Nikoderiko: The Magical World - Director’s Cut features all-new levels, more treasures, and new challenges to master in Hard Mode. Any progress from the original game will carry over, too!
When a magical island falls under the evil clutches of Baron Grimbald and his Cobring army, two treasure-hunting mongooses heed the call to adventure. Take Niko and Luna through vibrant 2.5D worlds packed with platforming thrills, super-sized boss fights, minecart rides, underwater odysseys, and even classic 3D segments.
Put your platforming skills to the test as you blaze through colorful levels across eight worlds. Explore the frosty peaks of Snowland, the mysterious Magic Wood, and Dry Sea’s briny depths—and keep an eye out for secret collectibles hidden along the way. Whether you’re a classic platformer fan or just jumping in, there’s something for everyone!
Collect and summon animal friends found throughout the world! Ride them to new heights, or use their special attacks to battle enemies. Charge with Boaris the Boar, hop on Todd the Toad for lofty leaps, rule the waves with Oceanis the Seahorse, or go prehistoric with Dino.
Tailor the game to your skill level! Young fans and platformer newcomers can start with Easy Mode, while Normal Mode offers something to chew on without getting too sweaty. Hard Mode and challenge modifiers will shake things up for true platforming pros. Mirrored levels? Why not! Chased by a vindictive crosshair? You got it! Many more tricky challenges are available to test your platforming mettle. Are you up to the task?
The music of Nikoderiko’s magical world is brought to life by legendary composer David Wise, known for his work on iconic platformer soundtracks. Plug in, turn up the volume, and let these magical melodies take you back to a golden age of platforming!

多くのレビューで語られているような、往年のアクションゲームをリスペクトした要素は見るたびに笑わせてもらっちゃいました。 アクション要素もさることながら、堅めの日本語訳に対していっちょ前にフルボイスになっており、寸劇が多いのも大きな特徴です。 十数時間程度で遊びきる間に喋るキャラクターに愛着が湧いて好きになれる要素があるのも、こういった立ち位置のゲームの醍醐味だと思います。 操作性などの微妙な挙動の違いを考えると、当該のゲームをやり込んでないけどビジュアルやキャラが気になる!という人に特に選んでほしいタイトルの一つです。イージーモードもあります。
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!
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.
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.
Похоже на Crash Bandicoot, шедевр для игры в коопе
Gostei do jogo assim como meus filhos. Queria ele ja ha um tempo pros meninos jogar. Jogo de plataforma com graficos bem bonitos. Jogabilidade boa. Usei no steamdeck lcd em modo solo e coop. Totalmente fluido. Mas o preço é salgado demais, peguei numa promoção. Ótimo para criançada, tudo em português, inclusive a dublagem.
Frustrante. Control impreciso para los que jugamos con cruceta. Visualmente es precioso, y la musica esta genial. Pero es muy frustrante que el control con cruceta sea muy impreciso por culpa de la aceleracion del personaje. A veces solo quieres hacer un ligero ajuste y dando un toquecito al boton se mueve demasiado. Es buen juego, pero si eres como yo de la vieja escuela que prefiere la cruceta para los plataformas, este no es tu juego

Buon gioco, e soprattutto doppiato in italiano, assolutamente da provare! Giocato in coop tira fuori il suo meglio
