Antonblast (Switch and Steam) Review

Here at The Retro Joypad we don't usually feature modern day releases, however this new platformer states that it's inspired by the Wario platform games of the past so I felt that this qualified for a review.

Antonblast has just been released on both Nintendo Switch and Steam and straight away let me say this is the best platform game I've played in years and it does indeed tip it's hat to the Wario platformers of the past, it's very much in that style.

The game has a great sense of humour starting with the introductory cut scenes at the beginning and continuing throughout.

Each level is huge and will take a fair bit of time to complete offering a good and entertaining challenge, the graphics are terrific, done in a cartoony style which fit the game perfectly.

In the game your Wario inspired character can smash through blocks, travel to areas of the level further back on the screen (clever!) to name but two features.

As previously mentioned the best platform game I've enjoyed in years, if you're a platformer fan and own a Switch or a Steam Deck this is a must-have game, it's brilliant!
