About
Adventure calls in Nikoderiko: The Magical World - Director's Cut, our love letter to platformers!

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!

Лучшая игра для детей
Bom jogo, lembra donkey kong.
weiß ich direkt nach 30 Minuten das wird ein Hammer Game. Das spielt vereint Donkey Kong Wii / Country / Crashbandicoot / Rare vipes vom feinsten. Schönes movement, cooler Jump and Run. Hoffentlich kommt mehr von diesem Entwickler.
Nikoderiko is simply an absolutely delightful game. It's bursting with character, charm, and fun. It is absolutely strongly inspired by donkey kong country and even crash bandicoot but absolutely in a great way. The platforming is tight, the collectibles and bonus rooms are fun to find, and the music by David Wise is simply fantastic. I love the track that plays when you complete a level. It's very catchy, and the main characters even do a little dance which always made me smile. As far as criticisms, the only thing I would say is that the 3d crash-like sections are pretty shallow and are not nearly as fleshed out as the 2d ones. While the 2d platforming is definitely the main focus, I enjoyed the fact they had the 3d sections every once in a while to shake things up. I just wish there was a little more to them. Overall, the game is terrific. If you love the donkey kong country games, this game stands alongside them strongly in my opinion. The difficulty is balanced and the level design makes great use of the game's mechanics. I can't wait to see what these developers make next!
