When I have a bit more time, I'll grab this from the Japanese Estore, looks solid! And a bargain for that price.

Why not just wait a few days for the localization?

Gross. So this game looks like hyper light drifter on purpose?

Oh I'd forgotten about this one, decent reviews shall pick it up

It's more like an evolution of Fairune, Drancia Saga and basically all the other games Skipmore has been making since 2003. HLD hardly originated this visual style.

Yea another game like zelda that just shameless rips off HLD :/

I love the model of small games for small price. After seeing reviews, I'm definitely picking this up.

Then I guess it's a good rip off.

How is it a rip off?

Got this game last week from the Japanese eShop. I've beat it with 2 characters and will probably try the 3rd tonight. I really like it. Especially at the price.

Lets bump this thread with my review because the game releases tomorrow: https://lifesimply.rocks/review-kamiko-for-nintendo-switch/

And here is some off-screen speed-running footage I took (in no way perfect, I was a bit slow): https://streamable.com/6gzk8

Bought it from the Japanese eShop when it came out. I really liked Fairune.

Beat it with one character - need to go back and do the other two. It's a really fun little game. Not long at all, but it doesn't need to be. It feels about right. It's a good, fresh little game to play between other games.

Got my Switch today and will be able to download this tomorrow(yes the japanese version is already available but I don't feel like creating a Japanese account just yet) -Hopefully before Amazon ships Zelda which should arrive tomorrow too...

Nintendo World Report - 8/10

If you are looking for a quick game, KAMIKO will absolutely serve will you well. It has all the markings of a great game with entertaining gameplay, sharp visuals and a solid flow. I had fun replaying the four stages and seeing how I could improve over time. That being said, I can easily admit that the game is super short and the levels won't change on future playthroughs. If you have seen the content once, you will know the game inside out. That might a sticking point for some, but the various characters do make it worth your while.

IGN Japan - 8/10

Nice reviews. I'll probably pick this up.

Nintendo Life - 9/10

Stunningly stylish and with an irresistibly kinetic sense of motion, Kamiko is a true gem. It's a quick ride, to be sure, but gorgeous pixel-art visuals, a lush soundtrack and three very different characters with plenty of speedrunning potential make it well worth coming back to. A uniquely appealing, action-packed package for less than the price of a prayer plaque, this is an easy recommendation for any Switch owner.

Here's my review (8/10)

Editing the video made me appreciate the soundtrack just that little bit more, it's amazing!

Amneisac · Apr 30, 2017

Love the price, art, and combat. Hate the key-carrying gameplay.

I don't hate it but it does contradict the speed of the game and enemies can get in the way too often.

Is this currently announced for any other systems? Not port begging, but I'd rather have it in my X1 than my Switch

No plans for other systems to my knowledge.

So many great scores. Tempted!

Bedameister · Apr 30, 2017

Saw the trailer on my Switch today and thought "wow this looks neat". Then I saw the 4.99 price and told myself I need to have this. Will give it a shot whenever I have time for it.

For the price it's without a doubt worth a buy. It is very short but it's so fun to play.

Game deserves an OT. Heck, Fairune 1 & 2 deserve OTs!

As the poster above said Cerium made one, he did a damn fine job too.

Indeed. I have missed it. Thanks.

I'm gradually turning into a skipmore cultist.
