Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World

[b]A very simple platformer.[/b] Nothing in this game is really anything more than simple. Levels for the most part are pretty basic with the exception of the Ice Pyramid. The combat is also simple and consists of basic grounded and ariel attacks. I felt like I could figure the bosses out very quickly. Story was also very simple. The only part I really wasn't pleased with was the visual presentation. While the character models looked good, they were still animated roughly. Some enviorments also look very cheap and plasticy compared to the original version. The thing that saved the game from being mediocre for me was bouncing off of enemies with the downwards air attack. The kill-chains you can get from it really gives the levels a unique flow.

見た目だけでなく仕草もかわいい。ボス戦以外では、どこでもセーブできるのが良い。そんなに難易度は高くないけど、力押しだけでは勝てない仕様です。ラスボスに勝てなかったらランプで街に戻るのも有効です。 　Bボタンが決定なのと、ベースが昔のゲームらしいので各面が無駄に長くなっているのが残念な所。

メガドライブ版未プレイ。ずっとやりたかったゲームでリメイク版が出たので購入しました。 まずアーシャが可愛らしく見ているだけで癒されます。音楽も良いですね。 クリア時間は10時間くらいでサクッとプレイできますので気軽にリラックスしながらできるゲームをお探しの方にはピッタリだと思います。難易度もそこまで高くありません。 クリアしてももう一度プレイしたくなるゲーム。

买这个游戏纯粹是童年补票，完成当年未了的遗憾。 原版是1994年发行在MD上面的一款动作冒险游戏。画风清新、可爱。难度也很低，通关是没啥压力的。 不过我不是太推荐这款游戏，因为这款游戏整体非常平庸，不论是战斗还是解谜，过程犹如白开水一般平淡，敌人AI跟弱智一样，解谜也是非常简单的开机关，反复绕路纯拖时间，宠物佩佩洛克不过就是把主角的能力分出去而已，毫无亮点。 考虑到旧时主机情结，勉强给个好评，游戏荒无聊的时候可以买个来玩。

Having played the original [i]Wonder Boy VI[/i] (not 4, 6) via a translated rom, this is pretty much a remaster of that. Which is a good thing because the original is extremely fun and presents some memorable characters. Asha/Aisha, the Queen, and Blue Pepe (who plays a not-insignificant role in [i]Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom[/i]). The environments are still nicely detailed and the music is oddly relaxing at times. Fans of WB4/5 will also recognize the spirits as the followers that you got in those games. That said, this is kind of the odd game out in the series (not counting the first). From 2 onward, there was a real emphasis on exploration and finding hidden doors and treasures in the world that required some lateral thinking. WB6 deviates from that to be more of a straight-up action platformer with some minor RPG and puzzle elements. There are still hidden life seeds and gold around but a sharp eye will catch those out in the open. The use of armor/bracelets to add a second health bar, along with life seeds for the main one, is also unique to this title; previous ones had you find life hearts. It's not a bad thing per se, those are just curveballs for fans of the previous games. My only complaint, and I have this about the original, is farming for gold. Even with the gold ingots to sell to the rich lady, you'll be running through the outdoor areas of each zone to collect enough to buy the sword, shield, and bracelet upgrades. I would advise going for the shield appropriate to the zone first, since it can negate the attacks of the enemies. Also, you can't sell your old gear off like in the original version; that's a negative IMO.

Asha in Monster World is a charming old-school platforming adventure with great visuals, catchy music, and outstanding presentation. The combat and platforming are simple, but that was fine with me. The real appeal is the easygoing adventure feel. Moving through its colourful themed areas like the volcano, steamworks, ice pyramid, sky temple, and underground cave was consistently charming and relaxing. It never reaches the highs of Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, but I still enjoyed my time with it. It is short, colourful, straightforward, and easy to finish in a sitting or two. My one major complaint is the ice pyramid. That section feels like old game design at its worst with backtracking, annoying statue-order puzzle stuff, and sphinx questions that were more frustrating than clever. I can apprecaite it as a releic of another era, but it was easily a low point. Still, outside of that section, this is a cozy little retro adventure that I am glad I played.

An sich ein schönes Spiel mit liebevoll gestalten Figuren und Grafiken, gutem Soundtrack und Gameplay. Jedenfalls bis man zur Eispyramide kommt. Diese ganzen kryptischen Rätsel dort haben mir das Spiel kaputt gemacht und ich habe genervt aufgegeben.

WARNING THERE IS AN UNPATCHED PC BUG THAT WHEN YOU TRY TO DO THE DOOR SPELLS IN LEVEL 3 WITH A MONITOR SET TO HIGHER THAN 60 HZ IT WILL NOT WORK SO SET YOUR SETTINGS TO 60 HZ FOR THAT SMALL PART OF THE GAME other than that bug it's an overall fun and charming game with cute visuals I heard that the pixel art of the original game is better but I still liked the look of this game regardless. it has some fun combat fun levels but be warned if you are a completionist be aware that there are many points of no return so if you wanna minmax I suggest a guide or simply just replay the game again since it's not too long and you can deff speedrun it.

ドラゴンの罠はリメイクでも楽しめたので購入したが、これは原作が悪いのか？ 30年前なら良くできたゲームと言えるかもしれないけど、オールドファンの人以外は今あえて買ってまでやるほどの物でもない。 自分も敵も攻撃は単調、ボスバトルも単調。シナリオも陳腐。 ボリューム不足だけどもっと続けたいとも思えない。 進行不能バグも放置されたままで、褒められる点が何もなかった。 氷のピラミッドで扉を開けない人へ。 リフレッシュレートを下げても改善されず、解像度を下げると進めるようになったので、困ってる人はグラフィック関係を弄ってみると動くかも。

É um remake de um dos meus jogos favoritos de Mega Drive, e pelo que eu pude ver... é um remake bem competente, praticamente fiel ao jogo original em 90%, tanto que as únicas mudanças são a presença de vozes para os personagens (Asha tem a voz da Jolyne de JoJo) e o fato de poder salvar a qualquer momento, o que "aposentou" o velho que encontramos no caminho (e ele até brinca com isso). É também um dos poucos jogos que eu gosto bastante pelas músicas e aqui eles capricharam, tanto que tem um truquezinho pra colocar as trilhas originais. Entre o remake e original, eu particularmente prefiro o original, mas o remake também é ótimo e é de certa forma bem fácil para quem nunca jogou antes. Dito tudo isso... RECOMENDO!
