Not unlike Power Rangers, or Big Bad Beetleborgs of television fame, 'Bat Boy' comes at you with all that Sentai Saturday morning glory packaged neatly inside of an 8-Bit Metroidvania platformer. Presented as a sports hero focused fight against all things evil it pits a gang of heroic sports loving friends against neighborhood pests as well as invading aliens from another dimension. Including the evil menace that is Lord Vicious, and his cronies.
As bat wielding Ryosuke, the titular "Bat Boy", you find yourself, one fateful night, at the mercy of the maniacal mastermind Lord Vicious as he wisps away your brainwashed friends in arms to a mysterious trial of darkness. Following in hot pursuit you set out to save your friends, and best the baddies. Utilizing your baseball bat, and bat swinging skills as you take the lead of a talking amnesiac crow.
