Publisher X Plus Games and developer Sonzai Games have announed Bat Boy for Switch and other platforms.
Bat Boy is a retro style 2D platformer starring the titular baseball themed superhero as he faces off against the villainous Lord Vicious, who has brainwashed Bat Boy’s fellow sports-themed superhero allies into participating in the heinous Trials Of Darkness. The game is scheduled to release sometime in 2022 for Switch and other platforms.
Check out the trailer below, along with additional details via Steam:
Interdimensional mage Lord Vicious has brainwashed Bat Boy’s fellow teammates in order to participate in the Trials of Darkness, a heinously brutal series of athletic events! It’s up to Bat Boy to team up with one-time villain and mouthy crow Garou, traversing all manner of hostile worlds, to free the minds of his sports-hero teammates before they fall victim to the Trials. Along the way, Bat Boy will encounter all manner of characters, some allies, most not, as he fights his way to the final confrontation with Lord Vicious.
Bat Boy pits the titular hero against the former allies of his sports team, heroes such as Racket Girl, Shinai Guy, Aquaria and Mr. Blitzer, among others as he travels through the many worlds beyond Lord Vicious’ dimensional gateway!
