As the fourth work in the classic film "The Mummy" series, although the "New Mummy" with the help of Atang Ge has encountered Waterloo in word of mouth, the good results of the domestic box office of 570 million alone still prove its strong appeal. And now every time a new work is launched, then the "film-game linkage" has become a existence that cannot be ignored, and this is also the case for this work. In addition to the movie itself and the game "The Mummy Demastered", which will be released in August this year, for PC and console players, the recent movie's linkage mobile game "The Mummy Dark Universe Stories" (Mummy Dark Universe Stories) is also on the dual platform, please follow the author to take a look at it.
The new mobile game is set in a movie version, in which the player needs to play the protagonist of the movie version, Nick Morton, you need to go through the world to find various evidence, in order to decode a magic book from ancient times, and only it can completely eliminate the curse of the demon. Of course, this road can not be smooth, the horror of the tomb exploration, the pursuit of evil forces are threatening your life. And with the deepening of exploration, players will also follow the protagonist to understand the past and present lives of the mummified empress, in short, the game plot is different from the movie, but at the same time there is a connection, even if you have not seen this film, then simply experiencing the game will not have much impact.
In order to distinguish from the previous works of the same type, the development team Night School Studio this time the game in the form of comics presented, the game almost no background of this concept, some are just a good restoration of the strength of the "comic" style characters, of course, in addition to the protagonist, the game appears a variety of "miscellaneous fish" also has a certain role, if you are a fan of the united states, then relative to the game's style of painting and storyboard design should be very clear, In short, this work is quite good in terms of appearance.
The game in terms of gameplay will be a clever combination of text adventure and interactive puzzle solving, players need to make a "not necessarily correct, but most in line with the heart" decision according to the surrounding environment and their own heart in the entire experience process, of course, the game itself will not design any optimal options, basically what answer you choose, then the subsequent character psychology, events will also change. The ups and downs of the script design require players to pay special attention to each link, and even the subtle changes of the different characters, because with the spread of the plot and some difficult choices made by the players before, these friends are likely to completely oppose us.
In addition to the choice of text based on the game's plot, the game includes a certain amount of puzzle gameplay, such as we need to find the corresponding sign against the wall, and only in this way can we successfully trigger the trap. Compared with the usual puzzle games, this game is relatively low in difficulty, but this is also relatively easy to understand, after all, the core gameplay of the game is not here, and the puzzles involved here are just icing on the cake.
"Mummy Dark Universe Story" in the content of the chapter-based, the later chapters will automatically inherit the choice of the previous chapters, each chapter will be in the beginning to give the player some tasks, if we can complete these tasks in the game experience process, then you can get the corresponding rewards, the reward is generally a similar to the movie ticket in-game currency, through this currency we can unlock the subsequent launch of the game chapters, so that we can do free play through the game.
In summary, "Mummy Dark Universe Story" is a typical movie-derived game, which has all the characteristics of the "shadow-game linkage" mobile game, the sound and picture performance is relatively excellent, and the plot is close to the movie plot, which are the shining points of the game. Of course, it also has shortcomings, such as the overall feeling of the game is a bit delayed, and sometimes it is obvious that a lot of plot can be added to pave the way, which affects the experience of the work. Therefore, as a work that kills time, this work can be experienced.
