“MAN THESE BANANAS ARE GOOD!”,
Bonus points for any who caught the Brian Regan reference in the title…
In the past five or so years, two previously dormant video game icons have made major comebacks, starring in some of the best 2-D platformers in decades. Of course, I’m referring to Donkey Kong and Rayman. Both characters offer games that are about as awesome as 2-D platformers get these days, and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is yet another modern DK masterpiece to add to the list (Rayman Legends was also stellar). This game is simply stupendous, in so many ways. Not only is it filled with nostalgia for the DK of my childhood, but it also adds a ton of new ideas that are not only cool for DK, but for 2-D platformers in general. This game is a real treat. Once again, Retro Studios has nailed it, and this game actually soothes some of the sting I felt at learning they were not developing a new Metroid game (Not gonna lie, it still hurts a little). If you don’t like somewhat longer, detailed reviews, then give this one a pass. You’ve been warned.
The story in DKCTF is very unique for the series. Once again, Retro has created an all-new villainous force for DK and co. to face called the “Snowmads,” a ragtag army of arctic animals with a major Norse/viking theme. They rudely crash DK’s birthday party with an invasion, driving all our favorite Kongs away from their home island while also redecorating it to suit their snowy tastes. Needless to say, they brought a polar vortex of their own, transforming DK’s island paradise to a frigid arctic playground. Thus, DK and three of his closest companions begin a trek across several unique and totally different islands to take back his home. The premise is cool and all (Like that pun? No…? I’ll see myself out…), but like all platformers, the story is there to introduce the platforming action and then take a step back to let the gameplay shine, and it does so well here.
The graphics in DKCTF are, putting it bluntly, drop-dead gorgeous. There’s so much vibrant color and imagination in this game, it’s fantastic! Because you’ll be traveling across several different islands, you’ll be treated to a huge variety in locales, all of which look awesome. From DK’s frozen island, to an island filled with flaming boars, massive mountain crags, and Viking Owl villages, all in a beautiful autumn, to an island strewn with the wreckage of countless boats, planes, and ships (including Samus’ starship cleverly hidden in the canopy in one level, which is awesome!), to a jungle during harvest time filled with jelly, rivers of juice, and other food items (Yummy), there’s no shortage of interesting level themes. Remember the beautiful silhouette levels from DKCR? They return in full-force here, making some levels look like they’d belong in a sweet art house indie game. Lots of creativity in this game visually, you’ll never be bored. Seriously people, this game is gorgeous, and it runs at a smooth 60 fps which is awesome. The new enemies are also really neat and full of character. While it’s easy to miss the Kremlings, Retro has made up some equally charismatic and iconic villains to replace them, if you ask me. I love the Snowmads. Really, the charm in this game is everywhere. I love how Donkey will sit down and start playing a 3DSXL if left idle. I love the different personalities of the main characters. This game is full of charisma.
The sound design in the game is also fantastic. Lots of nostalgic sound effects return. I also really enjoy the voice actor’s work on DK and the rest of the characters, even if it’s all relegated to shouts, grunts, howls, etc. Best of all, this game sees the return of David Wise, the brilliant composer behind the original Donkey Kong Country trilogy’s incredible music. Remember the unspeakably awesome atmosphere of songs like “Aquatic Ambiance” and “Stickerbrush Symphony?” This game has songs of that caliber (Both of those in addition to other fan favorites actually show up…
