Critic Reviews for Narita Boy
Narita Boy's digital twist on a classic fantasy tale is engrossing if a bit disorientating.
A thoroughly entertaining and highly playable Metroidvania, that goes beyond being a simple retro homage and offers some memorable gameplay twists and storytelling surprises.
Narita Boy has more style than it knows what to do with, and that helps carry it past its gameplay flaws
Narita Boy is a unique game, witch beautiful pixel art, handmade animations and a great level design full of references from the eighties.

Narita Boy is a game that takes such a strong influence from so many past works, it can often feel a bit derivative. However, that doesn’t stop the game from being enjoyable, as there’s plenty of unique challenges to overcome as well as some solid lore-building. It’s gorgeous visual design and soundtrack will be enough to entice anyone familiar with 80s pop culture, and could prove irresistible to those that have a fondness for the era.
Narita Boy is an extremely enjoyable action game with absurd, dreamy and lysergic aestethics.

Narita Boy's difficulty is balanced well enough to offer challenge without frustration, and the combat is sublime. Not to mention it's visually incredible.
If it isn't already clear, Narita Boy is a great indie adventure. It's got satisfyingly slick gameplay, and the visuals are a delight. But perhaps the true star of the show is the stellar electronic soundtrack. Whether it's twinkling ambient tunes or booming synth chords, the music is superb.
