Gameplay and premise
Disney Mirrorverse is an action role-playing game. [5] The story takes place in a parallel universe called the "Mirrorverse" where locations from Walt Disney Pictures' films, such as Port Royal from Pirates of the Caribbean and Agrabah from Aladdin , have been transformed by dark and light magic. In the game, a sorcerer version of Mickey Mouse finds the mystical Stellar Mirror, which the Fractured (crystal-like monsters) want to destroy in order to break apart the Mirrorverse. To safeguard the Stellar Mirror, Mickey assembles the Guardians, who are alternate versions of characters from Disney's films and franchises. [6] [7] [8] Guardians are unlocked through "Crystals", with each character having a star-rating that can be increased by obtaining duplicates. [9] Having the option for team-based play allows for various "combos" to utilize the unique strategies and abilities of different characters. [10]
Outside of the main storyline, other game modes include "Alliance Missions"—in which players join an Alliance to compete against other Alliances to obtain rank-based rewards—"Tower of Talents"—in which Players utilize themed teams of Guardians to move through levels to gain advancement items—and "Dangerous Dungeons"—in which players compete against one another in a dynamic dungeon setting to acquire progression items and other special rewards.
