Epic Mickey: Rebrushed

Final WeaponSaras Rajpal

Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a fantastic remaster that manages to resurrect a cult classic in a way that is respectful of the source material while updating it for modern audiences. The story is still great even after fourteen years. Plus, the visuals and gameplay have been tuned to near-perfection. While you can't help but wish for more additions to the story and world, the quality-of-life changes to gameplay and replayability make this the perfect way to play this underrated platformer.

Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed was a victim of timing when it first released in Nov 2010. While it had some success on the Wii (and subsequent entries on other s

Overall, Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a delight to play. Purple Lamp did a fantastic job of remaking the game from scratch with grand visuals and the addition of a double jump makes the game more playable than its Wii incarnation. The paint and thinner mechanics are a true highlight of this Disney adventure, and the overall atmosphere of the game is both creepy and upbeat. It would be a real treat to see if Purple Lamp could make an Epic Mickey 3 in the future, as this game shows the Vienna-studio's talent of making the Wasteland come to life.

Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a beautiful remaster of one of the Wii’s best, but oft-overlooked platformers.

Originally a Wii exclusive, Epic Mickey Rebrushed has had an incredible face lift, making it feel every bit as fresh as a brand new game from 2024. This is a rich and worthwhile adventure-platformer even if you're not a huge Disney fan — but if you are, you'll get a huge kick out of the frequent nods to the company's long history.

Since its release on the Nintendo Wii back in 2010, Epic Mickey has been begging for a re-release. Despite getting a sequel that was more widely available, it’s only now that the original game is getting a much-needed update. Announced during a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed finally gives the game a new coat of paint. It’s exciting to see this creative Disney title come back to life, but does it live up to its potential, or does it fall short of the maste...

Epic Mickey Rebrushed is a solid hybrid platformer. With floaty jumps for those new to the genre and deep references to the Disney of yesteryear, it's fun for the family, even if a bit shallow.

Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is exactly what you’d want from a remastered Wii game. It gives the visuals the contemporary sheen worthy of its unique art style, adds important control improvements to make it palatable to modern audiences, and also knows when to let the gameplay speak for itself.

Epic Mickey Rebrushed is an undeniable improvement over the original, but a fresh coat of paint can't fix the pointless morality system.
