  • Summary: [WiiWare; also known as "Icarian: Kindred Spirits"] Experience the awesome story of Nyx, an enigmatic winged girl who must descend from heaven in search of her missing friend, Icarus. Fly over the ruins of ancient Greece and avoid falling into blazing sands or perishing in the claws of cruel harpies and hydras. You will need the help of Zeus and other benevolent gods from Olympus to summon their powers. They will let you cast rays, modify the scenery and control winds as you wish. By making your own wrist movements and pointing to the game screen, you will be able to achieve these and many other feats. Fly, aim and shoot using your Wii Remote™ controller. Play with a friend and maximize your abilities: While one controls Nyx, the other will control the powers from the gods. [Nintendo]… Expand

    A beautiful looking game which is also lots of fun to play. It’s true that it is not a massive game, you should be able to beat it 100% in just 3 hours, but those 3 hours will be completely filled with pure platforming bliss. This is exactly the sort of thing we want to see more of on WiiWare and comes highly recommended to all.

    A cracking download that exemplifies everything great about WiiWare. [Sept 2009, p.94]

    NyxQuest is a very well made and fun platforming game in the style of LostWinds.

    The game could be tightened up in a few places and we'd rather not have the stealth level at all, but if you're after a game that successfully marries old-school platforming with contemporary physics and interface, you could do a lot worse than NyxQuest.

    A fun little plat former. It works in the Wii motion controls in nicely without feeling like it's tacked on or forced down your throat. Passed on the first play through in about 3.5 hours.… Expand

    NyxQuest es un título que atrapa desde el principio por su historia y su estilo gráfico. La mecánica con la que el título se desarrolla es bastante simple, y en ciertos puntos le juega en contra al tornarse repetitiva.… Expand

    More annoying that anything. Difficulty is so-so, puzzles could have been MUCH better. Good OST, okay story, bad gameplay.
