Kaze and the Wild Masks Reviews

great platformer

this game is awsome donkey kong countrey love letter

the fantastic old school platformer in vein of DKC!

People keep saying that this is practically Donkey Kong Country without copyright infrigement. Well, I've never played a single DKC game, but Kaze still immediately felt like home to me. I guess it also reminds me a lot of the 2D Rayman titles. Just like them, it gets really hard really fast - but in a good way! Kaze is an absolute joy to control, she has the perfect weight and bounce to her movement. I didn't bother touching the casual difficulty, and while sometimes I prayed for another checkpoint, the payoff was that once I got that half of a level right, I felt like a freaking GOD! Seriously, the flow to the obstacles in the levels is impeccable! Even though it's not a very long game - I 100%ed it in about 7 hours - with no-hit challenges, time trials and just the right amount of achievements I'll still be coming back to it. I think my only real issue with Kaze and the Wild Masks is the character designs - their shapes are kinda weird, and their faces are in an uncanny point between "almost human" and "cartoon animal" (boy these foreheads are huge!). Aside from that, however, graphics are pretty and engaging. I especially like the enemy visuals and sounds - the way onions scream when defeated is just perfect, and I laughed out loud the first time I jumped off a banana. Music is a bop too, main theme is an instant earworm. Listen, this game may not be for everyone, given how hard it gets. But if you enjoy an oldschool 2D platformer challenge, this is simply a must play!

Very good Donkey Kong Country inspired platformer, decently challenging too which is appreciated. Shame about the 60 fps cap though.

Awesome game with tight gameplay mechanics, incredible animations and meticulous level design!

This is an amazing 2D platformer with delightful music and pixel art. The game is well put together with fun, well designed, and at times challenging levels and bosses. I wish I found this game sooner and would recommend it to any platformer lovers. I hope to see more from the dev team.

Auto-scroll and auto-run sections of the game were not fun. I gave it a shot, but it's not a game for me. The movement was not as smooth as I would have liked. I loved the art style and music this game presented. It is a shame the gameplay was not for me. I am more of a metroidvania fan so that might be why this game did not do it for me.

This game is a hidden gem - very good pixel art with gameplay reminiscent of 90's platformers. It has very good level design and balanced game play. Very polished in all regards.

Really cute and fun platformer. Played on the higher difficulty and it was challenging, even when I wasn't going for the optional collectibles.
