Description
Step into the cleats of Bat Boy, the fearless hero of this retro-styled 2D action platformer, where a twisted interdimensional showdown awaits. The malevolent sorcerer Lord Vicious has seized control of Bat Boy’s teammates—once-valiant sports champions—twisting their minds and forcing them to compete in the Trials of Darkness, a savage gauntlet of athletic combat. Armed only with his trusty bat, Bat Boy must forge an unlikely alliance with Garou, a sharp-tongued crow, and embark on a high-flying quest across hostile, otherworldly realms.
As Bat Boy battles through perilous stages, he’ll confront brainwashed legends like Racket Girl, Shinai Guy, Aquaria, and Mr. Blitzer—heroes corrupted by dark magic. Defeat them not to destroy, but to redeem. With each victory, Bat Boy reclaims their abilities, unlocking new powers to master the terrain, solve baseball-bat-driven puzzles, and challenge even greater foes.
Journey through a sprawling, retro-fueled universe teeming with danger and mystery. Meet eccentric allies, uncover hidden lore, and clash with vicious enemies and monstrous bosses—all set to a pulse-pounding chiptune soundtrack crafted by Evader Music, famed composer of Smelter and Super Sami Roll. Every level brings new challenges, secrets, and adrenaline-fueled action.

An amazing tribute to NES games of old, retaining that long-lost feeling that when games are hard... The problem isn't the game, it's YOU. Great graphics and level design, and some really funny humor put the bow on a
Bat Boy is a bit difficult to judge for me. At its core it is very much a game that imitates the style of old NES action platformers like Mega Man and it does so fairly well. The problem is that it is only competent at
I very much enjoyed my time with this game. Short but sweet. The extra powers were not as utilized as I would have liked, but I had a blast playing it. For the price I definitely recommend it. The demo alone had me
A great throwback to older games but with all the polish you expect from more modern titles. Similar to Shovel Knight in a lot of ways, and there's also a bit of Mega man here too. Wish this game had more reviews, so
