Product Description


Haha! Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a Fantastic adventure you don't want to miss out on! In this game, Donkey Kong and his friends take on the evil Snowmads who have frozen their island. You can play as Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, and even Cranky Kong, each with their unique abilities.

Historical Context


Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze originally released in 2014 for the Wii U as a sequel to Donkey Kong Country Returns. The game was praised for its challenging gameplay and stunning graphics. In 2018, the game received a re-release for the Nintendo Switch, introducing a new playable character, Funky Kong, making the game slightly more accessible to new players. The series itself started back in 1994 on the Super Nintendo and has since held a special place in the hearts of Nintendo fans.

Top-tier platforming!
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a sequel to the Wii game Donkey Kong Country Returns. Everything has been significantly improved; level design, controls, difficulty level, music, and graphics. Plus, there are two additional Companion Kongs, Dixie Kong and Cranky Kong.

Donkey Kong Country enhances everything from the already fantastic Donkey Kong Country Returns. This results in a fantastic 2D platformer, undoubtedly the best on the Wii U. Donkey Kong's reputation is definitely not monkey business here!

Platform perfection
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze builds upon Donkey Kong Country Returns and improves it in every way. The graphics are absolutely breathtaking.
There are a lot of details in the background with references to previous Donkey Kong titles, and the backgrounds, enemies, and obstacles look very sharp.
Even the music received an upgrade. The composer of the original Donkey Kong Country games for the Super Nintendo is back and delivers a phenomenal soundtrack. The biggest improvement is the level design. Each level has its own feel and the different islands have their own atmosphere. The levels are all very different with new obstacles everywhere.
Furthermore, you can now play as multiple characters from the Donkey Kong franchise. Diddy Kong is back, but now Cranky and Dixie Kong are also playable, all of which you will need to collect certain items. This game is very challenging if you aim for 100%, but otherwise it's quite doable. There is a lot of content and you can even play the game with two players. It will take a long time before you get tired of this game and for the low price, it is absolutely worth it.

The king of the platform genre!
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a platform game developed by Retro Studios and released for the Wii U in 2014.

Tropical Freeze boasts a visually stunning style, with vibrant and detailed environments. This game is one of the most beautiful on the Wii U for me. The animations are smooth, and the overall presentation contributes to an immersive gaming experience.

The game maintains the traditional platform gameplay of the Donkey Kong Country series while adding new elements. The levels are challenging and require precision and timing to complete. It can be frustrating at times, but it's never unfair. Just be good at the game.

You can choose from various playable characters, including Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, and Cranky Kong. Each character has unique abilities that can be used to overcome different obstacles or reach secret locations to find collectibles. Speaking of which, the collectible puzzle pieces and KONG letters add extra replay value to the game.

The levels in Tropical Freeze vary significantly in theme and style. The game keeps the gameplay fresh by introducing constant changes in the environment and adding new mechanics. This is why this game is the king of the genre. Each level is memorable, something that almost no other platform game manages to achieve.

The divine soundtrack of the game, composed by David Wise, features many catchy tunes that perfectly match the atmosphere of the levels. I could listen to the soundtrack for hours, so many fantastic tracks!

Tropical Freeze offers the option for cooperative multiplayer, allowing you to team up with a friend to complete the levels.

Overall, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is considered a high-quality platform game with appealing visuals, challenging gameplay, and an immersive soundtrack. It is a must-have for fans of the platform genre on the Wii U.

Great sequel!
Tropical Freeze is a fun sequel to Country Returns. It has the same gameplay and similar levels as Country Returns, but it's a real gem. It offers enjoyable original games and introduces new enemies. The controls feel smooth, and you progress nicely through the levels.
The new characters are fun, but they do make the game a lot easier. However, the bosses are still annoying because it's the same thing over and over, and it takes a long time. Overall, a top-notch game!

Very good game, but seems too similar to its predecessor
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a very good game with a solid level design, beautiful music, and a fun atmosphere. It also features Dixie Kong and Cranky Kong in the game, adding extra enjoyment and variety to the Kong family. However, it's a shame that the game seems very similar to its predecessor Donkey Kong Country Returns, making it feel not at all innovative.

Amazing game, long levels, and very challenging to find all items in a level.
Amazing game, the graphics are stunning, the music is beautiful. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze features long levels. Even in the first level, you'll spend about half an hour, and if you want to collect everything, it takes even longer. As you progress in the game, it becomes increasingly difficult, providing a lot of challenges. Highly recommend this game if you enjoy a good challenge and platformers.
