What is Monster Boy?
A legendary game series returns with an all-new adventure! Monster Boy is a colourful side-scrolling action adventure created in cooperation with Ryuichi Nishizawa, the creator of the Wonder Boy* Monster World* series (* Trademark of SEGA Corporation Japan). Monster Boy is being created to bring back the enjoyment of classic games that shine by simplicity. Pure, exciting gameplay; upbeat music and smooth graphics. You'll need to overcome huge bosses, find hidden passages, discover powerful equipment and use all your wits and skills to remove a powerful curse. Monster Boy can transform into 5 different creatures, each with their own skills and abilities. Take advantage of all the unique powers to open new paths and advance in an epic story. Monster Boy is a love letter to gaming from the 80's and 90's - will you join us and celebrate together with us?
It was also initially pitched on Kickstarter as a sequel to Flying Hamster II, but with the Monster World type of gameplay.
As time moved on, it changed its title and subtitle to settle on this.
It also went through multiple art style over time to finally end with the character sprites in the banner at the top and the following look for the environments.
Finally, here's the latest trailer they've put up back in August, still using the previous set of sprites.
And a gameplay video from gamescom 2017.
The game is expected in 2018 I believe at this point.
I liked keeping up to date on this game on that other site and since there doesn't seem to be a thread already, I went ahead and created one.
Curse me and turn me into a lizard if there was already one.
