphinx was well received by much of the gaming customs. IGN gave the game 8.5/10, calling it a "fun, challenging activity-take chances serv[ing] up a semi-not-linear feel complete with huge worlds to explore, difficult and satisfying puzzles, entertaining weapon and item advancements".[38] It was praised past critics for its unique characters and compelling storyline.[39] The game's graphics were also highly praised for their quality.[38] [39] However, some criticism was directed at the lack of voice acting to coincide with the text-heavy dialogue.[39] Commercially, the game performed poorly, with "sluggish sales [...] across all systems".[40]

The mobile release received a more muted response, though nonetheless by and large positive, with a 70.50% amass score on GameRankings.[41] IGN's Levi Buchanan admired the game's graphics, but criticised the "freaky" isometric controls for non being "as user-friendly every bit they demand to exist", overall feeling the game was "a pretty adept buy for fans of the original console game or in the hunt for an take a chance title."[23] Reviewing the title for GameSpot, Carrie Gouskos enjoyed the game'southward adherence to the style of the console title, saying it did "a good chore of maintaining the look and personality of the franchise", but called the controls "uncomfortable", the sound "not that interesting" and said the gameplay "doesn't have great longevity", overall finding it frustrating for anyone but players seeking "a simple picayune activity game [or] detail fan[s] of the series".[24]
