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!

Fun little platformer
Had this on PS5 already but I held off buying the PC version since it had Denuvo. Really happy that they not only removed Denuvo, but also brought the game to GOG making it completely DRM free :) It’s a really fun Donkey Kong Country style game but it also has elements from the Crash Bandicoot games as well.

Nice enough mascot platformer
This game tries very hard to be something you've played and enjoyed before. It looks and somewhat plays like Donkey Kong Country It has something that looks suspiciously like the Lums from Rayman Origins/Legends, and secrets hidden in the same way. It has areas which go 3D like Crash Bandicoot. It has a lovable idiot main character like too many of them were trying to be. Bright and colourful, if you liked the sound of the above you're likely to like this game. However, the controls are a bit floaty and occasionally means you'll miss jumping on enemies because you go just a bit too far. Simlarly there's a slight bit of jankiness to the animations which mean things will pop in and out of a pose noticeably. To beat it I took around 8 hours going for as many secrets as I could. That leaves the secret world, which will require secret keys found in the main game to unlock levels in. And to get to the end of that you'll need every gemstone in the entire game. That might be a turnoff for you if you're the kind who MUST finish all content. For me, I'll likely chip away at collecting things for a while yet. The game is quite enjoyable. Consider this game if you're itching for a cute not too hard slightly janky mascot platformer.

the EULA is a doozy
yes i didn't play it, as it wont allow me to play the game unless i accept the EULA and there is a number of gripes with it, the worst being that they use data from your computer, worded in a fashion that means My.Games can use ANY data on your computer, and with ANY third party. it's an insanely long read, particularly for a single player/co-op title.

We want to be Nintendo
A decent DKCR clone. I wish they would have forged their own path a bit more. The part that really made me role my eyes was the bonus stage, running around on 8-bit art of the character. Directly taken from Mario 3D World. The art work is gorgeous and creative, while the gameplay is creatively bankrupt. But at least they're ripping off one of the best, Retro Studios. The only negative I really have is the floaty controls. Sometimes they play a smoothing animation and other times it snaps to the new animation causing inconsistency in player movement. It's not terrible, but it'll lead to a few unfair deaths. For some reason the devs seem to hate PC gamers. The PC version released months after consoles, yet they still saw the need for excessive DRM. They obviously got over that since we now have a DRM free version on GOG. However, damage was already done. I know plenty of people who avoided this game because of Denuvo and have since forgotten about Nikoderiko. Hopefully the devs learn from their mistake.

Worth a try
I bought this game to enjoy with my three kids and have played the game exclusively using the co-op function. Pros: Nice character design Good/engaging level design All three of my kids (ages 3-5) absolutely love this game a.k.a. It is very child friendly. Cons: The writing is the weakest part of the game. It suffers from stereotypically bad millennial writing and most of the lines are just ripped out of movies (but done in a very lame way). The multiplayer works but is very rough around the edges. The camera will often start following the wrong person instead of whoever is in the lead and it doesn't zoom out to accommodate multiple people playing. Because the camera doesn't zoom out the players must keep closely together or they will constantly have their character thrown off screen and killed. Despite a couple of short fallings I think this is a very solid game and I have no problem recommending it.
