Free the mummies in this dungeon crawler
The Awakening of Mummies is a unique puzzle game where you need to free a number of mummies from the hands of the antagonist, Pharaoh Cléo. In this board game from Virtual Arts Studio, you will need to navigate a series of chambers to open a portal to freedom, while avoiding obstacles that could harm the mummies.
The Awakening of Mummies is quite different from games like Minecraft: Dungeons. Both games have the objective of escaping a dungeon or chamber but the latter title features larger explorable areas, while the former is limited to one space at a time.
An adorable puzzle game
While the idea of an antagonist controlling an army of undead beings can be quite scary, The Awakening of Mummies is surprisingly very cute. It makes use of adorable, 3D cartoon depictions that make the game appropriate for a wide range of audiences. The controls are easy to learn, as well, which makes it great for younger and casual players alike to get the hang of.
For an added challenge, you can only control mummies simultaneously rather than one at a time. This tests your problem-solving skills, as you will need to navigate an obstacle-filled course before you can retrieve the totem that will lead you to freedom. There are various levels for you to go through, with each one increasing in difficulty as you go along.
Another notable feature of this indie title is that it offers support for augmented reality systems. This allows you to place yourself in the game and experience the gameplay from a unique perspective. However, keep in mind that it is highly recommended to make use of a 64-bit processor and operating system to be able to accommodate the game’s high-resolution graphics.
Worth the hefty system requirements
Given that The Awakening of Mummies presents you with a unique depiction of your typical puzzle games, the high system requirements can be considered forgivable. Not only do you get to enjoy bewildering labyrinth-type maps, but you can also marvel at the incredibly adorable art style. With support for augmented reality systems, players can also enjoy the game in a new way.
