Galidor: Defenders of the Outer Dimension is one of those early 2000s GBA games that feels like it got lost in the shuffle. It’s based on that weird Lego-meets-sci-fi TV show, and honestly? The gameplay’s a mixed bag. You run around as this kid who can swap body parts with alien tech mid-fight—sounds cooler than it plays, but there’s something oddly charming about the janky platforming and weird enemy designs.
First few minutes throw you into a clunky tutorial where you’re hopping between dimensions (or at least, what passes for dimensions in 16-bit). The controls take some getting used to—expect to miss jumps until you figure out the timing. But if you grew up with this era of licensed games, there’s nostalgia in the rough edges. Just don’t go in expecting a hidden gem.
Fun fact: The villain’s voice lines sound like someone recorded them in a bathroom. Classic early GBA charm.
