The Mummy Demastered is a new 16-bit 2D action exploration game developed by ‘WayForward’. It’s coming out 24th of October for the Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC and PS4. The Mummy was loved by many people but this is a demastered 16-bit action packed new version. Let’s take a look.
The Mummy Demastered will straight away remind you of a certain game that had a similar look. That’s right… Metroid. There are many rooms, different areas and lots of exploration. Basically the story in The Mummy Demastered is that an ancient evil has arisen somehow. Princess Ahmanet has brought a supernatural army with her. An army of monsters, undead, insects and much more. Players control an elite is from the monster hunting organisation called Prodigium. You and your team are at the scene but you lost contact with them (as always). You need to know if they are okay and so you search but the primary objective is to defend humanity from evil. But… Will the bad guys let you?
Now games like this automatically bring up instant expectations. Many gamers want lots of rooms and areas to explore. Many want a map or a build as you go map of the levels and areas to make navigation easier and reduce the chances of going in circles. We want a lot of variety to enemies which require different tactics weapons to deal with. So The Mummy Demastered is not going to have an easy time so let’s keep an eye on this game to see if it meets expectations for not and we at X35 Earthwalker aren’t pleased with everything.
We checked out some gameplay and it’s what we thought. Honestly not much to say, it’s supposed to be 16-bit, it’s 2D, exploration is crucial, use mysterious artifacts, weapons and upgrades to fight your way through the horde. We aren’t saying this is a bad thing but what you see is what you get. There is a variety of environments like abandoned tunnels, tombs, streets of London and forests.
Overall this is a fun looking game. The sounds and music are great. Now it does look like the difficulty level of The Mummy Demastered might be too low at the moment from what we have seen. So we will just have to see. The developers ‘WayForward’ did a great job here. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an ear open for this game. The Mummy Demastered might be worth checking out. Evil may have arisen in this game but evil could arise above… the ‘Earth Walk!’
