IGN

A challenge worth taking on. It's fun to look at, fun to play, and it's even fun to call someone you feel might be a bit smarter than you and drag them over to look at a tricky part.

Cheat Code Central

Nikopol is a concise, smoothly flowing sci-fi adventure that offers plenty of challenge for the old school crowd and a more pleasantly streamlined and updated approach to the genre for anyone who’s been longing for something a little different.

GameZone

This is an adventure game that rises above the crowd in terms of great story and immersive gameplay elements. There is just the right mix of puzzles and dialogue, plus lots of action. The atmosphere is fitting, and the animation nicely done.

Multiplayer.it

Nikopol has a great storyline, full of twists and turns and very faithful to the style and the art of Enki Bilal. Unfortunately as the biggest part of all the graphic adventures there's no replay value, and this problem is particularly important because the game is a little bit short.

Nikopol is a remarkable graphical adventure with enough details to recommend it to those that are fans of the genre. It might be too complicated, but the the ingenious puzzles and the brilliant and rare mix of relaxed and hysterical atmospheres make it worth a chance.

It is professionally done with good graphics, good voice acting and challenging puzzles.

As long as you go with the flow, soak up the excellent atmosphere and don’t let yourself get too frustrated by some of the puzzles, there’s a pretty enjoyable adventure to be had.

GamingXP

A brave mix of Egyptian mythology, „Blade Runner“ and „The fifth Element“. Brave, but successful! If you let the atmosphere of the game work, you won’t be disappointed. Sadly, the riddles you have to solve in the game aren’t as good as the rest.

Game Over Online

I wouldn’t recommend Nikopol to novice adventure game players, but veterans might find it worthwhile, and it’s certainly better than White Birds Productions’ other current offering, Sinking Island.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)

Good story supported by stylish graphics resembling the world of Blade Runner. Pity the adventure is so short and technical flaws don’t allow a high score. [Nov 2008]

AceGamez

High quality presentation isn't enough to save Nikopol: Secrets of the Immortals from its own shortcomings though and ultimately it isn't going to turn many heads.

GameSpot

Even for a French adventure, Nikopol is awfully surreal.

PC Format

How the hell does such a simple system manage to be this fiddly? [Feb 2009, p.100]

Adventure Gamers

Regardless, the gorgeous look and feel of the game is poorly served by bad design decisions and ultimately fails as an enjoyable experience.

Good graphic, good story, but the game play sucks. Fail to be a game. Most of the puzzle does not make sense, or at least you cannot finish the game without a walktrough. Do not trust the trailer, the game ain't that dynamic at all.

suneel gave it a9:
love ii! i was a bit hesitant reading the reviews, but i took the plunge and i am happy i did. the game is very polished and done professionally. i got stuck trying to solve the puzzle to set the key for the armory. it took me 4 hours, but i did it anyways. i wish the game was longer. need a next version!!

Alexander S gave it a10:
Excellent game! A little short, but very good. Why did this game get bad score? Of course this game will become boring fast if you even can't solve a simple puzzle. Did the reviewers even solve the first chapter? Or did they just skip it and write a bad review because they couldn't solve any of puzzles?

Neal K gave it a2:
Very pretty graphics, really awful gameplay, fiddly and whilst the story is interesting, is extremely short and boring.
