Description

Ryosuke isn’t just your regular high-school kid. He and his fellow sports-star friends secretly battle against the evil invading forces of Lord Vicious, hellbent on hosting sinister athletic events for his own amusement! Ryosuke is Bat Boy!

Interdimensional mage Lord Vicious has brainwashed Bat Boy’s fellow teammates in order to participate in the Trials of Darkness, a heinously brutal series of athletic events! It’s up to Bat Boy to team up with one-time villain and mouthy crow Garou, traversing all manner of hostile worlds, to free the minds of his sports-hero teammates before they fall victim to the Trials.

Along the way, Bat Boy will encounter all manner of characters, some allies, most not, as he fights his way to the final confrontation with Lord Vicious.

Barring some mishaps, Bat Boy is a triumph: Solid gameplay that keeps getting better with each stage. It’s a very short game, but it’s a sweet experience that I can definitely recommend to everyone that’s a fan of 2D platformers (and especially Shovel Knight).80Vgames

Bat Boy reminds us of the old games of the nineties, with few hiccups and a lot of reasons to be a must play for nostalgic players.73SpazioGames

Batboy attempts to mimic the success of other retro-styled action platformers like Shovel Knight, The Messenger, and Shantae. Unfortunately, it is a flawed game that is marred by numerous game breaking technical bugs, wildly sporadic difficulty, and uneven mechanics. There are elements of a good game here, and some may be able to look past its problems. However, if you are looking for a polished and satisfying adventure, it is look elsewhere.65KeenGamer

It’s an ode to newer retro games like Shovel Knight and Super Mario. I really like the humor in the writing and appreciate the efforts in design and overall game play. This game is not reinventing the wheel, but it is very fun and for the price is easy to recommend. An action platformer influenced by sports, I like it. it’s not perfect, but definitely is a good time for a solid price.90hulksmash9000
