"Everyone has their worries and their struggles maintaining a balance of positive and negative emotions in their lives," developer Naoto Ohshima explained during the reveal livestream. While Balan Wonderworld has a cute aesthetic, it actually deals with some pretty heavy themes. These will each have different abilities like letting the player "walk in the air, freeze time, and manipulate all kinds of objects." These can be switched between at any time, so part of Balan Wonderworld's challenge will be determining which powers are best for certain situations. While you can run, jump, and fight like in any other 3D platformer, Balan Wonderworld's unique draw is that players will have over 80 costumes to choose from at any time, and each of them seems to have unique powers. What will Balan Wonderworld gameplay be like?īalan Wonderworld is an action-platformer that Yuji Naka describes as "the action game of action games." What that actually means is that Balan Wonderworld is a 3D platformer where players travel through shapeshifting environments. Still, anyone who's interested in Balan Wonderworld should be able to play it easily, no matter what platform they are on. The only notable exception when it comes to platforms is Google Stadia, which Square Enix is supporting with games like Final Fantasy XV and Outriders but not much else.
