A cute, fun platformer that mimics Crash Bandicoot's gameplay in a way few other games have. Kao himself is such a great mascot, and the game has a big amount of charm to it. There are downsides, such as the tank controls, as well as the vehicle and maze levels. I'm glad I played Kao and may eventually play it again, but the frustrating points do bring it down a tad.
Kao the Kangaroo (2000 re-release) Genre: 3D Platformer / Jump 'n' Run Perspective: 3rd Person My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐🔹 💙Summary (TLDR): This game is a cute little treat within the 3D platformer genre that I reommend giving a try! I grew up with Crash Bandicoot & Spyro the Dragon absolutely loving those two games so finding similar games is always a treat for me. Kao imo isn't on the same level as those two classics but I enjoyed the game for what it is, it's an old gem and brought my platformer-heart a lot of joy! The Positives [*]The levels were fun, especially since there was a bit of everything ranging from Jungles, Icy Areas, Tropical Isles and even Space. A nice variety, it never got boring! [*]It had vehicle levels but actually... it was an enjoyable experience which was a nice surprise since normally devs can't manage to make vehicle-scenarios not dreadful [*]I like that I can go back into the levels to collect the leftover collectibles and that you aren't stressed for missing a coin on a slide; just go back and replay it, it saves everything already collected [*]It was an amazing experience on my Steamdeck! I found myself rather playing this on my Deck than on my PC! It runs very smoothly on it! The “Not So Goods” [*]You have to keep in mind this game is a classic platformer that is 26yrs old and it shows. The controls and camera are a piece of work sometimes but that is just a relic of this game's time. However the Steam-Layout for games that don't officially support controllers worked like a charm here, the one I made for myself made the game so much fun on both the Steamdeck and with a Xbox-Controller so that outdated control scheme problem can be entirely nullified!
¶ A nostalgic game from my childhood. It was pretty hardcore for me back then. Kao is fun, quirky and really nostalgic. I'm glad the game has been on Steam since 2023 and works properly, because finding a working copy of it online is no less hardcore than playing the game itself for me in 2004. ¶ You play as Kao, an Australian kangaroo who's family was captured by a hunter and you must travel through 25 levels to rescue them. ¶ The gameplay is a classic 3D platformer, you collect coins, defeat enemies with boxing gloves, find bonus levels and sometimes use vehicles like hang glider or a motor boat.
