Nikoderiko: The Magical World Reviews
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 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.

I'm definitely looking forward to whatever they make next which will hopefully be a bit more polished and much less derivative. 🦁
Nikoderiko: The Magical World is a solid game with vibrant graphics, tight controls, and a lot of replay value for those who enjoy collecting items. While it has some drawbacks, such as difficult boss battles and limited accessibility options, it provides a fun and engaging experience, especially for fans of classic action platformers. The game’s levels are well-designed, offering players a sense of freedom and exploration, making it a worthwhile addition to any gamer’s library. Overall the game just struggles to create its own identity.
Nikoderiko: The Magical World offers a fantastic platforming adventure that fans of Donkey Kong Country and Crash Bandicoot are sure to adore. Sure, it isn’t the most original title you’ll play in the genre, but with its wonderfully designed levels, creative variety of gameplay mechanics, and gorgeous visuals, it’s hard not to fall in love with Niko and Luna’s daring escapade.
Although Nikoderiko: The Magical World doesn't quite match the class of its great idols, this playable love letter to the platformer genre is a title that fans can give a chance without hesitation.

Nikoderiko: The Magical World must first of all be appreciated for the courage of wanting to bring an increasingly less covered genre to the foreground, namely the platformer. Unfortunately, in this respect, the guys at VEA Games did not pay due attention to the gameplay mechanics: gliding instead of the double jump and an overly generous sliding attack do not allow the title to rise to higher ratings, while still remaining a experience to give a chance.
