"By far, the best parts of Rogue Legacy are when you’re finally decked out with better stats and more skills, ready to explore a newly themed area. This was also a complaint in the original console version of the game, and it hasn’t been fixed here either after all these months. It’s not unplayable, but it’s extremely annoying and irritating and makes the gameplay boring and uninspiring. is super buggy, there are times when he just sits there and doesn’t do anything when he’s supposed to activate something, then there are times when you actually ask him to do something, and he doesn’t do it. Since the player always spends time with Oswald or Mickey, there are times in the game where both must cooperate to find hidden secrets or continue the main story line.Įpic Mickey: The Power of Two does have a co-op mode which can be a ton of fun when playing with a friend, and this is where the game truly stands out on its own. While the gameplay has a decent pace to it, however it still has many flaws that certainly hamper down the overall experience. Experimenting with the paint/thing mechanic rewards the player in many ways. Everything in the game is super well hidden, and it’s fun to try to thin or paint every nook and cranny to see what happens. Players may come across treasure chests that include currencies for upgrades, pins that unlock character items and quests that reward with more stuff. The game rewards players for exploring worlds and levels. What I love about the gameplay, is the collecting of hidden items and completion of side-quests throughout the story. "Combat in itself isn't terribly deep, but offers a good variety of options and feels quite satisfying thanks greatly to the easy-to-grasp controls. Depending on what you decide to do, you may get different outcomes and receive different rewards.
Thinning and painting mechanics are also used during certain story choices and quests. Both mechanics are well done and serve the gameplay purpose well. If the paint is sprayed on enemies, then they become your friends and fight for you against other enemies. Meanwhile, painting the world makes things come to life. Thinning out the world makes objects or enemies evaporate and disappear, this can be used to find hidden secrets throughout the game or to kill on coming evil enemies. Throughout the game the player can either paint or thin out pieces of the world and that includes enemies, objects and surrounding environments. Mickey joins up with Oswald, the famous Disney rabbit in order to reach their goal. The game’s main mechanic is based on the magical brush that Mickey has to use in order to save the world. Gameplay in Epic Mickey: The Power of Two is perhaps the best part of the game, even though it has some flaws and bugs. The potential for crisp graphics was here instead the game felt rushed and just ported over for the sake of putting the title on a different platform. The game’s graphical performance and shoddy optimization bogs down the experience and gameplay. "Feeling a bit nostalgic? Here's a Gameboy-like monochrome layer to go along with that! It’s silly, but in a game where the point of progressing requires you to perish anyway, I didn’t mind it all that much." As a matter of fact, the graphics and frame-rate is far superior on the console version. Vita is a powerful handheld system and Epic Mickey: The Power of Two doesn’t actually boast amazing graphics, despite that, the optimization was disappointing and could have been much better.
Second, the frame-rate is not solid and tends to be choppy throughout the majority of the game, which is a shame. First there are a couple of freezes/slow-downs in the game at certain parts of the game. However, the presentation does have a few issues.
The soundtrack fits the story and the Disney characters are personable and like-able all around. Voice acting is fabulous, and the Disney musicals throughout the game are perfect. The game has a fantastic art direction that is true to Disney and charming to the audience at the same time. Is this game better on the PlayStation Vita or is it the same mess that came out last year? Let’s find out.Įpic Mickey: The Power of Two is presented quite well. Sony has decided to publish this game on the PlayStation Vita and add a couple of new features specific to the platform. However, the idea was interesting, and the game had strong production values when it came to voice acting and the Disney charm. The game wasn’t particularly well received due to frustrating A.I bugs and some gameplay mechanics issues that hampered the game in the process. Epic Mickey: The Power of Two is a platforming game that was released last year for the consoles as a sequel to the first Epic Mickey.
