This is a rather good thing since - despite this being a Disney game - Castle Illusion is actually a rather challenging experience, wherein you’ll become quite well acquainted with the Game Over screen.Īppearing less often is a slightly alternate control scheme that occurs whenever Mickey moves into a segment featuring true 3D game play, wherein Mickey trades his ability to crouch for movement in all 360 degrees. In this regard the controls work extremely well, especially if you turn off the floating analog stick option, leaving me to only ever feel as if I alone was to blame whenever Mickey suffered an unfortunate demise. Using these controls you’ll command Mickey to run, swing, jump, duck, swim, enemy head stop, and projectile toss his way to victory across the various segments of Mizrabel’s castle. Meanwhile - on the other end - are your jump and toss projectile buttons, with a selectable option to have the jump button either be a specific location or the entire right hand side of the screen (save for the location of the toss button itself). On your iDevice’s left hand side will be your virtual analog joystick, which - depending on the settings - will either be free-floating or have a rigidly fixed location (I personally preferred the latter of the two). Moving forward, the bulk of your time in Castle of Illusion will be spent upon a 2.5D playing field (which - for those of you yet not aware - basically means a game with 2D based game play, that otherwise contains 3D graphics). Now while this doesn’t make the game bad at all - and I would, in fact, even argue that this rendition is actually quite good - those hoping for a stricter adaptation, where enhanced visuals were the only change, might be sorely disappointed with this offering. The first thing I should probably immediately cover is that while you do indeed face all of the same obstacles - environments - and enemies from the 16-bit original, this game is a far more liberally handled remake than WayForward’s DuckTales Remastered. Thus goes the set up to Sega’s Castle of Illusion : Starring Mickey Mouse ( out now, $9.99) a modern-day 2.5D re-imagined remake of the 1990 Sega Genesis side scrolling classic. However - just when all seemed hopeless - a strange old fellow informs Mickey that Mizrabel could be defeated if he had the seven rainbow gems, but warns him that they are protected by the witch’s fiendish Masters of Illusion! With hope once more in hand, Mickey then set forth into the ominous Castle of Illusion with the full intention of bringing Minnie back home before a horrible fate could be cast upon her. Poor Mickey, Minnie has been absconded by the horrible Mizrabel - a powerful master of the arcane arts - whom now hopes to use her dark magic to steal Minnie’s beauty for herself.
