Some fantastic Mickey Mouse storytelling lives in “Epic Mickey,” a game that captured hearts when it premiered in 2010 on the Wii. Now, excitement is building as “Epic Mickey: Rebrushed” is poised to make its debut, promising to enchant both old fans and new with enhanced visuals and gameplay.
For those unfamiliar, “Epic Mickey” marked a significant moment in Disney history by reuniting Mickey Mouse with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, a character created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks. Oswald, often forgotten until Disney acquired the rights from Universal, makes a triumphant return in this game. The narrative revolves around Mickey’s accidental release of thinner, causing chaos in Sorcerer Yen Sid’s land of forgotten toons, known as The Wasteland. Mickey, with the help of Gus the Gremlin, embarks on a quest to restore the damage, exploring a dystopian version of Disneyland that’s both intriguing and eerie.
The original release had its quirks, notably a camera system that many players found frustrating. With the shift to the Unreal engine for the new version, there’s hope that these issues will be addressed, making for a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience. The game’s distinct areas, like Mean Street USA, offer a dark twist on the beloved Disney park that fans will love to explore anew.
