Jeremy Schepper's Reviews
Gameplay is king, as the saying goes. That's the case in probably ninety-nine percent of games. It ultimately doesn't matter what the game looks like or how it sounds; people just want to know how it plays. Then occasionally, this phrase gets turned on its head by some game that is so beautiful or stylish that it almost doesn't matter how it plays. Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap is one of those games.
Bat Boy never outstays its welcome or makes anything feel impossible, as long as you’re willing to think outside of the box in relation to your abilities or just hone your skills to the point of being pixel perfect. If you enjoy some of the greatest platformers that we’ve ever been blessed with, that list of stone cold classics that I have mentioned a couple of times in this review, then do yourself a favor and pick up Bat Boy, as it absolutely knocks it out of the park and into a league of its own.
