Game Profile

NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits tells the awesome story of Nyx, an enigmatic winged girl, who must descend from heaven in search of her missing friend Icarus. Fly over the ruins of ancient Greece and avoid falling into blazing sands or perishing in the claws of cruel harpies and hydras. You’ll need the help of Zeus and other benevolent gods from Olympus to summon their powers.

You control the action with Wii Remote, by using easy, intuitive movements that will enable you to cast rays, modify the scenery and control winds at your wish. Fly, aim and shoot using the new and fullest potential of your Wii Remote. You can also play with a friend and maximise your abilities - while one controls Nyx, the other will control the powers from the Gods.

Will you be a kindred spirit with NyxQuest or a mortal enemy?

WiiWare has introduced us to a lot of talented developers who seem to have sprung out of nowhere. Think of the likes of Gaijin Games with their Bit.Trip series, Ronimo Games with Swords & Soldiers, and of course 2D Boy with the sublime World of Goo..

This game seems to have potential to be another Lost Winds or something.

This looks like it has potential to become the best Wiiware game :)

If this is anything like Kid Icarus (and, of course, is a pretty good game), then this should be awesome.

Me excited! This definately looks to be a cross between kid icarus and lostwinds! It has potential.

Nope, it's just a Lost Winds clone, which is an improvement over Kid Icuras, but still, it's a clone, so I ain't buyin'.

KnucklesSonic8

14. KnucklesSonic8 Canada 07 Mar 2009, 20:26 GMT

I'm not buying either unless I'm convinced otherwise.

LEGEND MARIOID

19. LEGEND MARIOID United Kingdom 09 Apr 2009, 18:18 BST

strong influences from Lost Winds and Kid Icarus eh. Hopefully, it'll turn out good. ONM did a mini play test of it and said it was "lovely" , whatever that means (LOL)

20. Ian Daemon United States 22 May 2009, 13:08 BST

I wonder how much this will play like Klonoa?

TwilightWatcher

21. TwilightWatcher United States 07 Jun 2009, 09:51 BST

It's coming out this summer, eh? Looks like this'll be my 3rd WiiWare game (first was World of Goo, second was LIT).

Nice design and structures

Ionic columns are not supposed to have a frieze with (metope - triglyph). That is for the Doric order. Still fun to see all this Greek antique elements.

24. fallenangel United States 05 Aug 2009, 14:23 BST

could be amazing or could be a flop but looks a 7.5/10

25. JTCPingas09 United States 11 Aug 2009, 06:30 BST

Why isn't this called Icarian Kindred Spirits?

Mama Luigi

26. Mama Luigi Norway 17 Aug 2009, 15:32 BST

Because NyxQuest is a cooler name.

Schrempf11

27. Schrempf11 Spain 21 Aug 2009, 19:00 BST

And by the way, this game has no relationship with Kid Icarus (only the ancient greek environment, which has been perfectly developed).
One of the best things of this game is the great and intelligent use that has been given to the wiimote, unlike many other wii games. A wise combination between nunchuck and wiimote is essential to advance through the game...
