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.

Game Ratings for Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed Video Game.
Press Start: 8.5 / 10 by Harry Kalogirou
Disney Epic MIckey: Rebrushed is a joy to revisit or play for the first time in 2024. The few design flaws that do present aren't nearly impactful enough to bring down the whole experience. Epic Mickey remains one of Disney's strongest showing in the medium of games, and Rebrushed is a nostalgic and heartwarming reminder why.
TheGamer: 3.5 / 5 by George Foster
I’m not sure that anything can ever capture the lightning in a bottle that was Epic Mickey’s original concept, but Rebrushed is the closest thing we’ll ever get to that dark magic, even if one of its core pillars is something that still drags it down. If you’re a diehard fan, you’ll love all of the small changes Rebrushed makes to cut down on the grind and monotony the original suffered from, and if you’re a newcomer you’ll experience Disney’s weirdest venture at its absolute best.
Checkpoint Gaming: 7.5 / 10 by Alex Beaty
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a fresh coat of paint for the twisted take on Disney's forgotten edges, yet it falls short of being a masterpiece. As remakes go, the game breathes new life into the graphics, even adding extra gameplay moves and other quality-of-life improvements. However, a tedious objective system and a lack of voiced dialogue feels like a missed opportunity for Mickey's return. Despite this, the title shines in its preservation of a unique chapter in Disney's gaming legacy and offers hope that we might just see more from Mickey and Oswald yet!
