Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.43/day in the week to Aug 26 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

[code]No spoilers in this review! Played on a Steamdeck [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45534557/]@MatureContent[/url][/code] This game is the definition of a hidden gem. I had never heard of Nikoderiko before it randomly popped up on my store page a few months back and now after playing it, I am surprised that I had never heard of it before, because it definitely deserves a bigger audience than it currently has. This is a Crash Bandicoot clone, if it is fair to call it that. It is a fun and well animated co-op game with splitscreen support, full voice acting and a pretty good story attached. I spent most of my time in this game solo, but I did try out split screen co-op for a bit with my wife, she however, isn't really into any game that requires too much movement, so we only did about two levels together. The split screen works fine though, but the difficulty is definitely lowered a lot when you can spawn on your friend after you die and avoid going back a checkpoint, but at the same time, the difficulty is also raised a bit when it comes to movement. This is a "faster" platformer that has a lot of sections that rely on speed and timing and this can be challenging to get the “rhythm” of when you both have to move at the same speed, climb and avoid obstacles to not fall behind the visible camera, which is always centered on the player furthest ahead. If you happen to fall too far behind, you die and will have to respawn on your friend to continue. If you like Crash and/or you happen to be looking for a good split-screen game, Nikoderiko might very well be it. I definitely recommend it! ————————————————————————————— [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45534557/]Help me out by following my Curator, I’d really appreciate it!![/url]

ゲーム自体は面白いのですが、106%クリアはおろか100%クリアですらゲーム内のガチャ(被りあり)をコンプする必要があります。ガチャを回すために必要なアイテムを稼ぐためにカスみたいな周回を強要されて不快になったのでオススメしません
Its my favorite genre, but I am struggling to like this game. Its an indy dev, so I am glad I bought it, but they need to tweak the character movement and platforming to be more enjoyable.
Это отличный пример видеоигры, показывающий что нужно делать продукт не в профицитном жанре, а в незанятой нише кооперативных платформеров. Особенно Nikoderiko нужна людям не имеющим консоль Nintendo. В целом добротная разнообразная прыгалка с гибкой настройкой сложности и выверенной продолжительностью. Игра звезд с неба не хватает. Здесь нет приятной инерции и возможности за счет физики выбраться из сложной ситуации. Камера в коопе нормально не масштабируется и почему то следует за отставшим игроком. Минусы вылезают при сравнении с лучшими работами в жанре, а так-то разрабы молодцы. Объективно 75/100 баллов игруха заслуживает.
Did you enjoy Donkey Kong Country? How about Crash Bandikoot? Yes? Okay, this is that, but much prettier. Some call it plagurism, some call it a spiritual successor, some say "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". Either way, this is a platformer collect-a-thon with bright colors, beautiful landscapes, and plenty to do and find along the way. Every level is packed with secrets, mini-games, side paths and more for the discerning treasure hunter. I had a blast playing it. There are some WILD difficulty spikes in the mini-games and in the final boss, but its much the same as it was back in the day--- ---the final boss does subject you to some pretty gnarly RNG, though, so be ready to beat your head against a wall if you really, really want to 100% (or rather, 106%) this one.
Uma grata surpresa! Fãs de jogos de aventura e plataforma no estilo de Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze encontrarão aqui uma experiência divertida e muito bem construída. Como bônus, a trilha sonora ficou a cargo de David Wise, lendário compositor da série Donkey Kong Country, trazendo músicas de altíssima qualidade que complementam perfeitamente a aventura.
Every time one of these DKC-likes come out of the woodwork, I am always once again disappointed. They never get the physics right. There's no weight to these characters. Also, how do you make a platformer and add no feedback for defeating enemies. You don't even get any good bounce off of jumping on them. You don't need a hit stun but just something that feels like I'm actually bouncing around. Dave is also off his game, but I wonder if that's just them asking him to do that DKC thing. He's clearly just going through the motions. Speaking of sound, they just straight up lifted all the sound effects from Retro's DKC games for some reason lol. To be not all negative, the transition from 2D to 3D surprised me and was interesting. It definitely feels better in 3D as a Crash-like, but that's not saying much. As a platformer, it's fine. It's completely serviceable. As a "love letter" to Donkey Kong Country, it completely fails to understand anything beyond Dave Wise music and KONG letters as to why DKC is still beloved. Play the Microids Marsupilami game if you want a game that actually nails the physics and feels good to play.
Неотзывчивое управление портит всё впечатление от игры. А жаль. При такой классной стилистике такое убогое решение с ходом персонажа превращает бодрый платформер просто в убогую дрочь. Не знаю что за умник это продвинул, но передавайте ему привет.
this is the worst co-op game you can ever play with any1, it doesn't have an invite button so you are going to have to play it through steam remote play together the controls are trash sometime you'll have to restart the game because for no reason the player decide out of no where not to move what a waste of money...
While some parts of the game are really beautiful, the artstyle of the game isn't really my thing. They went for a kids cartoon style more than something that goes for a general public I'd say. I feel not many world are that memorable in their environmenents, everything looks a bit samey but the lighing and hsadows look great. The dialogues are kinda cringe, the jokes are more miss than hit, the storyline is vapid. The protagonist is just dumb and greedy. Every NPC that speaks to you uses incomplete sentences, Cro-Magnon style. Nothing much to brag about. The gameplay is tight and responsive while on foot, you can slide and glide, really enjoyable. On the other hand, navigating underwater can be quite frustrating. And the animals you get as companions are very clunky with delayed or angled attacks. You can obviously see a lot of influences from Donkey Kong Country. It's basically a love letter to the these classic platformers with the Niko letters, the bonus barrels and the bonus themselves, the companions in boxes, some boss mechanics, etc. Talking about bosses, a lot of them have interesting mechanics and are pretty cool but most of them are also pretty easy. With David Wise being the composer, you can rest assured that the soundtrack is top of the line. I may have an old computer, but for that kind of game and for the other games I can run, it is kinda badly optimized with hard frame drops and long loading times for some reasons. While it's better than just mediocre, it's not a masterpiece either. It's still enjoyable and if I could give a neutral review, I would, but I will go with a positive one because it's more good than bad in overall. Softly recommended to anyone who really enjoys any kind of platformer.
