The Mummy Demastered Review

Where to start. lets jump the big hurdle first. When you die, you come back as another generic agent, and you must hunt your former agent and kill him for your stuff back, while dealing with whatever else spawns in this room. If you die during that attempt, then youll have to go deal with 2. Yes its hard, but thats the point.

To call this game a Metroidvania is somewhat inaccurate. I would call it a Controid. It has the level design of metroid, and the exploration. The combat and weapons, all Contra. Now the feel of the game, the ambiance, environment, and enemies are remeniscient of Castlevania. but gameplay wise, it borrows more from Metroid/Contra.

Its not a hard game to grasp, simple controls, there is however somewhat of a difficulty curve to it. Which isnt exactly a deal breaker, but it will tick you off. Controller reccomended.

The music matches the ambiance of the area your in fairly well, but lacks that Metroid/Castlevania feel.

The graphics are awesome, some of the best 16 bit gaming Ive done. You can feel the love in the detail, at least for its level of. The animations are nice and smooth.

Overall, if you were a Contra, Metroid, or Castlevania fan, then this game is worth it, Even more so if you catch it on sale.

Summary
Quibbles aside, The Mummy delivers a creative and action-packed adventure. Full of running, jumping, and gunning through tombs, forests, sewers, subway tunnels, and beyond, the game brims with challenging old-school charm. It's sure to bring back a flood of nostalgia, while still managing to be a solid game on its own. Still, a few more modern touches to make it slightly more playable wouldn't have hurt. As it is though, this is a fun and tough monster-filled trek that surpasses the license it's attached to.
