Wonder Boy in Monster World
Genre: adventure - platform
Publisher: SegaTectoyBR
Year: 1992
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Super slow movement. Slightly slippery controls. Attacks have a limited range although you can purchase new weapons in shops. Plays a bit like a side scroller Zelda game. You spend a lot of time farming money from enemies which respawn almost immediately. Lots of platforming and light puzzles which mostly involve talking to the right person who tells you what to do next. Seems pretty linear.
Level Design Score: 4
Level Design Notes:
It's a typical hack and slash platformer. The levels have strange gates. I got lost almost immediately and used a guide to progress. That said, each area is distinct and fun to visit, even if the gameplay mechanics don't vary or develop much.
Theme Score: 4
Theme Notes:
Super cute. Nauseatingly cute, even. The plot is paper thin but the game's cuteness is inviting despite the simple gameplay.
Art Style Score: 4
Art Style Notes:
Again, super duper cute. It's incredibly simple with almost not special effects but the world is bright, colorful, and warm. Basically it's the opposite of nearly everything else on the Genesis.
Audio Score: 4
Audio Notes:
Fun, silly music.
Overall Score: 70
