I've seen it described as like the 16-bit Donkey Kong games, but I didn't play those back in the day. I grew up with 16-bit Mega Drive games but I wouldn't consider this like Sonic at all.

The maps are linear with tricky platforming sections and various gimmicks. One hit kills you unless you have a shield (which lets you survive a single hit).

You cannot save in the middle of a zone, just like you couldn't back in the day. I think there's like one checkpoint per map. So, the game calls for memorization and improving your skills; you cannot simply force yourself through the zones via savescumming.

It looks innocent but it's quite difficult.

I think that in mechanics and gameplay, it is completely inspired by the Classic Donkey Kong trilogy, especially 2. But, visually and aesthetically, it reminds me more of Sonic 2 and Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster's Hidden Treasure, from the Mega Drive.

This feels much closer to the Rareware Donkey Kong Country Trilogy on SNES than anything else. It has a very similar sense of flow, challenging level design, two bonus rooms in every level that contribute towards 100%, four KAZE letters in every level that unlock concept art and collectable gems which, instead of giving you a 1-UP (this game has infinite lives), reward you with a crystal for that level if you collect at least 100 in a single run of the level.

Even the move set feels like you're playing as Dixie Kong for the whole game, right down to the helicopter glide ability.

Just bought the game. Its pretty fun!

But it also reminds me that I'm terrible at platformers lmfao. I feel like a games journalist

Whats the feel of this game?
Answer:

If you don't like torturing yourself, then don't buy this game under any circumstances. Don't repeat my mistake!

It is Donkey Kong Country 4, the game is not that hard, I have completed it 100% right now, for those complaining "git good"...

The slot profile says 100%, I collected all the KAZE coins, 2 green shards and the 100 pink crystals, right now I beated the speedrunner achievment within 2 hours (I did 1:20 hours) I won't do the other achievments I am not an achievment collector but the speedrunner achievment seemed a fun challenge.

I loved the game and I hope you do too! See ya!

No way. I did it with one try. We can die here and use chekpoints later. My time 1:27.
Problem - some levels with NO DAMAGE award. Some levels in 4 world - really ultra ret*rded. Bad game

If you think these achievements are hard, never go near Crash Bandiccot 4 and Yooka Laylee the Impossible Lair just to mention a few...

WoW all achievments DONE, what a ride 11/10

Yeah, but it was disgusting. "No damage" in ALL levels (even in last boss) was unnecessary
