Description
Sphinx and The Cursed Mummy is an original 3rd person action-adventure inspired by the mythology of ancient Egypt. Travelling the world via magical portals to foil the evil plans of Set. Sphinx's Journey will require all his wits, agility, and special powers. He will also rely on his reluctant hero friend, The Mummy, to help when being inconspicuous is the only solution. By finding the stolen magical crowns of Egypt, Sphinx can stop Set and save the world.

An ancient Egyptian Universal Empire once joined several worlds through Solar Disc portals. The old empire was destroyed and the civilizations in each world have suffered different fates, some of them have continued contact and others have lost it. These worlds have been separated for such a long time that many of them would not recognize each other.

The legend says that two forces, one negative, one positive, are trying to recover the old empire and all of its crowns again. But we know very little about these forces or if they really exist. Other people are simply trying to understand what happened and the real nature of each world. Meanwhile each world continues with it’s own way and history.

Recently, strange things have been happening… News is received from many places that problems are appearing; the normally peaceful villages are now at war, odd monsters appear in valleys where there was once placid ecology... Nobody knows why…

The chain of communication between the worlds remains partially abandoned, partially destroyed and so unstable that to use it is a sure way to cause even more problems and dangers. A long time ago the Great Wall in Heliopolis was built to protect the civilians. Many people have used the portals but disappeared without trace. For this reason you never know how you will be received in any of the locations or if you will get anywhere at all.
  • Use Sphinx and his increasing array of skills to face deadly mythical monsters while avoiding perilous traps with acrobatic ease. Weaken enemies and use capture beetles to store and unleash their abilities at will.
  • Take control the Mummy when strength & combat skills aren't needed — use the Mummy's stealth and unconventional antics to avoid enemies, solve puzzles and sabotage right under the enemy's nose.
  • Interact with hundreds of unique and imaginative creatures, enemies and allies
  • Fantastic graphics bring this mythical world based on Egyptian legends to life
  • Totally immersive storyline and epic gameplay

Gamecube Classic

This was one of my favourites on the Gamecube, along with Starfox Adventures and Metroid Prime. Great platforming, great atmosphere, great graphics, and fantastic music. With fun characters and enemy types, a fun sense of progression and a very fun world to explore. I very much recommend it and it looks really nice in HD, with that memorable soundtrack.

Amazing game!

This game is made by Eurocom, who made games like Duke Nukem 64, 007 64, Crash Bash, Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, Spyro: A Hero's Tail and more. Sphinx and the cursed mummy very good and the Egyptian world is so inspired. The gameplay it's a little hard in the final stages of the game but the bossfights are original and all different. The soundtrack it's a masterpiece, i still play it when i'm studying or relaxing. The 34% of sale is an affair for a such wonderful game like Sphinx.

A fine 3D for the 6th gen platforms.

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is one of those games we picked up from the video game rental store, but could never quite beat, but kept coming back to. Revived in high-res, you can now really appreciate the detail put into the environments and characters! Gameplaywise, you can tell that the game wants you to play it in a very specific way. Screw up, and you're going back to step one of the current scenario, and that's assuming you're on the right track in the first place. It's a game that requires a lot of patience to get through, but if you have it, it can be an incredibly reqarding experience. Little note, though; Using a PS4 controller resulted in uncontrollable button overlap where moving with the analog stick opened the menu, which got in my way during the first platforming section, whereas using a PS5 controller gave me a flawless experience. I don't know if this is a recent update or what, but keep in mind what your control options are.

Excellent platformer

I played this a long time ago on the Nintendo GameCube and loved it then. I was so pleased when I found out that this game was ported to the PC and on GOG! It was an instant purchase, no questions asked. I am reviewing this game later than a lot of the other reviews on this page, but I have not encountered any real or glaring issues with this game on GOG. Everything has worked as expected and I was able to complete the game in around 12 - 13 hours of gameplay. If I had to categorize this gem of a game it would be an Egyptian themed Zelda game, except for the platforming parts.
