The Comeback of the Crazy Ape

Toki Retrollector's Edition brings back the beloved action-platformer originally released in arcades in 1989, now in a vibrant and hand-drawn remake! This cult classic gets a modern overhaul while retaining its nostalgic charm, making it a must-play for both longtime fans and new players.

Follow Toki, a warrior who lives a peaceful life in the jungle with his beloved Miho, until the cruel voodoo witch Vookimedlo and the wicked demon Bashtar sweep in, abducting Miho and transforming Toki into a hairy, slow, and carefree chimpanzee! Now, our hero must journey through stunning environments filled with grotesque creatures, all in a bid to rescue his beloved.

Rediscover Toki 30 Years Later

Step into Toki's shoes and traverse exquisite landscapes that are teeming with bizarre enemies! You’ll encounter the Maze, the Neptune Lake, the Fire Cave, the Ice Palace, the Dark Jungle, and the Golden Palace, all overrun by minions of Vookimedlo. Rescuing Miho won't be an easy task as some vile creatures, like Boloragog, Rambacha, Mogulvar, Zorzamoth, and Bashtar, will do whatever it takes to stop you!

Prepare to embrace your combat skills and utilize Toki's unique abilities for survival. Fortunately, Toki can walk, jump, swim, climb, and, most surprisingly, spit! Yes, it's his cleverly used saliva that helps Toki eliminate foes along the way.

Experience Legendary Difficulty from Gaming's Golden Age

Do you remember the thrill of arcade gaming? 'Insert coin' and tackle the challenging levels time and again! If arcades tore a hole in your pockets, it's time to redeem yourself by playing Toki under more comfortable circumstances while still testing your skills—because the gameplay remains demanding! Are you ready to chase that high score?

For newcomers, the game features a slightly easier mode so you can appreciate Toki's adventure without getting completely overwhelmed.

A True Remake Crafted with Mastery

This remake is entirely hand-drawn by the talented Philippe Dessoly, known for his work in famous mangas like Albator and Goldorak, as well as in comics and other video games. Philippe previously worked on the Amiga version of Toki back in 1991 and also illustrated the game Mr. Nutz (1992). His unique artistic style brings Toki back more beautifully and crazily than ever!

The music is fully reorchestrated by composer Raphaël Gesqua, who offers an auditory experience that perfectly balances retro and modern vibes. Having composed music for around a hundred video games, Raphaël promises a vibrant soundtrack for your adventure.

On a technical level, this outstanding experience is attributed to the efforts of Pierre Adane, who has a track record with titles like Mr. Nutz (1992) and Tennis Top Spin (2003).
