About

Captain Olimar, a man of high vocabulary and the only employee of any merit who works at Hocotate Freight. After all the hard work he goes through, Olimar decides to take an interstellar vacation in his personal ship, the S.S. Dolphin. He puts the ship in auto-pilot. With no real place in mind, Olimar relaxes within the comfort of his ship. Suddenly a meteorite smashes into Olimar's ship, and he is knocked unconscious. Meanwhile, 30 parts of his ship careen towards a seemingly undiscovered planet. Olimar awakes to find his beloved ship in ruins! He must find all 30 (or 25) ship parts with the help of his newfound friends, the Pikmin, in order to get back to his home planet.

AI-powered picks based on gameplay, mechanics & feel

Overlord

Like Pikmin, you command a horde of loyal, if dimwitted, minions to solve environmental puzzles, overwhelm enemies, and gather resources, but with a darker, more comedic twist on the 'evil' protagonist.

85% Match

Starbound

While less focused on direct minion control, Starbound captures the spirit of exploration, resource gathering, and base building on alien worlds, offering a similar blend of adventure and strategic survival.

78% Match

Dungeon Defenders

This game combines tower defense strategy with action RPG elements, where players strategically place defenses and directly engage in combat, offering a blend of planning and real-time action similar to Pikmin's boss fights and enemy encounters.
