Nikopol isn’t an adventure game that is going to interest everyone. The puzzles are hard as steel and the logic as ungraspable as smoke, which makes progression through the game an often painful affair unless you’re willing to get help from guides. The presentation of the game also feels a little clumsy at points, though it does look good, which means you’re often frustrated with the interface too.

Nikopol’s story is the biggest problem however, with the narrative being poorly explained at the start of the game and continually baffling no matter how much persistence you give it. The whole world of Nikopol feels like an only half-baked mish-mash of other ideas which unfortunately blend about as well as water, oil and lemon sorbet.
