A pirate who is too small wants to go on a pirate voyage with a non-existent ship and his crew and loot treasures.
Zack & Wiki: The Treasure of Barbaros
The protagonist in this game is a young pirate who wants to make a career. His goal is to steal riches with his own pirate ship. To do this, he is looking for the gold-plated, lost body parts of the legendary pirate Barbaros.
Quirky characters
The protagonists in this story are cute and cute. They are above average cute and kept in a comic book style. With them you roam the different scenes, such as jungles, volcanoes and ice landscapes. Your adventure takes you into a haunted world, on a flying ship and a legendary treasure island.
Zack and his crew
Zack is on the road with his crew. He gets tips from the headquarters, a map of the world, can access an archive and use a search function. His partner Wiki, a little monkey, accompanies him everywhere. If you shake the melancholy, Wiki turns into a magic bell.
Wiki the bell
With the monkey bell you can find gold, spirits are exercised and living beings and objects are transformed. Snakes become grappling hooks, frogs become bombs and moles drill. You can use the items in different ways.
The riddles
With the objects you work your way through the level when you reach the treasure chest you long for. Falling monsters and obstacles hinder your path. The level of difficulty of a level is shown at the beginning in the form of stars. Depending on the level of difficulty, the puzzles get more complicated over time. The positive thing is that they are always logical.
Too tricky?
If you get stuck on a puzzle, you can use an internal typing function. Before each level you have the opportunity to buy a help doll that lets you look into its crystal ball, where you can see how it goes on. There is also a helpful sentence.
Co-op
The game can also be played very well in co-op mode. Up to three other players can take part. This takes place in the form of the visualization of problems. For example, a player can mark a route so you know where it's going. The disadvantage is that these players do not actively intervene in the game, but only give passive assistance.
From linear to open
The game starts relatively linearly, but becomes more open towards the end. You don't have to solve all puzzles or defeat all enemies. In order not to make the game too easy, elevators take you further, fall doors hinder you, guards and other pitfalls are waiting for you.
Timing
Some puzzles require the right timing. You do your saber fights in real time and have to react accordingly. Elsewhere, you need to take the wind into account when moving objects. Timing can be crucial at one point or another.
The control
The operation runs through the remote control. It is set up simply and intuitively. Point and click fans will find their way around it very quickly.
Conclusion
This game brings a lot of joy and fun. It is varied, the controls are intuitive, the environment is colorful and colorful. The puzzles are top notch and creative. The story is not great, but this game offers a lot and is a definitive game recommendation for those like the Wii.
