Thanks so much for playing Kaze and the Wild Masks and for making this great video! 🐰🙌

6:02 Rayman Legends players: "Hey, I've seen this one before!"

Brazilians simply adore DKC games, Thats when they created this game.

This is way too good to be flying under the radar like this... I hadn't heard about it at all.

The way you talk about games, the tone of your voice, your narrative style, is really unlike any other content creator. It's so authentic and grounded and I just love listening to you talk about games, even ones I'm certain I will never play. You make me really appreciate games I don't even enjoy playing, and encapsulate the idea that a game not being my style doesn't mean it's not a good game.

All your vids, and the content and attitude, so wholesome. lets talk about it.

I'll be honest, I was somewhat skeptical of this one... but you're a guy who really _gets_ the DKCs, those speedrun videos you did really make that clear. So if you've got such high praise for this _as_ a DKC love letter? Then I've got to add it to my list!

All you needed to say was rayman and I was sold

I’ve never heard of this game until now, and now I’m very interested!

Buster Bunny lookin’ a little different

the dkc dream that you need to play is zelda 2

The last time you recommended a game called **name** and the **adjective** **noun** it got me into Ori. Let's see what this one brings!

Thanks for this video! I'd have never know about this game if I hadn't seen this video. I bought the game and have been really having a blast with it.

This game reminds me of Klonoa

I dont even need to watch the vid. Im already convinced. Snoman, youre a legend

Bought this on the recommendation of your tweet a few weeks ago. LOVING it!! And you just made me realise im on the final world - nooooo. SUCH an enjoyable game! I think I quite missed the HEAVY theming of the DKC games. But this is truly a superbly fun game!

donkey kong country + donky kong country reboot + rayman ubiart series = Kaze & The Wild Masks = PERFECTION

You know, first seeing this game being shown off by Alpha Beta Gamer, then Black Mage Benjamin doing a video on this game, and now you doing a video on it makes me really want to get this game.

This is what I love about pixel styled video games when they actually make a good art style and focus more on the gameplay then "Hey, look! This game looks like a SNES game, you have to buy it for nostalgia!" I will definately check this game out.

The flaming pumpkins are inspired by the pumpkins from Silver surfer, fact. Probably.

Looks amazing. Thank you for highlighting it!

As much as I love the Retro DKC games, they never quite scratched the same itch as the Rare DKC games. Which isn't really a complaint. I love that Retro managed to use the same core ingredients but still give their games a distinctive identity. But it still left that itch unscratched. I actually didn't know Kaze was so heavily inspired by DKC before playing it. I blind bought it just because I happened to see its trailer on Reddit right at a moment when I was in the mood for a classic style platformer, and sometimes I randomly buy indie games just to support fellow indies. So as I was playing the first couple levels, I kept going, "Oh hey, that's like in DKC. Oh, that too. Haha, they even have the letters. Hmm, I wonder if you can attack off a ledge and jump out of it in midair? Oh cool, you can! Wait a minute. Is... is this just a DKC game??" Needless to say, it was a pleasant surprise. I've played a lot of retro indie platformers, and this is definitely one of the higher quality ones. I just wish there was more of it, because I beat it 100% in like 5-6 hours. I hope it's a success and the devs get to do a sequel.

It's been such a great DK month so far! Jungle Beat love and then Kaze?! Whew idk how much more I can take!

I had no idea this game existed until now but as a fellow DKC dude I am really liking the look of it! Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

"Sees a cute animal game*: Okay, you have my interest *notices it heavily inspired by DKC*: Okay your getting there *You get to fly like Dixie Kong*: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!!!

Definitely gonna have my eye on this. Also, what you considered Rayman inspirations had me thinking of Crash Bandicoot. That caught me off-guard.

The character desing makes me think that klonoa and dixie kong had a baby and somehow it was a rabbit, the ring thing is pretty much huepow. I kinda like it.

I've seen the trailer for this, but I wanted to make sure it was worth it before buying. And judging by your review, it totally is.

I bought this one and I sure recomend it. Is one of the bests of brazil

Was wondering when you were gonna talk about this one

4:57 That carrot with teeth is the least adorable thing I've ever seen. In the eye of the beholder, etc etc.

You convinced me immediately once I saw it. I had never even heard of this game and can't believe something this polished went under the radar. I was a little shocked at the price, but after seeing it here felt it is justified for something this solid. I caved and had to get it for myself (being a fan of platformers and of course Donkey Kong Country as well) and test the waters. I am really looking forward to trying it out. Haven't had such a reaction to a game in quite a while. Very happy you shared it with us, sir! Thank you.

I hadn't even heard of this one until now. Thanks for sharing!

Wow Kaze really outdid himself in this hack

Had never heard of this game until today. I will definitely check it out!

This game is SO good, been preparing a let's play and doing speedruns of it! It's just so solid for fans of DKC or platformers in general.

When someone is passionate about something... Well, it leaves a mark into the listener. Thank you

Brazilian devs also made Blazing Chrome, Horizon Chase Turbo and recently(?) Savage Halloween. All of them reminded me of snes games but each woth their own special touch.

Sweet, I don't remember how I discovered it, but I've been following this game for what feels like years and forgot that it was about to come out, glad to see it was worth the wait

I had never heard of this game before you made this video, and damn, you completely convinced me to buy it! (not right now though, because I have some real-life stuff getting in the way)

Thank you for taking about this game it went completely under my radar

Good to see your videos again! I enjoy knowing I can count on you to highlight some of the best indie gems.

That "falling down an infinite pit and avoiding obstacles" level seems like an Earthworm Jim reference.

Thanks for this video! This flew right under my radar and might not have heard of this game. I’m a huge DKC fan, and this looks like it’ll scratch that itch.

Never heard of this game before so thanks to you and the youtube algorithm for introducing it to me! Looks like a fantastic platforming romp!

The last time you recommended a game to me was Hades, and now I have like 150 hours played on that, so I will just buy this now, even though I've only watched 2 minutes of this video.

Thus far my favourite DKC experience after the original trilogy has been Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair. It feels more DKC-esque than the actual new dkc games by nintendo.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'm getting this as soon as I get home. Please keep them coming.

Love this one. Coincidentally I have a video on this game going up today as well. Went for all the extra challenges. Only wish there were more levels. Great video!

This really looks like DKC and Rayman, but honestly I see a spot of other big platformers too in some of the aesthetics, though Rayman is also a big influence there! Looks cool!

I'm glad to see how well the final product is. I was able to get into the closed beta demo and thought it was fun but a little wonky, so its good to know it got ironed out and is pretty good.

Brazil showing EVEN MORE it's game development powers!

Thanks for recommending this. I’m really liking it so far, and would have never know about it if it weren’t for your channel.

Thanks for the recommendation! Even just watching your review made it more than apparent that this game carries DKC's DNA, and I mean that in the best way posssible. I immediately wanted to play it. In fact, just after watching the video, I went on to check if the game will get a physical release - and indeed, it will. In just one month, in fact. It took me just a few seconds to decide to preorder it. Can't wait to give it a try!

This game is to Rare's DKC Trilogy what Trouble is to Black Sabbath; A tribute that wears its inspiration on its sleeve, SHAMELESSLY. Yet it's damn good at what it does and has the substance to back it up.

You just convinced me to buy this game. Thanks as always snowman!

Great video, I had to subscribe instantly! Adding Kaze to my wishlist, this game looks awesome!!

I second what the others say, I'm so glad I discovered your channel. I'm particular with gaming channels and, well, everything, but I'm so glad I found this. I love platformers and pretty much everything you talk about

You my friend are extremely amazing at what you do. Downloading now. Happy Gaming!!!

Now in my top 3 favorite pure 2D platformers (meaning no metroidvanias, that's a separate list) alongside Mario World and Rayman Legends.

A game that borrows from DKC & Rayman in all the right ways with it's own unique twists? Sign me up!

Cool! I was looking at this game curiously, but passed on it thinking it was just another platformer. And I mean, technically it kind of is, but DKC was always a special kind of 'another platformer' to me. Now I'm fairly sure I need to check this one out sometime.

thanks for reminding me that I need more jump 'n runs in my life. But I am so rusty now I'll probably struggle with casual mode lol

I picked this game up this morning and have no idea when I’m gonna put it back down.

Just got it last night on Switch for less than 5 dollars on a whim. I did look up a quick review and I thought it would just be a nice platformer. I did not expect a DKC-like that handles BEAUTIFULLY!

never would've even heard about this if you ain't make this video, big ups!

I played the demo for this and loved it. The feel of the movement is insane. I'll be sure to pick it up whenever I can.

Thanks for putting this game on my radar. I still need to play the other DKC-like, Yooka-Laylee Impossible Lair. So having another on the list is good.

Sold. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

So like, I've never liked a single donkey kong country game. But you've convinced me to play Kaze. And if you felt like even a tenth of the joy I'm feeling with that game while playing DKC, I totally get why you love it so much.

Thanks for bringing this game to my attention sir!!

Got this game launch day and was not at all disappointed

This game is incredibly fun. I highly recommend it.

How did I miss this? Dang, going to have to grab this.

Did anyone else read the title and think Kaze Emanuar had just upped his modding skills yet again XD?

This video reminded me of Mark Brown’s most innovative game of the year series of video, which means great video, Snoman!

This game seems pretty good.

Kaze has been in my backlog for quite a while. I just started it and so far...I love it! 👍

Picked it up on Switch today, this looks sooo sweet.

Oh bizarre. I'm glad you made this (haven't watched yet.) I came across it for the first time on eShop release, and was stunned by how it looked so pleasant visually in the sprites and movement. But the level design shown was so basic that I figured my mechanical adult platformer brain wouldnt be able to be stimulated by it. This may be true still but now there's a video full of feels I can listen to!

Tbf that falling level is taken directly from Rayman

I saw this game a while ago and thought it looked interesting, then I found out the developers were Brazilian and added it to my wishlist on steam, and now, after this video, I just went and bought the game already 😆😆

I bought Dicey Dungeons after you recommendation and loved it, now I'm terribly tempted to buy this one too

This is some great timing right there - recently, I've been playing the original DKC trilogy with a friend (well, we gave up on the third one), and it was a lot of fun... that only emphasized to me how little I enjoyed _Returns._ Hearing that _Tropical Freeze_ didn't improve on the Bonus Barrels makes me hesitant to play it, although I'll probably give it a try... but if all else fails, it's good to know that there are other developers that keep the spirit alive!

I saw this game coming out and said "this is gonna be a you need to play video"

This looks awesome!

thanks for recommending this game! I will purchase it for sure!

I know this game is basically DKC4, but the mask mechanics actually remind me quite a bit of the different gargoyle forms from Demon's Crest

Welp I'm sold

Exactly the recommendation I needed!

I rarely Like videos, but this one is a public service. Well done man! Already added to the steam wishlist. Since Yooka Laylee and the impossible Lair, I was "orphan" from a good platformer.

Jazz jackrabbit did the fly-by-ear thing before Dixie used her hair... but they’re all basically (platforming) family :) game looks hella amazing.

Already 100%ed this game. Absolutely wonderful!

Dixie is the best Kong only if you if ignore Funky Mode. So yeah she is the best Kong.

i heard about this game and i'm definitely gonna pick it up

Looks like there's some Rayman insporation in this game too from what I see

Great game indeed, as a fan of the DKC trilogy you feel right at home here! I only wish it was longer...let's see, hopefully there is DLC or a sequel...

Never heard of this game,going to try it out tonight.

Kazes helicopter float acts more like raymans helicopter hair

I’m buying this immediately
