Hero of Egypt: Chains of Duat

Hero of Egypt: Chains of Duat is a God-of-War-style third-person action-adventure video game developed and published by Empire Entertainment. The game is the third installment of the Hero of Egypt series, and the first in the series, prequel of the original Hero of Egypt. Loosely based on the Egyptian mythology (and partly Mesopotamian), it is set in Ancient Egypt, with heroism as central motif. The player controls the protagonist, named Imhotep, a priest of the god Osiris, whom seeks revenge against those who killed his family, a quest which will turn to be a quest for heroism. During the game, his glorious-but-tragic past will be revealed to the player.

The gameplay is similar to the previous installment, with a focus on combo-based combat, achieved through the player's main weapon — the Egyptian Khopesh — and secondary weapons acquired throughout the game. It features quick time events that require the player to complete game controller actions in a timed sequence to defeat stronger enemies and bosses. The player can use up to four magical attacks as alternative combat options.

Gameplay
Just like the previous installments, Hero of Egypt: Chains of Duat is a third-person single-player video game viewed from a fixed camera perspective. The player controls the character Kratos in combo-based combat, platforming, and puzzle game elements, and battles foes who primarily stem from Egyptian mythology, including mummies, servants of Seth, serpopards, sphinxes, animal-headed demons, and giant snakes.

Combat
Imhotep's main weapon is the Egyptian Khopesh, a broad longsword which can also be used as a knife (just like Kratos' Blades of Chaos). As the game progresses, Imhotep also gains a traditional Egyptian Shield, as well as three new weapons - the Daggers of Ramses, the Mace of Narmer and the Katana of Seti. Four magical disciplines are acquired, including the Fire of Seth, the Wind of Shu, the Water of Tefnut and the Soul of Osiris, which, depending on the magic equipped, imbues Imhotep's weapons with that elemental property. For example, the Soul of Osiris imbues Imhotep's weapons with green flames and can unleash souls of the Underworld to briefly attack enemies. The Water of Tefnut also enables Imhotep to breathe underwater, a necessary ability as substantial time may be spent there.

Survival
Besides the Challenge of the gods mode, once Story Mode is completed for the first time, the player is also allowed to play a new mode called Survival.

In this mode, Imhotep enters in a tower where, at each floor, he fights some of the minions he encountered in the game. Once the floor is clear, Imhotep can pass on the next floor.

Also, before starting the Survival Mode, the player can choose at least one of the upgrades the player unlocks in the game. Here are the following power-ups:


 * Egyptian soldiers
 * Nubian soldiers
 * Egyptian archers
 * Nubian archers
 * Egyptian spearmen
 * Nubian spearmen
 * Allied mummies
 * Allied statues
 * Health upgrades (x4)
 * Magic upgrades (x4)
 * Uraeus snakes
 * Sentinels of Ra
 * Health shrines (x3)
 * Magic shrines (x3)

Settings
As with the previous games in the Hero of Egypt series, Hero of Egypt: Chains of Duat is set in an alternate version of Ancient Egypt, populated by the Gods, mortals and other beings from Egyptian mythology. Game events are set two years before the original Hero of Egypt, since the game starts before Imhotep decided to retire himself and become a priest. The narrative takes place over four weeks; it shifts several times between the present (the fourth week) and past (the preceding three weeks), while the player controls Imhotep in both. Several locations, including the Central Prison of Duat and several real-world locations — including the village of Napata - are included and explored in the game.

Prologue
"[We see Imhotep, the Pharaoh of Egypt, writing on a Papyrus scroll in private. Cut to an Egyptian mural depicting Imhotep sitting on his throne. In front of Imhotep, the people bows to him, adoring him like a God. The camera soon gradually zooms up to Imhotep's face.] Imhotep (v/o): My name is Imhotep. I have become a legend. I have become the Pharaoh of Egypt. I have become the Hero of Egypt. And this is my story. [Cut to another mural depicting Anubis (on the right) and Horus (on the left) putting Imhotep, as a baby, in a basket, and delivering it to Ahmose and his wife Satiah.] Imhotep (v/o): It begins with me being born. Born to the Gods. I did not anything wrong... so why... [Cut to another] Imhotep (v/o): Why have I been cursed? In this mysterious land of Ancient Egypt, where lineage of lineage of Pharaohs ruled with god-given right. An unforgiving desert of slaves and divine. [The screen fades to black.] Imhotep (v/o): It was my curse. A curse inflicted by a twisted God. A monster who was my father. Seth."

- Intro of the game

The game begins with Osiris being chained on a platform, situated in a Duat. It's shown that Osiris has been imprisoned, chained, and tormented by an unknown lord after the latter defeated him. While someone walks in the shadows (ninja-style lol XD), an henchman of the lord approaches Osiris.

"??: Hail to thee, Osiris. [Osiris wakes up] ??: What is the matter, Osiris? [Osiris looks up, and sees a tall, bulky man dressed as a priest. His arms folded, the figure looks at Osiris mockingly.] Khaba: You seem confused, Osiris. Having trouble remembering our special time together? [The priest kicks Osiris repeatedly in the face.] Khaba: But then again, it is a shame we were interrupted by my own lord. And rudely, too. I must confess this: my lord was never one for manners. [The priest then proceedes to punch Osiris in the face and gut.] Khaba: But it looks like today is my lucky day. My lord ordered me to take care of you. Which is a good thing, considering I am quite skilled in teaching some... respect. [The priest cracks his knuckles and smiles, while Osiris looks at Khaba with indifference. The priest charges his punch... only to feel kind of immobilized at his momentum. The priest, surprised, turns around and sees Imhotep holding his fist.] Imhotep: You may talk about respect all day... [Tightens his grip] ...but my dear friend Osiris knows the true meaning of respect better than anyone. Khaba: Grr... let me go, mongrel! [Imhotep violently lets go his grip, leaving the priest holding his aching arm.] Khaba: Tch... I should have known that you were lurking around, bastard. So, you truly are a friend of this illegittimate tyrant? Imhotep: I recall not a time where Osiris was a tyrant. It is a shame you took it out from his rightful throne. Since, unfortunately, my friend is unable to be your judge, I will take care of this responsibility. Khaba: You will pay for this barbarity!"

- Imhotep attemps to save Osiris, and the first boss fight ensues

Imhotep proceedes to fight Khaba, and manages to have an advantage against him, cutting off an arm of his. Injured, he flees, only to summon various beasts from the Underworld. Khaba continues to taunt Imhotep, and lures him in the Hand of Duat, an horribly monstrous beast summoned with the blood of humans and with his own magic. This forces Imhotep to fight the beast. After a brief struggle, Imhotep reaches up to Khaba and grabs him, tossing him off the beast. Imhotep then dives down after Khaba and, just as the pair smash against a lower platform, he drives his sword into Khaba's chest, killing him instantly.

Imhotep then goes and frees Osiris, and then proceedes to head towards the Lord. As soon as he does so, a flashback ensues, explaining all that happened before the battle.

Imhotep's revenge
The flashback begins with Imhotep entering a market at his home city.

"Hazem: Finest bread for my finest customer. Imhotep: Your finest scribe, you mean. Thank you, Hazem. Hazem: Really? Good for you, Imhotep. I'll make sure to bring more of- Imhotep: [Smiles and laughs] Oh, there's no need to. [Uberknownst to him, a kid snatches Imhotep's bread from his hands.] Imhotep: HEY! [Starts chasing him] Get back here! Give me back my bread! [While Imhotep keeps chasing the kid, a cloaked man stays hidden in the shadows, right in the path, until...] ??: DIE! Imhotep: Wha-? [The man slashes out, but only succedes in cutting a couple of purple hair. Horrified at that sight, everyone (except the kid, who hids behind a basket) runs away from the scene.] Aknem: Oh, you dodged it well, Imhotep... but next time, it will be you pretty face. Imhotep: You wish. [Imhotep silently snatches a stone from a pocket of his skirt, unseen.] Aknem: You know, Imhotep, everyone's still wondering why you still insist on trying to live a normal life. Refusing to joining the cult was an asinine choice. Head Master will be so proud of me when he hears I have outwitted you. Imhotep: Come on, Aknem. Let us just talk this over. Aknem: Talk, you say... You should know that talk is for the weak. You do not understand what this life really is. You do not realize how much we all have to sacrifice to bring you, a very important individual, to our organization. And there you go, running around with no regard for the dangers you are putting yourself in! You think that risk is worth the suffe- [As he talks, Imhotep throws a stone at Aknem's head, cowboy style. Surprised, Aknem has no time to react at all and is hit with enough strenght to make him senseless.] Imhotep: Speak for yourself, Aknem. You always talked too much. [Horrified at that sight, the kid, believing Aknem dead, drops the bread and runs away. Imhotep turns around and sees that the kid is gone.] Imhotep: Hmph... [He then picks up his bread] At least my bread is in one piece. [Imhotep then leaves the scene. Uberknownst to him, a woman (whom reveals herself to be Tanit) approaches the scene, and picks up some of the purple hair than Aknem cutted off Imhotep before.] Tanit: Hm... Purple hair? How odd. Well, now I am interested. Now if only the Gods led me in the right direction to confront him. Oh, almighty Horus... [The screen fades to black, and soon Anubis' voice is heard.] Anubis: HORUS! [We see Horus meditating before a fire. Horus, hearing Anubis' voice, turns around.] Anubis: Horus! Horus: What did I do now, brother? Anubis: I cannot believe you allowed that commoner to attempt to kill Imhotep! Horus: Anubis, I do not control the actions of the humans. But as your brother and his protector, I promise I will keep a closeer eye on him. This is all I can do for him. That group does not worship me, so I have no control over them. You know the rules Father has put forth. Anubis: Hmph! Horus: You already know the problems Father has with that boy of his brother. After all, he is the outcast child. But believe me, Anubis: Imhotep is destined to bring about change so severe that it would shake the very pillars of the Universe. His death is something that we cannot allow. So don't worry. All will be fine..."

- Imhotep is ambushed

Meanwhile, Imhotep returns home from his family, at Thebes.

"[We see Ahmose meditating upon a balcony of Imhotep's house. Soon, a shadowy figure approaches past the main entrance. Ahmose, hearing the footsteps, is alarmed and quickly starts drawing his sword.] Imhotep: [Reveals himself] Father... Ahmose: [Surprised] Imhotep? Imhotep: [Is dressed in a very elegant attire] IT is good to see you, father. How do I look? A perfect vizier? Ahmose: You look perfect, my son. [Father and son hug each others] Welcome back home! So, you really have overcame yourself in those tests? Imhotep: Of course, father. Soon, it will the moment I go to Memphis and serve the Pharaoh as a Royal Scribe. Ahmose: Your mother will be proud of you. Imhotep: I know, but... you see, father, I have not intention of achieve mere pride and bask in the sun of Ra. Like you, I wish to help the Pharaoh to protect Egypt. I heard uneasy omens about it. Ahmose: Not to worry, my son. Your moment will come. And be careful: not all your enemies will be found on the battlefield. You know how jealous the court can be towards someone so respected like you. Imhotep: I know that, father. [As soon as Ahmose is speaking, Imhotep's mother's voice is heard.] Nebet: Imhotep! [Imhotep soon goes and hugs his mother as well.] Nebet: Look at you, Imhotep. You're so handsome! Imhotep: Mother, please... Nebet: Your sister awaits you, Imhotep. Ahmose: He will meet her soon, dear. Now, I wish to talk with him alone, please. Nebet: Very well. I will go and find your sister. [Leaves.] Imhotep: [Looks at his father] Is something bothering you too? Ahmose: We will discuss in due time. But for now... [And Ahmose gives him a sword and a shield.] Ahmose: Let us see what did you learn. Imhotep: Is... is that really necessary? Ahmose: Imhotep, did you really think that I know not that Ankhu is not the only one who taught you anything he knew? [Imhotep, after some uncertainty, takes his weapons, and his father readies his.] Imhotep: Very well, father."

- Imhotep meets up with Ahmose, his father

Imhotep then trains with his father, and defeats him.

"Ahmose: An unusual, but proud day. A son who beats his father. Horembeb taught you very well. Now, about that... thing... Imhotep: Right. I think it would be best if we have a walk, too. Ahmose: Sounds good. [And the two start walking around.] Imhotep: It is said that Egypt is in great unrest. Ahmose: Indeed. Egypt is now living a difficult time, and an edict from the Pharaoh could change everything. [Ahmose goes and open a top box, and pulls out a small, golden necklace with a scarab.] Ahmose: I give this to you, Imhotep. May the Gods guide you in your quest for protecting Egypt. Imhotep: What is this? Ahmose: It is the Golden Scarab of Khepri. This is not a regular necklace, my son. It is a reminder of whoever wears it to act in the name of justice. The Gods watch all over us, Imhotep, and Maat is no exception. As you are now going to serve the Pharaoh and play crucial roles, think back on what the carab tells you. [Suddenly, some seconds later, there is an explosion. Imhotep and Ahmose turn around and run towards a balcony of the manor, only to see Nebet and Satiah being chased by Egyptian traitors.] Imhotep: Mother! Ahmose: Traitors! [Ahmose unseathes his sword, and so does Imhotep.] Ahmose: Follow me!"

Imhotep and Ahmose fight the traitors, but arrive too late to save Nebet and Satiah, as they are found dead on the border of the pool. This enrages Ahmose and Imhotep who proceed to kill as many traitors as they can. The battle ends on the streets of the city of Busiris where many traitors find their deaths, but so does Ahmose, killed by a traitor as well. Horrified, Imhotep runs and tries to help his father.

"Ahmose: It is worse than I could have imagined. You must save Egypt, Imhotep! Save it from... [Falls on the ground, dying.] Save it from him. [Ahmose closes his eyes, dead, leaving his son Imhotep to grief over his father's corpse.] Imhotep: Bastards! You murdering treacherous bastards! [Keeps griefing over his father's corpse.] I will do as you bid, father. I will save Egypt from him... I shall spill his blood. [Imhotep hears the footsteps of the Pharaoh Menreptah, and of Horembeb, Imhotep's military instructor.] Menreptah: I am the Pharaoh of Egypt. Greetings, Imhotep. [Imhotep rises his head, and meets their gazes.] Horembeb: If it s blood you want, I promise I will give you as much as you can handle. Menreptah: You are a scribe? Imhotep: Yes, Your Majesty. Horembeb: Not anymore. [Stands up] Welcome to the army, soldier. [Imhotep stares at the prominent figure of the Pharaoh with admiration and determination.]"

Soon, howerer, while Imhotep was going to come at age, he learned about Imhotep's curse inflicted by Seth since he was an born. This instillated fear inside Ankhu, whom was later seduced by Seth, whom took him as a servant of his. Since the mark Seth gave Imhotep via the scorpion was supposed to kill him, or render him his servant in case of survival, if Imhotep lost his human family he would give in the darkness, in a way or another. Thus, Seth ordered Ankhu to lead an invasion in the family mansion, while all family members were inside.
