The last combat tool at your disposal was a shot/beam mechanic. Depending on the enemy they might even one-shot you. however, the risk was that those same enemies would hit you harder. Usually this killed those enemies in one or two hits. If you powered up to one of the colors, you would hit enemies of the same color harder. It was an interesting risk and reward mechanic. There is this aura power-up ability you get from the different houses. Ultimately I found it easier to just dodge through enemies and swing at their back. The game gives you an uppercut sword swing attack as well, but the Switch controls just didn’t always input that during battle. You also have a shoulder charge, primarily used for bashing shields away. Though it seemed like if you weren’t right up on the enemy it didn’t usually work. You have a dodge that goes through enemies. Just hack your way through set spawn encounters and jump over the ones you can’t destroy. Narita Boy has some basic side-scrolling controls. As Narita Boy, we are tasked with stopping HIM and restoring the backup memories stored in the computer to the Creator. He uses an army of Stallions, programs linked to the house he has taken over, to try to capture the other two houses in an attempt to rule over the Digital Kingdom. An evil program called HIM has taken over one of the three houses of the Trichromia – a large pillar of the three colours red, blue, and yellow – that balances the Digital Kingdom.Īfter somehow assaulting the guy behind the world, called the Creator, HIM rises from the program that handles junk data to become an evil and twisted program.

By using this new weapon and with the help of the Motherboard, the spiritual leader of the Digital Kingdom, players will face corrupted enemies and hulking bosses to save the electronic synthwave world from the invading Stallions, a group of rogue code bent on forced rule and subjugation. Narita Boy puts players in the shoes of the eponymous digital warrior chosen to wield the Techno-Sword, a legendary weapon capable of defeating fearsome foes in melee or from afar as it instantly transforms into a shotgun or devastating laser beam. Narita Boy is a heart-felt love story to the 1980s, featuring a narrative-driven adventure that takes players to a game inside a game, battling powerful bosses and overcoming puzzles in order to uncover the secrets of the Digital Kingdom and-ultimately-its creator.
