Nikoderiko: The Magical World

Nikoderiko: The Magical World is a platforming adventure starring treasure-hunting mongooses Niko and Luna. When Baron Grimbald and his Cobring army seize a magical island, the pair set out across its worlds, running, jumping and riding animal mounts through dangerous levels, collecting treasures and fighting super-sized bosses. You can play alone or with a friend in couch co-op.

Worlds and challenges

The game spans eight worlds, including Snowland’s frosty peaks, the mysterious Magic Wood and the briny depths of Dry Sea. Levels include minecart rides, underwater sections and classic 3D segments, with secret collectibles to find. This Director’s Cut adds new levels, more treasures and new challenges; progress from the original game carries over.

You can choose Easy, Normal or Hard Mode, and use challenge modifiers to change the difficulty. These include mirrored levels and levels where a vindictive crosshair chases you.

Animal mounts

Animal friends found throughout the world can be collected and summoned as mounts. They help you reach new heights and use special attacks against enemies: charge with Boaris the Boar, make lofty leaps with Todd the Toad, ride the waves with Oceanis the Seahorse or go prehistoric with Dino.

Music and voice acting

The soundtrack is composed by David Wise. The game also features full voice acting in French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese and Mandarin Chinese.
