In terms of design mechanics, players will come across mailboxes. It should be noted that there are a few ways to both reduce and enhance how tough the game can be. There was a surprising difficulty spike along the way, as many corners of Monoth are filled with enemies and environmental hazards. There is fast travel in the form of biome teleporters, but there aren't a lot of them and they won't take players deep into the heart of their respective territory. After defeating a boss, Mickey and friends had to return back the way they came, which involved approaching hazards slightly differently. What's interesting here is that the trek back could be just as treacherous as the way forward. In this case, they could ride air streams in order to reach elevated areas or glide across long distances. In addition to standard platforming, Mickey and friends need to use parts of each environment to help them traverse. For this demonstration, we were shown part of the snowy biome, specifically Pavonia (Head of the Highness) which extended out into the sky. This journey will take players into the three biomes of Monoth. In their efforts to avert cataclysmic disaster, players must find three missing magical Tomes and defeat the thieves who have absconded with them. The Monoth citizens are facing a world-ending crisis and, having heard of Mickey and company's past heroic exploits, have reached out to them for help. Unfortunately for Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy, this is all a ruse. Players will find themselves on a strange world called Monoth, summoned there with the promise of a grand picnic. For its story, Disney Illusion Island looks to capture much of that spirit complete with an original musical score inspired by Disney's rich history of classic cartoons and theme parks. Jokes and visual gags come a mile a minute.
Those who have watched any of these cartoons on Disney+ or any of Disney's various channels know that these are more madcap and off-the-wall than the famed mascot's golden era. The game wasn't ready for a hands-on demonstration just yet, but Shacknews was still able to visit the Disney campus in Glendale, CA to take a closer look at what Dlala Studios is putting together.ĭisney Illusion Island is styled, both artistically and aesthetically, like a modern day Mickey Mouse short. On the surface, it looks like a platformer inspired by the likes of Rayman and Ori and the Blind Forest. Still, Disney Games surprised fans when a recent Nintendo Direct unveiled a Switch-exclusive adventure starring Mickey Mouse called Disney Illusion Island. Disney has been in the middle of a gaming renaissance in recent years, issuing out major licensing deals and putting out some of its own hits.
