According to review aggregator site Metacritic, Kamiko received "mixed or average" reviews on Switch.[1] According to Circle Entertainment CEO Chris Chau, Kamiko had sold over 110,000 times by July 2017 on the Nintendo Switch.[8] In April 2018, Flyhigh Works announced that the game had sold over 200,000 copies on the Switch.[9] As of June 2019, the title has sold over 250,000 copies on Switch.[10]
Nintendo Life's Morgan Sleeper stated that the game "Nails the feeling of general progression" while praising the gameplay as making up for what little the game has to offer. He also enjoyed the fact that the three playable characters lent "an entirely different flow" to the game which "helped extend the replay value of what is otherwise a very brief experience".[5] Nintendo World Report's Daan Koopman called the game's retro aesthetic "lovely" and its flow "grand". He also noted the games "slower moments" that "never really" dragged the game down. Koopman also disliked the shortness of Kamiko, but felt that it "absolutely owns up" to its brief length.[6]
