Nixy and the Seeds of Doom – HOT NEWS as a ZX Spectrum hit has finally been released for the Commodore 64!

In 2019 we did a big review of the ZX Spectrum game Nixy and the Seeds of Doom, a game which we said was not only very fun and addictive to play, but it had beautifully crafted visuals. So why is this game getting a mention again on IRN? Well if you didn’t get the chance to play this game back then or the more recent C64 version (Nixy the Glade Sprite) which is also of high quality, you’ll be pleased to know that Ali Pouladi, Andy Johns and Kamil Wolnikowski has released the hit game of Nixy and the Seeds of Doom over to the Commodore 64!

Here is the latest from the website “Join Nixy once again as she embarks on a new quest to find the source of the corruption threatening her home in the Glade. Explore mysterious caverns and crumbling castle ruins while avoiding ghouls, knights and other obstacles as she searches for clues and allies to aid her in her quest! Nixy’s adventures will take her across the Glade, up to the castle towers and down below the hidden caverns. Can you help her save her home once again?”
