Imagine a GBA/DS Castlevania game, but instead of playing as a vampire hunter armed with a wip and holy water, you play as a soldier with a shotgun and a flamethrower. That should be enough info for you to decide to give this game a chance or not.

Nov. 2024

The design is a little scuffed. When you die, you lose all your powerups and have to get back to where you were on the map and fight a clone of yourself that has all of those powerups. So basically, when you die you reset the game. There's also some old castlevania medusa-head-into-pit bs---it doesn't feel earned, just annoying---and a kind of strange focus on ammunition. The map isn't amazing, but considering how bad metroidvania maps often are, it's ahead of the pack. And the game seems to be slightly more built for speedrunning than regular play---it's easier when you just skip the monsters and charge ahead. That all said, this is wildly ambitious for a tie-in game to tom cruise's mummy, and a lot of the design is fun. If you like metroidvanias---and especially if you like modern contra-likes like Huntdown---this is well worth grabbing on a sale. I don't love everything it's doing, but I'm surprised how much I like. Edit: I take it back. This might be the first metroidvania I've seen that doesn't mark doors (nor sometimes rooms) on the map, so there is no indication what connects to what. This also makes the waypoint system fully useless. If there's one thing you can count on in the metroidvania genre, it's new ways to make maps worse. 2nd Edit: Good god. You open iron doors with the C4, an item that swaps into your grenade slot, and that does not tell you that it opens iron doors. Beyond the fact that you're just sort of supposed to go back and forth testing different weapons on the iron doors (why?), why have this as a separate item? Why not just have it upgrade the grenade? Because as is, there's no reason to take other grenade types while you're exploring. 3rd Edit: I think the design of this thing would work *considerably* better as a roguelike. Multiple times I've had to just farm breakables in order to slowly recover ammo and health, which is boring, but the alternative is losing all my powerups and fighting my shadow self, which sucks and is boring. This issue would go away if farming wasn't an option and if new characters could get their own powerups before facing their shadow self. That said, this is not a roguelike and it's not going to become one. As is, it's an okay run and gun with a decent soundtrack. 4th Edit: It's pretty quick. I rolled credits, and I wouldn't say it was bad, just scuffed and bite-sized. In terms of movie tie-ins, it's a decent one. In terms of metroidvanias, it's not among the first I'd recommend. If you want something to play in a weekend, and you're not trying to play anything hitless, you could do worse.

Out of many Metroidvanias out there, this one definitely has some solid gameplay for not being well known. It has some rough spots sure, but it really does give an authentic feeling of that retro style that the genre was defined with. The soundtrack, composed by Monomer, is definitely the main selling point for me personally and also how I discovered the game, but the game itself, while short, is still a nice game to spend an afternoon or two on for the sake of it. Kind of like a similar title, Gato Roboto, that I've also played. I would suggest that one too. 8/10

Aug. 2024

I think this might be the best Metroidvania I've played that isn't a Metroid or Castlevania. The pixel art is fantastic; enemies, objects, and backgrounds all look terrific. I'm honestly amazed at how good I found this game to be, considering it was released to go with a movie that mostly everyone hated.

Feb. 2024

What a weird game. Ostensibly based off the Tom Cruise Mummy flick, it takes certain cues from the movie but otherwise is just a very bare bones metroid experience. Quality pixel animation and a banger soundtrack from WayForward, as well as tight controls are in abundance for a 4-6 hour game. Unlike most movie tie-ins, The Mummy Demastered doesn't hold your hand. It expects you to have a knowledge of metroidvanias and their mechanics. Unskippable cutscenes before every boss and a frankly embarrassingly bad map make 100% completion a frustrating experience. I don't think it's worth its current asking price of 20 bucks, so waiting for a sale is definitely a must just because of how short it is.
