  On a Wing and a Prayer

  By GeekyDad | Review Date: Aug 12, 2009 | WII

  Just wanted to chime in quickly regarding this game because folks really need to take notice of Nyxquest. If you enjoyed LostWinds and are up for something a bit more challenging, you'll really want to seriously consider... Read Full Review

  This is one of the best iOS games on offer!

  By deactivated-581dd8ca87cd8 | Review Date: Mar 01, 2014 | IOS

  NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits is a game that released on iOS, WiiWare and PC in 2009/2010. The main plot is based on the Greek mythology where a boy called Icarus falls for a girl named Nyx. Apparently, it was wrong for Icar... Read Full Review

  NyxQuest plays like many other platforming games with motion controls, but is otherwise decent enough to be worthwhile.

  By Gelugon_baat | Review Date: May 06, 2012 | PC

  The Greek legend of Icarus, who wishes to reach the homes of the gods, is plenty exploitable due to narrative gaps in the fable. Although Icarus' means of reaching the divine abodes of the Olympian gods were described, h... Read Full Review

  NyxQuest is a great 2D puzzle/platformer that uniquely uses the mouse and keyboard.

  By ivory_soul | Review Date: Sep 21, 2011 | PC

  The Good: Challenging platforming/puzzle combo, uniquely uses both the keyboard and mouse, some novel level ideas The Bad: Floaty physics, no upgraded visuals, gets repetitive about 3 levels in, doesn't get better unt... Read Full Review

  This game has some fun and unique platforming challenges but is too short and too easy for it to be memorable.

  By acousticpicker | Review Date: Dec 05, 2010 | PC

  If you really like 2D platforming then you should definitely check out this game. It's not a bad game, but in relation to many other platformers it just doesn't seem that special. It's a decent attempt but if more time... Read Full Review

  Addictive, immersive, just a joy to play

  By elizabethtroubl | Review Date: May 21, 2010 | WII

  NyxQuest:Kindred Spirits is a game that took me by surprise at first glance. Believe me when I tell you this; looking at screenshots or gameplay does it no justice until you actually play it. The levels are cleverly d... Read Full Review

  Great two player simultaneous play

  By WeirDave | Review Date: Dec 30, 2009 | WII

  I purchased this for download and my daughter aged 15 and I played it. It was so addictive and fun to play we couldn't put it down. With a couple of breaks thrown in for good measure, we finished the game in a little und... Read Full Review

  Best Platformer I've played, Period.

  By Ice_Warior87 | Review Date: Sep 04, 2009 | WII

  Story: 7.5/10 A very interesting story, loosly based on Greek myths. Controls: 10/10 all the controls work well, and everything does what you think it would do, no customization though Length: 5/10 a short game... Read Full Review

  Play the cute angel girl in her quest to save her boyfriend from the sun.

  By waZelda | Review Date: Aug 24, 2009 | WII

  This is the kind of game that reminds me why I spend time on GameSpot. If a NyxQuest video hadn't appeared "in the mix" on the Wii page, I would never even have known that this game existed, and it would have been a sham... Read Full Review

  Highly polished, short but satisfying adventure.

  By MrMartinLee | Review Date: Aug 23, 2009 | WII

  Lostwin... ahem, I mean NyxQuest is a gorgeous puzzle platformer that is well worth the purchase price. It is indeed similar to Lostwinds, the first game to appear on WiiWare over a year ago, but has enough unique perso... Read Full Review
