A powerful ancient evil has arisen, and the war to save humanity has begun! The Mummy Demastered throws you into a 16-bit-inspired battle against the undead in a 2D, nonlinear, action-packed adventure. As an elite agent in the monster-hunting Prodigium organization, you must use a variety of weapons, upgrades, and mysterious artifacts to defend mankind against the supernatural hordes of Princess Ahmanet. Your Prodigium unit is already on the scene, but HQ lost contact with them hours ago. Only by exploring tombs, forests, abandoned tunnels, and the cursed streets of London will you discover the fate of your allies. But beware - Ahmanet commands legions of undead, insects, plague-ridden vermin, and worse! If you're not careful, you'll be the next soul in her army.
Stunning retro-inspired graphics and atmospheric chiptune soundtrack
If you're into action adventure games like Castlevania, Metroid, Shantae series, and etc., then you can't go wrong with Wayforward's "The Mummy: Demastered."
A metroidvania where you play as an undetermined number of grunts of a shady ancient order to keep the forces of evil at bay, The graphics and the music are nice, but that's pretty much all the game has going for it, it has many many flaws that ultimately kill the joy out of it.
For starters, as you don't play a single character but a endless line of grunts there's no involvement in the story, you get rasdio messages about "the mission" listen to the big bad sputter the mandatory evil threats and just carry on in perpetual silence.
There are no rpg elements, enemies are just happen to be on your way to your next objective, no currency, no experience, just healing orbs and ammo clips. This makes every enemy feel like a medusa head form Castlevania, they are just inconveniences, and as medusa heads, they'll annoy the crap out of you to no end, pushing you off platforms.
As stated, you don't play a single character, if you diew you become a zombie and the next grunt in line has to kill you to recover all the gear and powerups you previously had, so if you die in a particularly hostile place, well, good luck on your way back from the last save station.
There are no language options in the game and the GOG launcher states that the language can only be changed in game, so "how do I change languages?" you may ask, well, changing your whole systemm language, you dummy, say the developers.
But if you think that's a bit idiotic, get this, the enemy animations are tied to your refresh rate, if you run the game at a framerate higher than 60 the game becomes significantly more difficult, to the point that some of the platforming challenges will be unpassable. "Does the game has a framecap option?" you may ask again, naively, Have you beed paying attention? Of course not, you have to goo to your screen or graphics card settings and do it yourself.
Anywaysm, the game is wasted potential, play it if you are a masoochist.
I own this on the switch, if you have one grab it on that platform feels much more at home than on pc but regardless, the game is fantastic surprise from a licensed movie. Thank you TC for being such an ass about your image that brought this game to exist.
forget the movie, this game rocks!
nice levels, sound track, gear, bosses, unmercifuly enemies.
who those like metroidvania really need to buy this one!!!
I was little hesitant at first to purchase the game because of the name but after watching the trailer and playing, the game is great.
Well designed levels and difficulty
Nice variety of guns and equipment
Excellent soundtrack
If you like Metroidvania type games, I'd highly recommend it.
