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.
Nintendo Life: 8 / 10 by Mitch Vogel
Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a welcome return for one of Mickey's most memorable adventures, this is just about everything one could've wanted out of a revisit to a lost classic. It fumbles its execution a bit with the performance, but there are enough novel ideas and enjoyable gameplay concepts here to make the experience more than worth your while. Enjoyable gameplay, a captivating world, lots of replayability, and a raft of tweaks and improvements over the original make this one an easy sell. We'd recommend this to anyone looking for a big-budget 3D platformer that does things a little differently from the genre norms, and of course to anyone who considers themselves an avid Disney fan.
Pure Nintendo: 9 / 10 by Trevor Gould
Though I've always enjoyed Epic Mickey, I'm thrilled to have revisited the game, as it has held up remarkably well. This remake makes it better than ever. If you're looking for that "Disney Magic," so to speak, you'd be hard-pressed to find much better than this. Full of surprises, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a delight.
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!
