Mickey Mouse returns to Wasteland, a realm of forgotten Disney characters and attractions, where he and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit work to protect the world. On the PC version, players control Mickey while Oswald accompanies him.
Mickey’s brush uses paint to restore objects and thinner to remove them, opening different ways through obstacles and encounters. Oswald’s remote control operates electrical devices, adding another tool for puzzles and exploration.
Progress combines 3D platforming, exploration, side quests, collectibles, and side-scrolling stages inspired by cartoon shorts. Choices can affect routes and some quest outcomes, giving players different ways to tackle challenges.
Players who enjoy the game often describe it as a nostalgic return, and praise Wasteland’s unusual atmosphere, the paint-and-thinner mechanic, and the music and characters. Reviews also repeatedly criticize the PC version for lacking co-op and for relying on Oswald’s AI; crashes, bugs, and awkward controls are other recurring complaints.
In Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, gamers will play as Mickey Mouse and for the first time ever, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Walt Disney’s first cartoon star, in an all-new adventure of creativity and discovery. Created by industry luminary Warren Spector and Disney Interactive’s Junction Point game development studio, Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two returns the franchise through PC. Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two returns Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit to Wasteland, an alternate world filled with 80 years of forgotten Disney characters and theme park attractions. But for the first time, Mickey and Oswald will join forces as true partners – Mickey with his magical paint brush that wields paint and thinner, and Oswald with his powerful remote control that allows him to command electricity. This new gameplay combined with enhanced in-game physics will further enhance the idea that “PlayStyle Matters” – a unique approach to gameplay pioneered by Warren Spector where players dynamically tackle different challenges in order to explore all possibilities and storylines, but with consequences for their chosen actions.
