I guess it's a way of telling us the next game will be a beat 'em up?Īnyways it's not awful, just frustratingly average for the potential it had. Y es que, desde que se pusiera en marcha su Kickstarter, allá por 2017, la expectación ha ido creciendo a cada nuevo material mostrado. Coming Early 2021Team17 and Studio Koba join forces to present Narita BoyThe side-scrolling mystical techno-tale, which will release early 2021 on Nintendo. No es la primera vez que os hablamos del esperado Narita Boy. The game ends on a high note with a big twist, but just after that you get a powerup called 'Beat 'em up' and the game just ends with a 'To be continued.'. Narita Boy, ópera prima de Studio Koba, llevará su explosión artística a Nintendo Switch a finales de marzo. The final boss is probably the worst in the game, with really poor telegraphy on attacks, and being more of a big damage sponge with bullsh** moves rather than a powerful evil techno-wizard. The backstory of the creator was the only thing I didn't skip, and it was the most enjoyable aspect of the game. About halfway through the game I started skipping every single dialogue because I found it really hard to concentrate on what's being explained (and I'm used to playing old-school RPGs, reading long texts is not a problem for me if they're interesting enough). Seriously, I got into the game hoping for an engaging story about a digital kingdom, which really is my jam, but it's really badly delivered. You'll constantly be talking to NPCs that have the same 5 to 10 appearances, and the dialogue is baffling.

Explore a stunning retro-futuristic dimension, discover the mysteries behind the Techno-sword and ward off the. The other part of the gameplay consists of jumping around, acquiring powerups that can only be used in very specific ways, and add nothing to the game, they're just cool ideas that aren't incorporated in any meaningful way into the gameplay. You are Narita Boy, a legendary hero called upon to defend the Digital Kingdom. In fact, the majority of the bosses are either easy and boring or frustrating in a badly designed way. The main mechanic of the game is activating differently colored 'modes' to kill enemies with that color quicker, but none of the bosses use the mechanic. The combat is serviceable, it works but isn't really engaging. However, Narita Boy is pretty disappointing in most aspects. This runs really smooth on the Switch (I know other versions had some bugs that made certain levels impossible, but I only experienced one minor glitch in my Switch playthrough which made a boss easier, so I didnt mind). Im baffled by all of the negative reviews. I really don't want to be harsh with this game, since it's made by such a small company and comes from Spain (my home country), no less. Update: I finished the game yesterday, and would still give this a solid 9/10.
