Serving as a remake of the first installment, Nightmare in Dreamland is a nice introduction to the Kirby franchise - well that is what I would say if the game wasn't such a dull platforming experience.

Aside from the gorgeous pixel art style and catchy music, it is just mediocre at best and nothing about it truly impresses.

The difficulty spike was also a frustrating mix-up to the gameplay. What started as a seemingly baby's first platformer game abruptly turns into a challenging exercise, resulting in an irritating pacing for the game.

Nightmare in Dreamland doesn't really do much in hooking me into the franchise, instead, it might have just made me realize that I might not like 2D platformer games.
