The developers from the Koba studio apparently do not lack self-confidence. Their debut, Narita Boy, tells about itself as a game whose success will engulf the whole world. In the fictional world of a video game, an unnamed developer creates a game of the same name that becomes an instant hit. In an alternative version of our reality, the novelty defines the 1980s in video games, and the cartridges with it are not enough to rest properly on store shelves. However, in the world of the game itself, a mysterious villain wakes up and erases the developer's memories. The task of defeating the villain then falls to you as the protagonist, Narita Boy himself.

Narita Boy is a representative of the metroidvania genre, whose roots go back to the eighties of the last century. The combination of principles from the legendary Metroid and Castlevania series brings a game world in which you will gradually acquire new abilities that will help you reach previously inaccessible parts of the map. However, the relatively popular genre is undergoing a proper retro facelift here. The atmosphere of the eighties radiates from Narita Boy not only thanks to the beautiful pixel art, but also thanks to the stylization of the screen itself into a convex CRT monitor.

Its style is the feature that most distinguishes the game from similar projects. With Narita Boy, you will chop enemies with your trusty techno sword to the sounds of synthwave music. Tell me, what other game can you say this about? Controlling the main character in the later stages of the game is a joy thanks to his extensive range of attacks and defensive maneuvers. So, if you want to reminisce about video game antiquity, or are simply looking for a quality game that can reliably entertain you for a few evenings, be sure to try the bold debut of the developers from the Koba studio.
