Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze

A fresh twist on a classic

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze made its way to the Nintendo Switch in 2018, bringing the beloved platformer to a new generation of players. While the core gameplay remains the same as the Wii U version, the Switch release introduces a few tweaks and upgrades, enhancing the overall experience. Players once again guide Donkey Kong and his friends through challenging levels, fighting against the invading Snowmads to reclaim their homeland from the icy grip of these viking-like foes.

Enhanced for the Switch

The Switch version of Tropical Freeze offers improved visuals, with even more vibrant environments and smoother animations. The upgrade in resolution and frame rate ensures that the game looks better than ever, especially when played in handheld mode. Additionally, the Switch’s unique hybrid design allows players to take the game on the go, giving them the flexibility to play in a variety of settings. The game’s world and levels pop with colour and fluidity, keeping the platforming action feeling as fresh as it did in the original release.

New play options and a challenge for all

A major addition to the Switch version is Funky Kong as a playable character. His special abilities, such as extra hearts and the ability to float, make the game slightly more accessible to newcomers or those who might struggle with the original difficulty. However, for seasoned players, the challenge remains robust, offering plenty of difficult sections to master. Whether you’re playing solo or with a friend in co-op mode, the game provides a rewarding experience for both casual players and platforming veterans alike.
