Disney Mirrorverse review – a game so great I can’t let it go
In our Disney Mirrorverse review, we dive into why it’s the best Disney game on mobile, despite it’s flawed gacha system and microtransactions
Ever since I was a wee whippersnapper, I’ve always loved Disney. Even now, I have no problem saying that I’m a huge fan of the franchise and many of the IPs found within. In fact, I take great pride in knowing that The Lion King came out the same year that I was born. However, in case it’s of any interest to you, my favourite Disney movie is actually Frozen – this will become relevant later on.
So, with that said, I’m about to dive into what I consider to be one of the best mobile games in a very long time, and it just so happens to have a distinctly Disney twist. Ever since its announcement, I’ve been keen to get my hands on Disney Mirrorverse, and thanks to the lovely people at Kabam, I’ve spent the past few weeks with it, and trust me when I say it’s a must-play for any Disney fan.
Don’t worry. I don’t expect you to just take my word for it without some fighting talk from myself to explain why Disney Mirrorverse is the best Disney mobile game yet. Fortunately, I’m all too happy to dive deep in this review, and lay it all out on the table.
First of all, Disney Mirrorverse is an RPG, which is already a huge plus in my book, given that it’s my favourite genre. The game has surprising depth when it comes to these mechanics, especially since you don’t create your own character. Each hero and villain in the game has access to numerous abilities, traits, and attributes. You can increase these as you level the heroes up through the use of upgrade materials, which come in different types for each class and rank.
Speaking of which, the class system is great, and as you’d expect, each plays a pivotal role on the Disney Mirrorverse battlefield. In the game, after a bit of progression, you can select three characters to fight with. The first class is melee, which are close combat specialists that can bring the pain, and while their health is decent enough, they do require aid. That’s where the tank and support guardians come in. The former, as the name suggests, can withstand a lot of damage and are there to take some of the flak, which in essence reduces the strain put on your melee fighter.
As for the support class, they serve as healers and are most efficient if they keep their distance from your enemies. The fourth and final class, ranger, is also at its best on the opposite end of the battlefield. Rangers are the long-distance warriors, and it’s fair to say that they dish out the highest damage, but their defence stats balance this out.
Each Disney Mirrorverse class has plenty of characters. For example, the melee category features familiar faces such as Mulan, Rapunzel, Ariel, Anna, Scar, Anger, and more, while you can find heroes such as Belle, Tiana, Hiro Hamada, Mickey Mouse, and Mike Wazowski in the support class. Of course, where would the latter be without Sully? Still being shouted at by Roz for not filing his paperwork, that’s where.
Luckily for Mike, Sully is also available as a tank, as is Mr Incredible, Maui, Baloo (he really can give you the bare necessities), and Baymax, to name a few. Then, the notable characters in the ranged class include Elsa, Merida, Maleficent, Goofy, and Buzz Lightyear. Of course, I haven’t mentioned every hero and villain available, as the roster is huge. Still, from the aforementioned selection, you can see that Disney Mirrorverse features many fan-favourite characters – even Elsa and Anna are present, which fills me with joy. Or at least it would, if I had them!
This brings me to one of my gripes with the game, and that’s the gacha system. Yes, I understand that this is a prominent mechanic in most mobile RPGs these days, especially after Genshin Impact propelled the system into the spotlight in a big way. However, you should still have a relatively good chance of getting your hands on the character you want, and pity systems should be in place and clear in their parameters, and I feel this is an area where Disney Mirrorverse is lacking. In my experience, when it came time to pull characters through the use of crystals (more on that in a bit), at no point did either Anna or Elsa pop up in my pulls.
Personally, I feel it’s somewhat disingenuous to have characters featured prominently in the game and then make it near impossible to get them through normal means. Because trust me, when I say I tried, I really tried – I was desperate to add these girls to my team, yet, no matter how many crystals I threw into the portal, I never got them, but I couldn’t let it go, and thus I must complain here.
