For the price, this is one hell of an adventure, and the gameplay experience is just about as refined as can be. Players in our forums seem to be digging it as well, so pull on your winged sandals and get in there. You need to track down this Icarus guy before the Gods get any angrier, and heaven known we don't want to incur any more of their wrath!

Combining beautiful graphics, fun flying/gliding mechanics, and interactive environmental elements, NyxQuest offers a nice mix of puzzle and platformer that's good clean fun for the whole family.

Originally on WiiWare, there are some concessions to the touch screen with virtual buttons occasionally getting in the way of objects you need to move. This is a small price to pay for such a wondrous platformer at a fraction of the price.

I'm sure the relatively high price for the iOS version of NyxQuest will put off some of the more casual spenders, which is a shame (there is a lite version, if you want to try it out first). NyxQuest is a fine example of a mobile game that successfully makes the transition from other platforms to reach a wider, and different, audience. It plays like it should have been a game made for touch interfaces from the start, and it's the kind of game that would probably do well on a handheld's downloadable service.

NyxQuest is incredibly well made. The levels are designed to always throw something new at you, and the touch controls manipulating the world are very satisfying. The move and jump buttons can sometimes be unresponsive in the heat of the moment, but not to any great detriment. Some also might take issue with the game taking license with Greek mythology, but if God of War can run ram shod over the myths of an ancient people and still be a very enjoyable experience, we should afford NyxQuest the same courtesy.

A smartly implemented checkpoint system means you'll never restart from the beginning of a stage.

Regardless of control niggles, NyxQuest is still a must buy, even more so at its introductory price, but it'd be nice to see a future update correct the control based inaccuracies.

NyxQuest delivers memorable puzzle platforming full of thoughtful brainticklers and leisurely challenge.

If it weren't for the controls, NyxQuest would be a near perfect platformer.

Nyx Quest n'est pas un mauvais jeu, mais ses défauts trop présents le gâchent en partie. Entre un gameplay original mais mal pensé, un manque flagrant de variété et de contenu et de grosses redondances, on est forcé de reconnaitre que le potentiel fun est sérieusement entamé. Heureusement, le jeu se joue bien et la réalisation globale est de qualité.

Cette capacité est bien sûr largement mise à contribution par un level design fin et exigeant, multipliant les pièges, mais également les puzzles. Pour les résoudre, vous pourrez alors compter sur l'autre pouvoir de Nyx : le contrôle de certains objets à distance. D'un doigt, vous pourrez soulever et guider blocs, colonnes et autre boules de feu pour déjouer les pièges tendus. Malgré quelques petits soucis de maniabilité quand il s'agit d'utiliser cette dernière capacité, NyxQuest développe une aventure prenante et bien goupillée, hélas, entre autres, un peu courte (environ trois heures) et facile.
