Sɛ wo ne Astro Boy nyinii anaasɛ wodɔ classic anime vibes kɛkɛ a, saa GBA gem yi nnadewa sɛ retro robot-hero te nka. Wofi ase bɔ blasing fa floating platforms ne Astro’s Arm Cannon, na controls no yɛ nwonwa sɛ ɛyɛ mmerɛw ma nsa agoru —no clunky jumps anaasɛ awkward aiming. Sprites no wɔ saa chunky, kɔla afɛfɛde no, na ebinom a boss ntɔkwaw ma nokwarem no ma wususuw mmom sen sɛ wobɛbɔ button-mashing kɛkɛ.

Nea ɛkyeree me a na me ho nyɛ fɛ ne asɛm no mu nsɛm nketenkete a ɛwɔ levels ntam —wɔde nne nyinaa (wɔ Japan kasa mu, ɛda adi sɛ) ne saa aseresɛm nketewa yi mu cutscenes yi. Ɛnyɛ biribi a wobɛhwɛ kwan afi GBA title mu. Atom Heart Mystery no fi ase mmerɛw nanso ɛyɛ nwonwa wɔ ɔkwan a eye sen biara so, te sɛ dedaw-sukuu anime episode a ɔbɔnefo no nyɛ onipa a wubesusuw ho. Me gripe nko ara? Ebinom a platforming nya repetitive sɛ wonyɛ mu biara, nanso jet boots upgrade halfway through fixes saa.

Ɛyɛ saa agodie no mu baako a ɛte sɛ nea akyidifo na wɔyɛɛ no, ma akyidifo —kosi nkɔmmɔbɔ a ɛyɛ corny-but-endearing no so. Sɛ wowɔ soft spot ma Astro anaasɛ wopɛ solid action-platformer kɛkɛ a nipasu wom a, eyi yɛ nea ɛfata sɛ wɔde mfutuma fi GBA no so ma.
