Donkey Kong Bananza Takes Inspiration From Dark Souls and You May Not Have Even Realized It

To date, since its launch, the game Donkey Kong Bananza has received an overwhelmingly positive response. The long-anticipated comeback of the gorilla character has paid off, with gamers warmly welcoming Nintendo’s fresh approach to the series. In this iteration, Donkey Kong traverses voxel-style, breakable landscapes, using his fists to push through various levels. The director of Donkey Kong Bananza mentioned that he drew inspiration from every game in the series, having played each one meticulously to create a consistent experience that fans would appreciate. Interestingly, players have identified one feature that doesn’t stem from the traditional DK games but instead originates from an entirely different franchise.
