![]() When I beat the boss, the farmer saw one stalk of corn left from his trampled farm which was followed by a dance-off. Then, a boss battle started when a farmer was poisoned and turned into a monster. “You see, there was this world with giant ears of corn. The moment I realized this was a problem was when I verbally tried to explain my experience. Take a look at a farmer facing a tornado. Instead, I’m left still trying to decipher what exactly I just played. The new Balan Wonderworld trailer teases a little bit of one of the games stories. I hoped that when I walked away from the Balan Wonderworld demo, I would of at least had the pleasure of experiencing all of the platforming and odd fun the trailers showcased for months. I was again greeted with a feeling that something epic was going to happen and left munching on a nothing burger.

Things were starting to look more and more promising for this spiritual successor to the Nights franchise. The developers even revealed its opening cinematic. In the months following the initial announcement reveal, Balan Wonderworld received additional trailers that showcased gameplay. On top of that, veteran duo Yuji Naka ( Sonic the Hedgehog) and Naoto Ohshima ( Sonic the Hedgehog, Nights into Dreams) came together for the first time in 20 years to work on the new project. It left me wondering what type of gameplay the entire experience had in store. ![]() The announcement trailer showcased a whimsical world of magic and the right amount of curiosity to have me intrigued. A farmer who fears for his crops in a storm has a world based around agriculture. However, rather than some disaster ripe for tearing apart, Balan Wonderworld feels more like a tragedy as it has a strong visual aesthetic and plenty of ideas that could have worked for a 3D Platformer. It seemed like it could have been one of those stand-out games of the year, for me anyway. By now, Balan Wonderworld’s bad reputation precedes it. It was rich in color and style, accompanied by jazzy tunes and nostalgic platforming feels. ![]() Up to this point, everything surrounding Balan Wonderworld seemed to tick all of the right boxes.
