Disney Mirrorverse takes classic characters in a darker direction. Alternate-reality versions of these screen icons have to team up face a “dark, unrelenting threat.”
The free-to-play action team-based action RPG debuted Thursday in the App Store.
Disney Mirrorverse targets an older audience
The House of Mouse offers plenty of games, but these are typically for a younger audience. Disney Mirrorverse aims higher – it’s for ages 12 and up.
The game invites players to “enter a divergent universe featuring Disney and Pixar characters that have been amplified and empowered to defend against a dark, unrelenting threat.” That’s not Donald Duck Learns about Fractions.
Players looking for a fighter can be “an armored-up Sulley,” in the developer’s words. Or choose “the ultimate personal-battle companion Baymax.” And don’t assume the only options are traditional heroes. The “vengeful draconic mage Maleficient” is a playable character.
In the game, “players unite teams of powerful Guardians to battle together through an ever-evolving narrative of epic quests to defeat the Fractured forces seeking to shatter the Mirrorverse,” according to Disney.
A trailer gives background and demos some of the action:

Disney Mirrorverse is available now for iPhone and iPad in the App Store. (There’s also an Android version.) While the game is free to download and play, Disney offers in-app purchases that range in price from 99 cents to $24.99.
It was created by Kabam in collaboration with Disney and Pixar Games.
