Nikoderiko is channeling Spyro and Crash Bandicoot with its co-op platforming and epic boss battles
Charming, retro-vibes, platformer debuts in Future Games Show Summer﷽ Showcase
Nikoderiko: The Magical World just got announced at the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Future Games Show Summer Showcase.
Developer VEA G♕ames has absolutely nailed the cartoon-esque platformer vibe that channels the likes of Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot. It's even got David Wise on board for the musical score, whose previous work includes Donkey Kong Country and Battletoads.
But, here, you're playing as a mongoose called Nikoderiko - as the game꧋'s name suggests - going up against an evil snake named Zarus and his gremli🦄n-like minions to find some treasure.
As you explore the magical worlds alluded to by the title, Nikoderiko has all sorts of moves he can use to take out the foes he finds there. In this side-scrolling adventure, he can slide, jump, spin and ground pound, as well picking up items to l💦ob at hisꦓ enemies.
How꧑ever, he can also befrie🐓nd some animal folks that he can ride, like warthogs, giant pink toads, and oversized seahorses, which also give you even more abilities like smashing down walls and better traversing underwater realms.
What's extra fun about Nikoder☂iko is that you can also play in co-op with a friend taking on the role of a female mongoose called Luna.
From the looks of some of the boss battles shown off in the Future Games Show trailer, you may well want a pal by your side as these gators are not messing around.
