First of all, the solo adventure mode which took me around 5 hours to complete, and a co-op mode where you can play with another person to get through levels together. Pikuniku can be broken down into two main modes.
The dialogue is witty and kept me entertained all the way through. Before you know it you will be helping them out, meeting new friends – my favourite are the worms – and having a jolly good time making the world a better place.
Something isn’t right though, and it’s up to you to explore and chat to the inhabitants. The story involves a conspiracy set in a dystopian future where the Sunshine corporation is visiting villages and making the inhabitants rich by dropping money in exchange for resources.
Pikuniku has a solo adventure mode which has a five hour campaign where you control a little red monster with two legs and an oval shaped head. As gaming is my passion, it’s often really nice to be able to play a family-friendly game with your child which isn’t violent, has a simple enough story, and actually has some learning involved, and Pikuniku is one such game.Įasy to pick up and learn, and one you can play with a young child, family member or friend and enjoy. If you are the type who loves to play together, then Pikuniku also has co-op, so you can play through a selection of levels with a friend and work together to beat the challenge the level has set out, the only downside is it’s local only, so if you are billy no mates you’re out of luck.As a parent to a young child, it’s very important to find things you can all do together. For those collectors out there the game also has a bunch of in-game trophies for you to unlock, so there is plenty of replay value for solo players. The visuals in this game are brilliant, the colours are all bright and punchy and the art style and music have a real charm to them that really reminds me of LocoRoco, which is a good company to be in.Īs you venture into the world and explore you will find areas you can’t access right away and you will have to return to later when you collect the relevant items (which I’m guessing was a little nod to the Metroidvania style). There are also items you can buy and dress up in that provide extra abilities (or are simply required to move on). Since Piku is basically just a body and legs and this leads to some funny looking movement mechanics and interesting ways of interacting with the world which the makers have used in interesting ways, leading to some sections being a little bit puzzle/platformer. In order to take part in these challenges, you’ll control Piku, a red long-legged creature who everyone thinks is either odd, dangerous or both, but when they meet him turns out to be quite pleasant. The gameplay is certainly interesting, for instance, not long after starting you have to play a basketball/pong style mini-game and there are even has rhythm style challenges to name a few.
PIKUNIKU SWITCH REVIEW FREE
The story starts out basic enough with a madcap character declaring he will be handing out free money for all your useless junk, but just like real life nothing is free and things are not quite what they seem as you make your way through the world making friends and solving problems. Pikuniku is a fantastic little title on the Nintendo switch that I’d describe mainly as a platformer, but it’s also littered with other gameplay styles that make up challenges within the game.
