Narita Boy is a tribute to the arcades of the 80s, that puts us in the shoes of a digital warrior chosen as the worthy wielder of the Techno-Sword, a legendary weapon capable of also becoming a laser weapon or a shotgun. A game that will also have a visual section that will refer to the arcade machines of the 80s.

Studio Koba wanted to develop a techno story resorting to side scrolling and combat that will face us against all kinds of enemies and final bosses of different classes and powers. All this in a world heavily inspired by other arcade games and 2D platformers that had its peak in the eighties and nineties.

Being a tribute, in Narita Boy we will find a huge amount of references to the pop culture of the time (video games, music …) while we enjoy a deep story full of strange and charismatic characters. All decked out with a beautiful pixel art that will be one of the great assets of the game, along with a soundtrack inspired by the sound of analog synthesizers, and whose main mission will be to help the player travel to another time, to the past.
