The Mummy Demastered is a Metroidvania video game released in October 2017 by WayForward Technologies based on the 2017 film The Mummy. It takes place concurrently with the events of the film, with players playing Prodigium soldiers under the command of Dr. Henry Jekyll (with the likeness of Russell Crowe from the film) who must fight the evil forces of Princess Ahmanet (with the likeness of Sofia Boutella).
Gameplay[edit]
The Mummy Returns Video Game Cutscenes
The Mummy Demastered is a Metroidvania-style game where players traverse a large map which opens up to the player as they make progress in the game.[2] Upon dying the game resets the player as a new character, who then must retrieve their items from a zombified version of their former selves.[2]
The player's character is a soldier who works for Prodigium, as they follow Princess Ahmanet and battle her monsters, before eventually defeating her and Set in the final battle. There are two endings in this game, each of which are determined by the player's survival in their escape from the collapsing tomb.
In terms of the Metroidvania genre, Destructoid noted that the game seems to more closely resemble later side scrolling Castlevania games as opposed to Super Metroid,[3] with GameSpot noting that it also seemingly takes influence from Ghosts 'n Goblins.[2]
