Release Date: September 24, 2024
A refreshed version of the renowned 3D platformer from 2010, created by Warren Spector (Deus Ex). The most unique feature of Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is the option to use magical brush and other painting tools to create or remove things from the game's world.
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a three-dimensional platformer that is a remake of the Epic Mickey game released in 2010 for the Nintendo Wii console. The original game was developed by the Junction Point studio under the leadership of Warren Spector, a designer known for creating Deus Ex. The task of refreshing the game was entrusted to the Purple Lamp team, which has in its portfolio, among others, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake and SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated.
The remake faithfully recreates the plot of the original. The story takes place in a land created by the sorcerer Yen Sid using a magic brush. It's a home for forgotten Disney characters. Until recently, this place was friendly and full of life, but that changed when Mickey Mouse, playing with an enchanted brush, caused damage, transforming the land into post-apocalyptic wastelands controlled by a monster known as Shadow Blot.
The game's story begins some time later, when the aforementioned monster kidnaps Mickey Mouse into their kingdom. There, the hero will have to face not only Shadow Blot, but also corrupted versions of classic Disney characters, including the first hero of this studio, namely Oswald the Rabbit.
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a 3D platformer using a third-person perspective. During the game, we explore maps, collect items, avoid dangers, and fight enemies. The game has a morality system that evaluates our decisions and influences the story and its ending. Besides the main adventure, we can also have fun with numerous optional side quests.
The most unusual element of the gameplay is using the magical brush and enchanted solvent, which allow us to appropriately paint elements of the world or remove them from it. These tools play a key role in exploration, dealing with enemies, and solving puzzles.
The game offers only a singleplayer mode.
Compared to the original from 2010, the authors significantly refreshed the graphics. Additionally, several new attacks have been added to the main character's repertoire of moves.

Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed remains a strange game but one that's compelling and rewarding. It's excellent that this Wii classic is this enjoyable all of these years after its initial release and it looks great this time around to boot. ???

HQ and Purple Lamp Studios have brought another classic back and better than ever! Though Epic Mickey: Rebrushed can be a little repetitive and still has some cameras issues, the game looks and feels better than ever.
Wccftech: 7.5 / 10 by Francesco De Meo
Disney's Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a solid remaster that enhances the original experience with some nice improvements. Unfortunately, the experience is still carried by the setting exploring Disney's forgotten history, as the remaster does little to address dated level design, lackluster combat, and underdeveloped features like the morality system. Despite these shortcomings, Mickey's journey in the Wasteland remains enjoyable, especially for hardcore Disney fans eager to see some of the company’s long-forgotten characters brought back to life.
