    For the price, this is one hell of an adventure, and the gameplay experience is just about as refined as can be.

    Combining beautiful graphics, fun flying/gliding mechanics, and interactive environmental elements, NyxQuest offers a nice mix of puzzle and platformer that's good clean fun for the whole family.

    NyxQuest is one of the best platformers I have played on any iOS device. It looks and sounds stunning, has a great setting and is generally a joy to play.

    Originally on WiiWare, there are some concessions to the touch screen with virtual buttons occasionally getting in the way of objects you need to move. This is a small price to pay for such a wondrous platformer at a fraction of the price.

    NyxQuest is a fine example of a mobile game that successfully makes the transition from other platforms to reach a wider, and different, audience. It plays like it should have been a game made for touch interfaces from the start, and it's the kind of game that would probably do well on a handheld's downloadable service.

    Great presentation, engaging gameplay, and a decent story. Nyxquest would make a great addition to anyone's iPhone games library.

    A smartly implemented checkpoint system means you'll never restart from the beginning of a stage.

    Regardless of control niggles, NyxQuest is still a must buy, even more so at its introductory price, but it'd be nice to see a future update correct the control based inaccuracies.

    NyxQuest delivers memorable puzzle platforming full of thoughtful brainticklers and leisurely challenge.

    If it weren't for the controls, NyxQuest would be a near perfect platformer.

    Nyx Quest isn't a bad game but its obvious flaws diminish the overall experience. Between an original yet poorly thought out gameplay, a distinct lack of variety, and limited content, we're forced to admit that the potential for fun is seriously undermined.
