Bat Boy

A fun throwback retro platformer with a neat retro anime aesthetic. It's not very long, but it's polished and makes good use of the play space. If you're looking for something snacky it's an easy reccommend. It does a good job at recreating what you remember old games feeling like rather than how they actually were, a strength it shares with games like Shovel Knight and Sonic Mania. I'm going to resist the urge to make baseball puns, so I will not be using the phrase "a home-run" or saying that "it knocks it out of the park" despite the fact it would be easy and very clever. Instead opting to ironically point out I'm not doing that. The game frequently goes on sale and can be found in numerous bundles so if the price seems steep for what is, admittedly, a rather short game consider picking it up that way.

Everything about this game is awesome! I loved the soundtrack so much that I bought it, the level design is on point with some NES-hard spots, and the controls are fun to mess around with. By the end of the game, you will have acquired an assortment of special moves that are all useful in certain situations. I like how you can choose to increase your health if you want, but it is not mandatory so if you are seeking a higher challenge, you can just leave it at the minimum. You can also do with for your manna/special move bar, but I would highly recommend getting more of those every time you are able to purchase them. There are hidden things in every level and some optional challenge levels as well, which is a nice bonus. It seems like a lost classic from the NES era, and it certainly is a hidden gem by today's standards.

全実績解除。最後には少し金策する必要もありますが最初のステージが300弱稼げるので何回か回るだけでOK。 節約してたらそれもいらないかも。 かなり手触りのいいNES風プラットフォームアクションゲーム。 ショベルナイトを連想させますが、こちらは難易度は控えめ。カービィくらいかな。 バットで何かしらにヒットするとジャンプするアクションがキモ。とにかく操作性が良くて動かしてて楽しい。コンプ要素も比較的わかりやすい場所にあるものがほとんど。 欠点が特に見当たらない。強いて言えばエスケープしたときに取得したアイテムが保持されるかどうかは説明が欲しかった。まずメニューの「終了」がステージエスケープなのがわかりにくい。 結論から言うとジェムはボスを倒さないとリセットされる。種やカセットと言った収集アイテムはエスケープしても残る。 サクッと何かプレイしたいときにおすすめ。

Fun little twist on the Shovel Knight.

Muy buen juego, recomendado

Jogo fenomenal inspirado nos clássicos de nes

It gets easier once you get the first boss ability. Don't give up!
