Nikoderiko: The Magical World — Director’s Cut

[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.

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.

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...

Покупалась для игры с ребенком, но вдвоем ужасно неудобно играть, особенно ближе к концу игры. Экран следит все время за каким то персонаже, при чем по неизвестно каким правилам. Бывало один прошел чуть вперед, а второй упал и экран следит за падением, а тот что прошел вперед оказывается за пределами экрана и через 3 секунды умирает. В итоге оба умерли. в таких играх, где можно разойтись, нужно разделение экрана. Сюда этого не завезли и это бесит. Нет желания проходить еще раз это мучение. Не советую.

The controls are borderline garbage for the kind of platforming the game wants you to do. It never feels as good as it should. Nevertheless, there is a fun game to be had here if you're a fan of the genre, especially the Donkey Kong series.

Uma grata surpresa para quem curte jogos de plataforma clássicos com coop local. O game mistura cerca de 50% de Donkey Kong, 35% de Crash Bandicoot e 15% de Rayman Legends e faz isso sem esconder suas inspirações. A jogabilidade alterna bem entre estilos: lembra Donkey Kong quando a câmera é lateral (sidescroller) e Crash quando passa para visão por trás ou à frente do personagem, inclusive com aquelas fases clássicas de correr da pedra rolante kkkk. Já a influência de Rayman aparece principalmente nos coletáveis, que são abundantes e até visualmente remetem ao estilo da franquia. No geral, é um jogo divertido e direto ao ponto, que roda MUITO bem no Steam Deck.

A simple, straightforward oldschool platformer with cute characters, nostalgic visuals and awesome soundtrack, definitely inspired heavily by classics of the genre. We need more of these!
