Wii U Critic Reviews

An expansive masterpiece, with amazing controls, stunningly atmospheric music, an intriguing graphical approach and oddball story that keeps players on their toes.

A 2D platformer with a heavy focus on swearing fairies and religious themes should not be this good. That's the game's last contradiction: it really is.

A fantastic game. I thoroughly enjoyed spelunking through the game’s massive world, and even though the story can get lackluster, it does excel when it tackles its religious themes.

Knytt Underground is quite a spectacle with great looking environments and solid gameplay mechanics.

Knytt Underground looks for players with an artistic sensitivity, inviting them to surrender to its inspired environments. It is not meant to challenge your thumbs, it does not want to be a source of stress. Instead, it wants to convey a feeling of relax and adventure, counting on a solid and pleasantly retro gameplay that becomes a call to explore its huge and stunning underground world.

Unless you need to take out your aggression on digital foes while conquering seemingly impossible platforming obstacles, I'd recommend Knytt Underground.

Even thought we think it should have been improved visually, the experience is deep and addictive, with many hours of fun ahead if you want to discover all its secrets.

Knytt Underground is brilliantly-designed 2D platformer that offers a ton of content. Just don't think about the story too much.

Knytt Underground is without a doubt the most unique game on the Wii U eShop.

Inspired by titles like Ico or Journey, Knytt Underground offers a charming system of puzzles like “metroidvania”, although it can be too predictable some times.
