Finished the game the other day. Like my other post, this isn’t a review or a declaration. Just chatting about games I’m playing and posting some thoughts.
Overall I had a good time with it. Liked the music, the art choices, and the gameplay. I don’t think it does anything revolutionary but it does everything well. Almost gives off Deep Rock Galactic vibes with the digging and the gold.
The voice acting bugged me less when I swapped to Japanese which I can’t understand. English voice actors were fine and all, the game just has very Japanese feeling dialog.
Glad to have played it, had fun and got some 500-600 bananas. Heck, I think it’s my first ever completed DK game. I even listen to the sound track at work quite often (gangplank galleon is amazingly catchy). I definitely felt it was a bit overstimulating though, was just tired and sat and listened to the night sounds after beating the final boss. But worth a play imo.


I saw a speedrun of it, which was great
Varied movement and sequence breaks always make for a great speedrun to watch.
It got me interested in the game, but I don’t own consoles.
