Return of Egypt is a great Castlevania clone in an Eqyptian tomb but everything is in Japanese. Reviews on other websites like to call your character Moses but the correct translation is Lanier Gadishu. The gameplay definitely feels like Castlevania; you fight powerful bosses, and obtain items to increase your abilities and learn magic spells. Magic spells include healing, a homing shot, a fireball, a lightning storm, and a secret ability. The fireball spell can also destroy spikes on the ground. I beat the game and never found the secret ability, but you can edit the save game in "config.ini" to add it. Spells are preformed using a combo, but it's tricky to do with a keyboard (it was designed for a gamepad). Just make sure that you press and release each key in the combo before pressing the next one. You never have to press two keys at once even if the picture looks like you do. The game is relatively short with only 5 bosses but the gameplay is great so I recommend it.
Story:
(I modified the badly translated page on Camain to be more readable & used Google translate on the names)
100 years ago, a great battle unfolded.
It awakes from sleep of a thousand years, the world is filled with chaos done by the devil, Herugain.
On a mission to master magic, to protect the people from the demon lord is Lanier Gadishu.
It is a fight between light and darkness...The fight ended in victory of the light.
Even though devil's body was destroyed, it's destruction did not banish the demon's curse.
Then Gadishu sealed the wicked curse deep inside the palace of the ancients, the darkness was buried eternally and was forgotten.But today.
After 100 years, death is spreading from the area where the demon lord was slain, Gadishu feels a disquieting wind.
The sign, it seems that the devil is returning again.
Worried, Gadishu hurries to return to Egypt.Follow the signs back to their origin and remember, it is the palace of the ancients.
And entering it is to see what is through the door to the underworld.
Determined, Gadishu sets foot in the palace in the desert.
But it is almost too late, the fight between light and darkness probably will start again...
