Pikmin 4
Pikmin 4 is a real-time strategy video game released on July 21, 2023 on Nintendo Switch. This is the fourth major work in the “Pikmin” series and the sixth game after “Pikmin 3” launched in 2013. In this game, players experience real-time strategy gameplay and control colorful Pikmin creatures to complete various tasks.
An exciting feature in Pikmin 4 is the ability to customize playable characters, a first for the series. It also introduces two new types of Pikmin: Ice Pikmin and Glowing Pikmin. These new Pikmin species bring unique abilities to the game, adding more depth and strategy to your gameplay.
A notable addition is the “Night Adventure” mode, where players must defend themselves against waves of enemies at night. This adds new challenges and excitement to the Pikmin universe.
In the game’s story, players take on the role of a new member of a rescue team in desperate need of rescuing themselves after their mission to save Captain Olimar fails.
Pikmin 4 received positive reviews from critics, who praised its level design, stunning visuals, captivating music, rich content, and ease of use for new players. However, some critics pointed to the limited multiplayer options and relatively low difficulty as areas that needed improvement. Nonetheless, Pikmin 4 continues to captivate players with its unique combination of strategy, exploration, and lovable Pikmin companions.

Pikmin 4 gameplay
Pikmin 4 is an engaging real-time strategy game that allows players to lead Pikmin creatures through exciting adventures. Players control a miniature character and command Pikmin to explore different environments, fight enemies, collect treasures and solve puzzles.
Each Pikmin type possesses unique abilities; for example, some are resistant to fire, some can navigate underwater, and some are good at lifting objects or handling hazards. Players can easily switch between Pikmin types to suit different challenges.
Pikmin 4 introduces two new Pikmin species: Ice Pikmin, which can withstand freezing conditions and freeze enemies and water, and Glowing Pikmin, which are essential for nighttime exploration. In addition, players can also command their dog partner Oatchi to assist in tasks such as transportation, combat and puzzle solving.
The game allows players to customize their character’s appearance and participate in hub-based activities, including equipment upgrades and enhancing Oatchi’s abilities. Collecting treasures helps obtain Sparklium, an important resource for unlocking new maps.
Caves return from the previous game, allowing players to explore them with different Pikmin squads, while nighttime expeditions add an extra layer of challenge. The game offers single-player and cooperative modes, as well as a competitive multiplayer mode called Dandori Battle.
