The first time you play as Tut he will be in his pre-tragedy human form, but don't get used to his visage because it isn't long before he'll irrevocably be transformed into a mummy. Whereas Tut only has a few moves and relies almost exclusively on navigation. It's obvious that more time was spent with Sphinx when it comes to functionality he has more potential to grow as a character in terms of acquiring new weapons, skills, and moves. Both characters have their own unique abilities, but they maintain a general fluidity that makes switching between the two seamless. The majority of focus in the game is placed on Sphinx, but Tut the mummy does make more than a few appearances during the course of the experience. What's more is that each personality you come into contact with plays a substantial role in the game's multifaceted story elements. You'll run into lots of crazy characters that don't necessarily belong in the stereotypical world of Egyptians, yet blend in perfectly. While Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is decidedly Egyptian oriented, the game is also quite original and takes more than its fair share of liberties in sprucing up the age-old mythology of the era. It'll take the efforts of both Sphinx magician-to-be and prince Tut the mummy to undo the evils that have been set loose in the dark city of Uruk. The paths of both characters begin with completely separate circumstances but as the story progresses you learn that the fates of these two unlikely heroes are intertwined. The referenced "cursed mummy" is actually a young prince who was duped by his older brother and turned into an undead mummy. Sphinx is a half-demigod with a tail and apprentice to a powerful magician. The story in Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy revolves around its two titular protagonists. Yet, the similarities Sphinx shares with a recent Nintendo developed franchise hit (it rhymes with Melda) is hard to ignore. Developer Eurocom has went to great lengths to ensure the success of Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, and their effort is immediately apparent within the first few hours of the experience.

Sphinx is an action/adventure/platforming/puzzle game set against a fictitious backdrop of Egyptian mythology. Up until only six months before its release the title of the game was to be Sphinx and the Shadow of Set.


These are for the XBox.Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy has been in development for quite some time and gone through more than a few changes in the process. Later, though, you can learn a double-jump, which lets you get even higher up and get over obstacles.Įach controller for each system is slightly different, but it should be faily obvious after pushing a few buttons which button does which action. For example, at the beginning you can only do a basic jump up into the air. There are basic skills you begin the game with, and then there are upgrades to your skills that you learn at certain points along the way.
