Disney has given life to the most lovable characters on screen, like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, or Winnie the Pooh, teaching us essential lessons about love, friendship, and power, to name a few. Many of today’s biggest pop culture icons are Disney Channel stars. There are several icons you can add to your collection, like Thor, who has incredible cosmic power and annihilates anything in his path. If you want to keep up with Marvel, you need a subscription to Disney Plus. Over the past years, Marvel has worked tirelessly to create movies that connect and tell a bigger story, so catch up at a time that suits you.
For decades, Disney has been making video games, and with the upcoming release of Disney Dreamlight Valley, it might build a strong presence in the realm of video gaming. Disney isn’t just a movie company’ it does everything. It has opened and closed game studios, but there are still gems to be found. If you love Disney, you’ll want to check out this list of games based on iconic characters. You’ll get so immersed in gameplay that you’ll forget about the outside world.
Kingdom Hearts
Kingdom Hearts, a collaboration between Square Enix and Disney, follows the journey of Sora, a teenager from Destiny Islands and nescient heir of outstanding power. Sora is accompanied by Donald Duck (the Wizard) and Goofy (the Knight), who help him stop the Heartless from taking over the universe and find the missing king Mickey. The triad travels between worlds and meets well-known Disney characters like Aladdin and Ariel. The game appeals to fans of either Square’s former games or Disney’s cartoons and leverages a singular real-time combat system with some RPG elements. The Kingdom Hearts series consists of 13 games, and a wide array of related merchandise has been released with the games.
Kingdom Hearts is darker and more emotional than other Disney games, as a wicked force draws on the life energies of several interconnected worlds. Still, it’s a Disney game, and you can reap many benefits of PC gaming, such as ultra-high frame rates or speedy loading times. Kingdom Hearts 4 was announced earlier this year, an unquestionably different affair. Sora can now move quickly through the air while fighting opponents (the ability is called Glide). If you keep playing through the story like normal, you’ll eventually acquire the Glide ability. As you’ll see, the narrative takes a new direction, The Lost Master Arc, which looks into what happened to Sora at the end of the previous game with Xehanort.
Disney Infinity
Disney Infinity includes several characters from the metaverse like Buzz Lightyear, Jack Skellington, Captain Jack Sparrow, Lightning McQueen, and Maleficent. The game is simple and amazing. With all the classic and modern characters in one place, Disney Infinity appeals to both kids and adults. It’s not going to be to everyone’s taste, but it’s very possible for an adult to enjoy this universe populated with toy versions of Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars characters. The gameplay isn’t impressive, but the customization in sandbox mode and the proprietary software make Disney Infinity a real success. A second player can drop in at any time.
Epic Mickey
Epic Mickey is a reinterpretation of the world’s first true animated star, that is, Mickey Mouse. Mickey destroys the world created by Yen Sid for forgotten characters (by accident) and must use his magic paintbrush to save it. The main antagonist of the game is Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, who is unhappy that Mickey steals the spotlight as the mascot of the Disney brand. He often makes sarcastic remarks and displays signs of envy. Epic Mickey is a combination of platforming and modern mechanics (e.g., side-quests), so it lives up to the epic part of its name. Your main weapons are paint and thinner, which can be used to fill and erase parts of the surrounding world.
The game is suitable for players of all ages because it has fantastic graphics and is a lot of fun. Epic Mickey is often scary, but if it weren’t for the storyline, you wouldn’t want to finish the game. There’s nothing resembling real violence, yet the tale has dark and spooky overtones. Let’s not forget about the obscure characters. Loungefly bags & backpacks are a good way to show a little bit of fandom pride without screaming it from the rooftop. You’ll find an assortment of Disney-themed bags and backpacks online; once you’ll dive into the collecting world, you won’t be able to stop.
Guilty Party
Surprisingly, not all of Disney’s games are tied to intellectual property, and Guilty Party, also referred to as Disney’s Guilty Party, is a good illustration of this. As the name clearly suggests, it’s a party game where players have to solve a mystery, in other words, to identify the culprit. Players move through the board game-like setting. One person takes on the role of a member of the Dickens Detective Agency, led by the Commodore. His arch-enemy, Mr Valentine, knows he’s retiring and kidnaps his wife. It’s up to the other players to unmask Valentine. It’s necessary to speak to suspects, unlock their secrets, and search for sparkling clues.
Final Thoughts
In the past years, Disney has been at the forefront of the video game industry, and with so many titles under its belt, it’s challenging to designate a few as the very best released. The list we’ve presented isn’t exhaustive. Disney still makes mobile games, so it’s still close to the process, but it’s out of the big game business. Many people can make the claim that they grew up watching cartoons and playing games, so Disney has taken up a big part of our lives. If you love Disney as much as we do, unleash your inner child and start playing.
The positive effects of video games are numerous, from increased social activity to slowing down the aging process. There’s an overwhelming number of Disney movies, and everyone’s list is going to be different.
