Critic Reviews for Nikoderiko: The Magical World
Nikoderiko: The Magical World is a wonderfully satisfying platforming experience that borrows and expertly replicates the elements that made classic entries in the genre so beloved. Smart level design, enjoyable gameplay, lots of collectibles, and a killer soundtrack all come together to make this one an easy recommendation if you love DKC.
Nikoderiko: The Magical World looks fantastic, plays brilliantly, and hits all of the right spots.
A remarkable platformer designed for the whole family whose main "sin" is to pay excessive homage to other titles, instead of pursuing a flavor of its own. Still, it's very solid and very beautiful to look at.

Nikoderiko: The Magical World is everything that nostalgic fans of old platformers need to dive back into the memories of yesteryear. It may not be among the most original games of the past decade, given the many similarities to Crash Bandicoot and Donkey Kong, but the care with which the work was created allows it to stand at more than decent levels of harmonious enjoyment.

An interesting, though in places all too challenging platformer for one or two people. The storyline is unlikely to be memorable, but the escape to the back of the board from the dragon - already rather so.

Nikoderiko: The Magical World could be labeled as the son of Donkey Kong Country and Crash Bandicoot, but almost all the experience is based on the Nintendo IP. It's great and it has the same level of quality, but we expected to see more unique ideas and concepts. Also, the Nintendo Switch version is not the ideal way ti play it.

Nikoderiko does things you already know from other games. Only it does them in a worse way. You want a game like that? Play Crash. Play Donkey Kong Country. Play the new Astro Bot, even though it's a different kind of platform game. All of these games are much better and won't frustrate you with stupid bugs or even glitches. If anything stands out here, it's the graphics and the local co-op.

Nikoderiko is a true love letter not only to Donkey Kong Country and Crash Bandicoot, but also to the platformer genre. By mixing the most varied elements present in these games, we are graced with a game that brings a nostalgic and at the same time current experience. Despite having some minor problems and a dull unlockable system, the game is fun and capable of putting a smile on the player's face with each reference. A title recommended for all fans of the genre and that will please both more experienced and novice players.
