![]() When I first saw Balan, the first thing that came to mind was Nights, which I know Naka had a fondness for. If there is one game that comes to mind when talking about the plot in Balan, it is Nights. The two are then guided through Wonderworld by Balan as they help children and adults find balance in their hearts. The theater appears when the balance in one’s heart is thrown out of whack, thus connecting their dreams to Wonderworld. One day, the two find themselves drawn to the mysterious Balan Wonderworld Theater. The two are currently troubled with Leo isolating himself from others due to an argument he had with a friend and Emma becoming paranoid due her fear of what other people are saying about her. Storyīalan Wonderworld centers around two characters, Leo & Emma. Seriously guys, Balan isn’t a great game but if you think this one is bad, then you need to play more games. After seeing those reviews, I actually wanted to pass on playing the game but it was already on the way from Gamefly so I gave it a shot and….yeah people judged this game way too harshly. ![]() Reviews were average at best, negative at worst and some were even naming it the worst game of 2021. Sadly when Balan Wonderworld released this year, it was meant with a very lukewarm reaction. Yeah he was working for Square but as we have seen with a lot of these autor games, not having anyone to talk down the creator isn’t always a good thing. Naka we were talking about and he was now free of Sega. ![]() Now I wasn’t really that excited for Balan when I first saw it but I still had high hopes that it would be something special. That is until this past year when it was announced that Naka had partnered with Square Enix to bring us a new 3D platformer by the man himself: Balan Wonderworld. He would found his own company but aside from a few Digimon games, he wouldn’t develop anything of note. As the head of Sonic Team, the man would head up several projects such as Burning Rangers, Nights: Into Dreams and of course Sonic the Hedgehog. ![]() For those of you who don’t know, Yuji Naka was one of the top men working for Sega back in the day. This is a man who has been off the radar for sometime. ![]()
