Knytt Underground

A 2D platformer with a heavy focus on swearing fairies and religious themes should not be this good. That's the game's last contradiction: it really is.

A fantastic game. I thoroughly enjoyed spelunking through the game’s massive world, and even though the story can get lackluster, it does excel when it tackles its religious themes.

Unless you need to take out your aggression on digital foes while conquering seemingly impossible platforming obstacles, I'd recommend Knytt Underground.

Knytt Underground looks for players with an artistic sensitivity, inviting them to surrender to its inspired environments. It is not meant to challenge your thumbs, it does not want to be a source of stress. Instead, it wants to convey a feeling of relax and adventure, counting on a solid and pleasantly retro gameplay that becomes a call to explore its huge and stunning underground world.

Knytt Underground is quite a spectacle with great looking environments and solid gameplay mechanics.

Even thought we think it should have been improved visually, the experience is deep and addictive, with many hours of fun ahead if you want to discover all its secrets.

Knytt Underground is brilliantly-designed 2D platformer that offers a ton of content. Just don't think about the story too much.

Inspired by titles like Ico or Journey, Knytt Underground offers a charming system of puzzles like “metroidvania”, although it can be too predictable some times.

Knytt Underground is without a doubt the most unique game on the Wii U eShop.

Knytt Underground is an odd game, and certainly a polarizing one, as some will greatly enjoy its ambiance and exploration-heavy gameplay, while others won't be able to overlook its terrible story and dialogue sections.
