Back tracking and replaying aa few levels almost feels mandatory. and Balan runs with this in a really frustrating way… there are so many times youll see a statue out of reach because yo udont have the right character from either a previous section or a future section, an in a game all about collecting as many statues as you can to move on, this can be super annoying…. so the challenge does not come in clearing levels, it comes in hunting these things down… which here lies my biggest issue with balan… its insistence to give you collectables that you cant even reach with that level’s characters… each level youll be finding keys and crystals with different chrcters that will give you new abilities, either an attack, or traversal ability for the majority of the time… some charcters not even being able to jump, so youll be essentially character deck building… you can even bring charactrs from other levels into the next levels.

not even close to a bad game… This is probably one of the weirdest games youll ever play, you chose your haracter in the start and youre basically on the journey to fix the hearts of numerous characters all with their own story of sadness… this ggame will remind you a lot of a Mario game… in each level there are golden statues for you to collect that are required to move onto the next section of the world like a star in a Mario game or any other collectathon. We wish him best of luck in his future endeavors.Balan Wonderworld Really Fun, Really Underated Look, I of all people have the biggest chip on my shoulder when it comes to Balan, Square Balan Wonderworld Really Fun, Really Underated Look, I of all people have the biggest chip on my shoulder when it comes to Balan, Square Enix doesn’t love me and wont send me codes anymore… And even I am baffled at the low metacritic score and IGN calling this game bad… it isn’t. Hopefully Yuji Naka can land on his feet and make something new, as his past experience with Sonic Team brought us gems like NiGHTS Into Dreams and Burning Rangers. What really hurts about this situation is that Naka said in an interview with IGN that “he received permission from the company president to make a full-scale platform game with the condition that it was his ‘one chance’.” If the reports of his departure from Square Enix are true, then it seems the company president was true to his word. It is an unfortunate example of inspiration exceeding innovation, and is borderline unplayable on Switch.” Our own Ricky Berg said of the game in his review that “outside of its design, I struggle to find anything praiseworthy about Wonderworld. The Nintendo Switch version holds a 36 on Metacritic, and some reports put Japanese opening week sales at less than 2,100 copies. Square Enix published Balan Wonderworld, Naka’s original platforming game, to poor reviews and worse sales. Naka’s personal LinkedIn and Facebook pages have been updated to state that his time with Square Enix ended on April 30, 2021, according to. Yuji Naka, the prolific game programmer and designer behind many Sega classics, appears to have left his position with Square Enix following the disappointing performance and reception of his latest title, Balan Wonderworld.
