The WhatsNext verdict
For Players who like side-view action, nonlinear exploration, and a gothic monster hunt in a retro pixel style: Each tomb, forest, and London street opens new routes and tools, so returning to an old area often pays off. Tradeoff: Trips back to earlier areas can slow the pace, and the retro look trades fine visual detail for a clear, readable style.

The setup
What you are walking into
"A powerful ancient evil has arisen, and the war to save humanity has begun! The Mummy Demastered throws you into a 16-bit-inspired battle against the undead in a 2D, nonlinear, action-packed adventure. As an elite agent in the monster-hunting Prodigium organization, you must use a variety of weapons, upgrades, and mysterious artifacts to defend mankind against the supernatural hordes of Princess Ahmanet. Your Prodigium unit is already on the scene, but HQ lost contact with them hours ago. Only by exploring tombs, forests, abandoned tunnels, and the cursed streets of London will you discover the fate of your allies. But beware - Ahmanet commands legions of undead, insects, plague-ridden vermin, and worse! If you're not careful, you'll be the next soul in her army."
