    Looks good, plays smooth but then you run into its finer details. It’s enemy and level design could use some major balancing, the weapons and upgrades are hardly useful, and it’s respawm mechanic is so frustratingly moronic it damn near ruins the entire game. This isn’t Metroidvania, it’s metroidstargate. Anybody remember Stargate for the snes? When it comes down to the finer detailsLooks good, plays smooth but then you run into its finer details.

And that’s not something to be desired.… Expand

    This game has a major glitch close to the end where if you die straight after the penultimate boss you can no longer progress. Can you believe they never bothered to fix this bug? Completely spoiled what was an okay game otherwise

    The death system is game breaking. Basically if you die you lose absolutely all your upgrades, including your 6x life upgrade. You have to get back to your dead body to get it back

    So if you die far from you body at eand game, you're possibly locked out of your game completely because you die in 1 or two rooms, and your body is 10 rooms away.

    The Mummy Demastered isn't a bad game, but does stand apart from its progenitors in the genre in ways both interesting and annoying. [Issue #31 – January/February 2018, p. 22M]

    The Mummy Demastered feels less like a movie tie-in and more like a love letter to the metroidvania genre. The art style will appease a retro gamer appetite while it brings some modern elements to keep it fresh and engaging. If you're a fan of games of this ilk, then it is a must-have purchase. If you're not sure what metroidvania is, give it a go anyway. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

    The Mummy Demastered gives Switch owners a Metroidvania style game, while also delivering an experience that brings in some twists of its own. It has a few small warts that hold it back from the classic status of the video game franchises that inspired it, but the fact that can be said for a licensed game in 2017 is nothing short of remarkable.
