Weirdly good timing! I've had Mummy Demastered on my Switch wishlist for ages now but have yet to pick it up as it's never gone on sale in that time... until today!
I remember borrowing the mummy gbc game from a friend in elementary school. I haven't looked at it since, but it's wild how much worse it looks now than it did in my memories.
Being suckered by the Mummy Returns game trailer is so relatable 🤣 I did like the fact that you could dismember the undead folks and use their own body parts against them though. I was like, "whoa! This must be what playing M-rated games feels like!"
The mummy tomb of the dragon emperor on PlayStation 2 is a pain in the rear. I could barely get past the final level where you shoot a turret at hordes of terracotta warriors. I died again and again until I just got lucky. Then fighting the emperor who turns into giant monsters just got frustrating and I gave up on it. Whoever made that game is crazy!
Nice run-through of these games. I was a fan of the movies growing up but never played the games because they didn't look great. It's crazy how many games on the PS1 from this generation had tank controls. Even a number of the platformers. Tomb Raider influenced a lot of devs.
I played the Mummy Demastered last year and I quit halfway through it. It’s a decent Metroidvania, but the problem lies in the enemies. Just tons and tons of them constantly spawning at all times. It makes platforming puzzles a huge pain and backtracking a miserable slog. The rooms don’t stay cleared and every time you clear a room and come back, all the monsters are back. I stopped playing when my character got overwhelmed in a corner and died. I tried to go back for my gear but I was in such a horrible position that I would enter the room and immediately get annihilated from off screen by my mummified soldier. Neat game, just incredibly cheap and unfair.
you lose massive points for not turning on the widescreen mode for dragon emperor on ps2 (alongside losing more points for chickening out of the scorpion games. that was odd.)
