Narita Boy ends up more than the sum of its parts, going beyond the source code to deliver a game that should take its place alongside the greatest indies. Its soundtrack is mesmerising, truly special synthwave. The retro world of the Digital Kingdom – its pixelart, design and art direction – are some of the most eye-catchingly beautiful ever committed to code. Narita Boy is a feat of imagination, one of the most conceptually interesting games I’ve ever played. But I did enjoy my time with Narita Boy and it's definitely one to pick up. However Narita Boy does leave you wanting more from its exploration and platforming parts. The emphasis on combat shows with its well worked mechanics and engaging system. It's neo-retro style mixed with religious themes make it unlike anything that's on the market today.
Narita Boy is definitely one of the best looking indie platformers I've ever seen with it's unique art style and captivating music. If you play it, you'll come back to the eighties and you'll enjoy like a child.ĭaily Mirror - Eugene Sowah - 3 / 5 stars Narita Boy is a side-scrolling mystical techno-tale game, with a metroidvania 2D esence and renew system of combat. While the execution of the game itself can sometimes be lacking, it pays enough of an homage to its inspirations and celebration of the era while at the same time creating a visually creative world that could’ve been mistaken as having released a few decades ago.Ĭhicas Gamers - Sandra Sánchez - Spanish - Unscoredĭid you use to spend your time playin' at the arcades? Did you enjoy the music of the 80s with synths and neon lights? Narita Boy is an ode to those afternoos playing at the arcades with your friends while you are listening the hits on the radio. Narita Boy is a surprisingly melancholic experience that puts forth a narrative exploring the power fantasy that video games provide people. The combat is very dynamic and frenetic and will test us in many moments. Its spectacular pixelart leaves us speechless at every moment, added to a fairly elaborate lore that puts us fully into the digital realm. Narita Boy is a true work of art in every sense. 33bits - Rubén Rionegro - Spanish - 90 / 100
