![]() ![]() Simple puzzle elements are introduced that initially are straightforward enough, but later become more subtle, requiring rooms and areas to be cleared, buttons to be found, and the solution for the correct symbols hidden behind exploration and locked doors.Ĭombat is ramped up in a similar fashion, as once you have retrieved the Techno-Sword, the base enemy, the Zombie, appears. The early part of the game is a tutorial of sorts, teaching you how to navigate the world – jumping and climbing – and recognising what can and cannot be fought. It’s superb world-building, and none of it is a chore. Some just chat about the world around them, others pass on detail on what you have to or go to next, and some tell personal tales of how devastating the recent events have been to them. Still with me? There’s a lot more to it obviously, but how the story unfolds in these conversations and situations with Motherboard and the various inhabitants of the Kingdom, plays a massive part in just how charming and engaging a world has been created here. Our only hope? Narita Boy, the hero that can wield the Techno-Sword, forged with Trichroma beams and the only weapon capable of defeating the Stallion code.

This is made up of three beams from that source code, each with a specific function and occupying a region within the Kingdom and creating entities around them, the Houses of the Trichroma: Yellow House, of the Desert simulation Blue House, of eternal rains and the Blue simulation and finally the most powerful of all and the source of all the issues, Red House.

The Digital Kingdom is in danger, and with the Silent Eclipse weakening their defences, with the return of HIM and the Stallions, a hero is needed. What follows is a side-scrolling, dimension-hopping adventure that pits players - armed with the mythical Techno-Sword, capable of transforming into a shotgun (and also a laser beam) - against "corrupted enemies and hulking bosses to save the electronic synthwave world from the invading Stallions".
