    Nearly three decades later, the gameplay of Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World still holds up. And perhaps more importantly, it reminds us that there’s something timeless about a hero or heroine who never wavers in the face of danger.

    Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World is a charming throwback that sticks close to its 16-bit roots. Teaming with upbeat energy and a heroine who never loses her spark, this is an easy remake to enjoy.

    Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World is a good addition in the form of a remake to keep alive a classic series that has its merits, but doesn't go beyond a visual overhaul and minimal gameplay improvements. While unimpressive, the cartoonish charisma, effective simplicity, and accessibility will appeal to those who enjoy action platformers with a retro RPG feel, as well as children.
