THE NEWZEALAND STORY: Untold Adventure

Il gioco è molto fedele all'originale in termini di level design, storia e caratterizzazione. Alcune cose sono state migliorate, avrete qualche arma in più oltre l'arco ed è stato aggiunto un livello nuovo. Un gioco indubbiamente consigliato a chi ha amato il primo di circa 40 anni fa...ma anche a chi è alla ricerca di un platform d'azione vecchio stampo. Grafica e sonoro deliziosi...hanno saputo rinnovarli ma senza stravolgerne i canoni.

If you go into this expecting a 1:1 remake of the original game, it's probably going to be disappointing. However, I look at this as a fresh take on TNZS, and from that perspective, it's quite fun. The graphics are clean, the audio is good, and it performs well. I do wish they had included an emulated version of the original game as well, but perhaps the developers didn't license that from Taito.

fun charming old skool platforrmer i never played the original

Molto carino, un modo per consentire, a chi non ne ha avuto la possibilità in passato, di recuperare un classico!

If you grew up with the original 1988 arcade classic, you know the deal: it’s a game that lures you in with a cute yellow bird and then proceeds to break your spirit with some of the most challenging platforming in gaming history. For years, I was "50/50" on this series—I loved the vibe, but I could never quite conquer it. After dying more times than I care to admit in this new Steam version, I finally "gave in" to the grind, and I am so glad I did. The NewZealand Story: Untold Adventure is a beautiful, polished love letter to Tiki’s journey that manages to keep that "hard as ever" DNA while making it feel right at home on a modern PC. What Makes This One Special: The Challenge is Real: They haven't watered it down. It still requires precision, quick reflexes, and that "one more try" attitude. Finally beating a level after being stuck feels like a genuine achievement. Stunning Modern Visuals: The 3D-engine-meets-2D-gameplay looks crisp and vibrant. It’s exactly how you remember the game looking in your head, just optimized for 2026 screens. The "Untold" Content: The brand-new fifth stage (Kaikoura) and the colossal Wormageddon boss are fantastic additions that fit perfectly alongside the classic stages. The Vibe: Everything from the commandeering of enemy balloons to the frantic rescue of Phee-Phee is captured perfectly here. If you’re like me and struggled with the original, don’t let the difficulty scare you off this time. This remake gives you the perfect excuse to finally sit down, master the mechanics, and see the adventure through to the end. It's a nostalgic masterpiece that proves some legends never get old—they just get a better frame. Highly Recommended! A huge thank you to the team at Bitobit for letting me do a first impressions video for the game! It was a blast (and a challenge!) to showcase Tiki's return to my audience.

No es el mejor remake del mundo. Por gráficos, usar un motor 3D da fluidez y permite algunos efectos majos, pero se resiente un poco la parte artística. Y en temas jugables, no tiene muchos añadidos. No obstante... El juego sigue siendo muy divertido. Las nuevas físicas nos piden reaprender a jugar y manejar a Tiki, incluso aunque nos conozcamos la recreativa original con los ojos cerrados. Los pocos añadidos, funcionan bien. Jefes con nuevas fases de combate, poder movernos por un mapa que hasta nos indica cuantas "warp" nos quedan por sacar de ese nivel, y el quinto nivel inédito antes del Monte Cook. Sí, se podría haber hecho más. Pero lo que hay es bastante recomendable igualmente. Acción, plataformas, diversidad de niveles y mucho carisma y simpatía.
