Are you a fan of Shovel Knight? How about on MegaMan? If you answered “That” to any of those questions, then you may be entitled to compensation… Wait, no, that’s not right.
If you answered “That”then we have a feeling you will love Bat Boy, an 8-bit action platformer from X PLUS Games that takes everything great from Shovel Knight and Mega Man and packs it all into a neat little package that honestly looks fantastic.
Boot to Power On May 25, 2023, Bat Boy sees you take on the role of the titular hero, the leader of a team of sentai heroes on a mission to rescue your brainwashed allies caught under the deadly spell of the evil dark mage Lord Vicious. You will travel through different themed levels and gain new skills as you fight against tons of enemies and bosses.
Here is a list of key features from X PLUS Games:
– Exciting 2D platform adventure set against nostalgic 8-bit backgrounds.
– Swing, bounce, spin and power through exciting baseball-style combat!
– Explore a vast world of unique and exciting environments, ultimately leading to a showdown with one of Bat Boy’s brainwashed allies!
– Take on the powers of your allies as you free them from Lord Vicious’ influence!
– Magnificent 8-bit visuals, reminiscent of early legendary platformers.
– High-octane chiptunes from Evader Music, composer for Smelter and Super Sami Roll.
– Dozens of enemies, exciting bosses and intriguing companions to meet!
– Make your way to your allies using your baseball bat to take on Lord Vicious’ thugs and solve puzzles!
– Hidden secrets, collectibles, unlockable music and more to find!
We were big fans of the studio’s previous game Smelter, which previously launched in 2021, so we’ve definitely been keeping a close eye on this one.
