Narita Boy is an arcade metroidvania with platformer elements telling the story of a legendary hero locked in a digital world. The game is kept in retro style and it was published by Team17.

Narita Boy is an indie game inspired by the 1980s, which allows us to play the role of a hero locked in a pixelated dimension called Digital Kingdom. Exploring and learning about the expansive world, challenging arcade battles with enemies and bosses and numerous references to pop culture are the main elements of the game developed by Koba Studio and published by Team17, known for such games as The Escapist, Blasphemous and Monster Sanctuary.

Plot

In the alternative 1980s, a console called Narita One is created and the first dedicated game, Narita Boy, is released. Both are extremely popular, so much so that within a few weeks Narita Boy becomes the best-selling game in history, delighting critics and gamers alike. At the same time, the digital and real worlds are merged in the production's binary code, opening the way for Him - a mysterious entity that erases the creator's memories. He also brings hosts of sinister Stallions to the Digital Kingdom world, causing the surveillance programme to activate the Narita Boy protocols. Taking on the role of a digital hero, you will fight a hordes of enemies to save the world.
