Chapter 1: There was once a farmer who lived in the countryside. He grew corn to keep the town and himself fed. Despite the hard work needed, he loved his job and did it with a smile. But then, one dark day, a tornado came and ruined his crops. The farmer was devastated. Luckily for him however, one of the plants survived, and the farmers ambition to keep growing and harvesting corn returned as well as his smile. Chapter 2: There was a diver and a dolphin. They both loved to play with each other and the fish around them. Unfortunately, the dolphin accidentally hit the diver, who almost drowned. The diver believed they would never be friends again, but she was wrong. Eventually, while out on the ocean, she met the dolphin again. The diver decided to forgive the dolphin, and they became friends once again. Chapter 3: There was a girl who loved bugs, like caterpillars, spiders, and other critters around the world. Unfortunately, her passion for bugs made other people sick, and she was never really able to find friends. She tried again and again, but to no avail. One day, she had a go with a caterpillar who was just about to turn into a graceful butterfly. The students were amazed, and she made herself some friends, at least in science class. Chapter 4: There was a boy who wanted to fly without an airplane. He tried several methods, like balloons. They never worked, and he got angrier and angrier. Eventually, he realized that he needed to relax. His next attempt at flight worked, and he flew off having learnt something. "Be patient and good things will come to you ." Chapter 5: This seems to represent the classic issue of modernization. There was a woman who loved nature and what it beholds. Unfortunately, all of the trees were cut down because of modernization. The woman was panicking and wanted a way to get the trees back. Soon she had an idea. That idea was combining modernization and nature in a way that would fit everyone, with trees on houses and parks in cities. She brought this idea to some construction workers, and they decided to allow it. For naturists, this was a miracle. Chapter 6: There was a little girl. One day, the girl found a stray cat. A bond was made between the two, and the girl was happy with her new cat. However, a car showed up and ran over the cat, killing it... Or so the girl thought. While taking a nightly stroll, she found out that her cat was alive. Relieved, she gave the cat a big hug as she smiled from ear to ear. Chapter 7: Now this is a classic. There was a man who was practically unbeatable at chess. For his talents, he won several trophies and crowned himself king. One day, a person showed up and challenged the self-crowned king to a game of chess. The person won that game. The dethroned king lost everything. One day as he was taking a stroll, a boy showed up and asked him if he wanted to play a game of chess. The former king agreed, and they played. The former king was playing well, and the kid was stumped. Realizing that he was in the kids position, he let the kid win on purpose. Two girls showed up, and the man asked if they wanted to play. They agreed. Chapter 8: There was a girl. One day a man proposed to her. She accepted the proposal and good times came to her... Until they didn't. The girl lost the family and she couldn't get over it. She became too scared to love. One night, she realized that her long lost husband was waiting for her. They got remarried and may have also had a makeout session in the wedding church. Chapter 9: There was a clown. He danced and gave out balloons and took soda cans to the face. One day while on his usual routine, a beautiful princess showed up and gave him a heart shaped balloon. Since then, he fell into a literal rollercoaster ride of suppressed emotions and embarrassment. One day he couldn't suppress his feelings anymore and admitted his feelings to the princess with a big flower bouquet. Chapter 10: There was an artist. She was good at her job. Her paintings were appreciated by others. Unfortunately, as with all artists and writers, she got an unfortunate case of extreme painter's block. But soon, she managed to overcome that and finish a wonderful piece of art. Chapter 11: There was a fireman and a little girl. The fireman stood out from the others and was well talented at his job. One night, there was a fire at an apartment complex. The little girl was there! The fireman had to do something, but the fire was raging, he thought he wouldn't be able to save the girl in time. But he had to try. He needed to do something. Realizing this, the fireman mustered the courage needed and ran in for the girl. The crew managed to put out the fire, and the girl was saved. Chapter 12: There was an old man. He cleaned up the trash that people left on the sidewalks, despite all the people getting in his way. Soon the old man questioned if he was even visible to everyone. Turns out he was, when a boy and girl put trash in its rightful place. Soon after, people began to realize the old man's work and decided to help him. The sidewalks were cleaner than clean, and the old man was happy now that people have finally noticed him and his work. Geez this took a while, hope you like it.
Chapter 7 actually more tragic then it looks, In the BOOK the king of chess guy have a wife but then feel ill, he was too focused for his last chest game that he didn't show up for his wife final moments
Actually looking at Chapter 11, the firefighter dreamed about being a hero and saving people. So when a fire broke out and a person was trapped, he thought he could save her. Turns out he was too scared to rush in because the burning blaze was scarier than it looks.
the final boss is literally just standing still and waiting for the next attack but then OH NO HE GETS THE BEST OF YOU OH NOOO then the power of friendship give you strength like ffs that could not be more forced
@@pikapals41 The cutscenes, most of the visuals, and even the soundtrack is all good. The gameplay is just horrendous. I like the fact that almost nothing in this game makes sense though, gives it a NiGHTS feel.
Actually If Balan didn't meet Emma and Leo, he wouldn't have given them a part of his power, thus the Negati feeding off the People's despair and suffering would continue to do so because the duo wouldn't have defeated them. It's true he didn't do much, but he did something. :) _it's just the gameplay didn't care about him._
@@DynoSkrimisher So... why he needed 2 children to do his work? what exactly is his power? why is Leo sad? Why Balan has a minigame where he destroy crystals? why the Tims are needed?
This game be like: Kid: "Oh no I lose my cat" Random Evil creature:" Who whom summoned me" Kid: "Hay I found my cat" Random Evil creature: "Shit I am out" Everyone:*Start Dancing*
I feel bad for Lance, man. From the novel we know that he's the antagonist because he's trying to keep people in wonder world, and he's trying to do that because he doesn't want his friends to leave by going back to their normal lives. Then at the end when he finally gets snapped out of it, the things I assume are the negati drag him back into a literal pit of despair....
The bosses make me think of Madoka Magica for some reason.. The people reach their deepest moment of despair and turn into corrupted manifestations of themselves..
It reminds me of some weird hybrid of Madoka Magica and Miraculous. Madoka, because of the designs. And Miraculous because of the concept of these designs reflecting something awful that’s happened to the victims and a mysterious villain twisting them into villains.
Kinda. It's like Persona, with the whole going into people's cognitions and fixing them. But instead of it being removing horrid people's desires, you are stopping them from getting depression or whatnot.
Fanged hound of winds: Barktholomew Shocker of the deep blue: Anjellica Bladed monarch of the woods: Wormsworth Tempest wings of insanity: Worville Wright Toxic hatchling of the ruined nest: Cuckoo Temporal Feline Trickster: Purrla The Kingpin and his mechanical crown: Fortstopher IV Subzero Daemon of the deep: Grim Creeper Queen of comedy and heavy artillery: Princess Marey Elusive frames of Illusion: Inkabelle Metal Smokestack Dragon: Hydrac Camouflaged Janitor of ruins: Hooverton The Shadow of the darkened masks: Lance Malice and Darkness Manifest: Negati-Lance
The cutscenes and the story are actually quite nice: People turning corrupted by being overwhelmed from despair, caused from a traumatic event that made their heart close up and turn cold.. ... It's the gameplay that's pretty donkey ass bad
Have you SEEN the dancing? It's mocap, which for dancing, unfortunately makes the characters look lifeless. Also the chess piece dancing feels threatening in a way
There may be a lot of things that are wrong and are to complain about, but nothing will change my mind on how beautiful the music and the graphics are in this game.
This game had a lot of potential, everything about it is amazing. But the gameplay itself just undermines it all and gives it that good ol' sonic 06 feel.
everyone just had like a bad day but the bride was some dark depressing stuff lost her familie to death almost got divorced cause she was depressed as hell dark as hell... Edit:holy **** over 250 likes Thx for overwhelming my comment 😮😮😮
The little girl too, I don't quite understand what happened at the end of her fight (like, baland went back in time and prevented her cat from being ran over?) but she almost saw her cat die horribly in front of her, that's pretty traumatic for a child
@@geovanibenjamin8940 I saw it as the girl just panicked when she saw the cat crossing the street and a car was coming, and she ran away without looking back out of fear, not wanting to see her friend die...only to find out the car actually stopped in time and the cat successfully crossed the road, so it was all just a panic attack
@@dustymcwari4468 The Man Seen By No One, is by far the best one to be the final lost soul. Old age. Inevitability. Alienation. The world moving on without you. Traveling the same path over and over, all of your friends just, gone. Everyone treating you like you don't even exist. His is the despair that's waiting for all of us.
@@XX-sp3tt that’s really true, but the Bride’s not one, but two heavy nukes tossed at her prosperous life all of sudden, dropping her from her highest to her lowest point of her life in a single swoop, so much she isolates herself from the world, including her fiancé who’s worried and tried his best to help her out without disturbing her too much, but to no avail, and even though she begins to notice she has a problem, no matter how she tries, her depression keeps winning and she only sinks deeper, all the way until she nearly loses all the warmth in her heart, to fall in an eternal slumber forever. So after the boss fight, she finally manages to thaw herself out of the ice, go back to her fiancé, marry, and form a family herself, saying that no matter how much life may hurt and how low you can get, you can still make it out and continue with your life. I saw the old man’s story more about one of persistence more than anything, he wants to do a good thing to the world (keeping the streets clean), but the world itself doesn’t seem to care all that much, the man keeps trying and trying, but it’s as if the more he tried, the more invisible he becomes, and it’s as if his efforts become all the less effective the more he tries, so he’s really being pushed to throw the towel, and after still trying to keep doing that nice thing, people eventually begin to notice, and they start to help him out as well, so much so his vision is not only achieved, but he’s getting recognized for it, I guess it’s a story about how a small individual can make a big change if it’s determined to do it But guess the stories are rather open to interpretation, at least in the game, because the book does go deeper and more detailed with them
The artist got cursed because she had an art block. If this game was real I would be a monster every week. Edit:This comment was just poking fun out of the game it wasn't supposed to be that serious.
That... Would be true with me but with a mix up of games and art (I like to play games for fun and draw for my world. Not sure about animations cause first use, delayed)
I think the Clown’s ending gives a reverse Beauty and the Beast idea, the guy only had confidence when he removed the silly mask which I thought was his real face
I thought to myself. "YOU WERE WEARING A MASK?!" When he took off his mask, and I was just sort of thinking that this clown guy was just depressed because he lacked confidence to confess to a girl that he liked her.
25:55 as someone who’s had pets run over by careless drivers who don’t even have the curtesy to check and see if they’re okay or apologize for killing them, I totally relate with this girl!
@@leonardofarias8843 you’re correct, the girl saw a car coming while the cat was crossing the road, she panicked thinking the car was going to hit the cat, but the girl never actually saw the cat get run over, she turned around, ran and never looked back cause she didn’t want to see the brutal scene. However in the end, time gets reversed, and instead of the girl running away, she turns back around only to realise the car actually stopped in time and the cat crossed the road perfectly fine.
The Art and designs look like a mixture of Klonoa and Nights........ I don’t know if that’s good or bad. 🤔 At least the music is great! And the concept that each of the Bosses is a person going through their darkest moments, and they become corrupted versions of their Dreams, PHENOMENAL!! Edit: holy crap they go dark! The BRIDE chapter, Jeez Louise........
I love how the introduction includes both characters, the male and female version. Most don't they just include the one you pick. The way it played with the realities in the game.
Yeah, it's such a shame that the boy story sucks, a lot. Like, the girl makes sense why she would be depressed and sad, but the boy's story doesn't make sense, it is like. "Boy dances, everyone likes the dance, them boy is depressed"
@@bigcraudio3066 its explained in the novel, the kid had an argument with his best friend and they stoped being friends so he doesnt want to make friends so he cant lose them
@@juliamxd9614 i didn't even know there was as a novel lol. Also, why didn't they decided to show this in the game instead of a separate book? Couldn't they figured out a way to represent this without dialogue?
So, my theory on the development of Balan Wonderworld goes as such: Yuji Naka and co. wanted to make a spiritual successor to NiGHTS into Dreams, and designed a world and characters to fit in it. They got far enough as to make the pre-rendered cutscenes, then were ordered by the publisher, Square Enix, to shift direction from a 2.5D acrobatic flight game to a 3D Platformer without moving their original deadline.
Here're the names of the Bosses, in order (discluding Lance) Barktholomew Anjellica Wormsworth Worville Wright Cuckoo Purrla Fortstopher IV The Grim Creeper Princess Marley Inkabella The Hydrac Hooverton I'm hoping somebody makes a video explaining the Boss designs.
I love how from the third boss onwards every victory becomes a "Rare achievement" and goes down to 0.19% at the end ... it is a testament that being a completionist takes some serious dedication lol
This game was released just over a week ago, and people have already blown through the entire thing. All I can say is... Damn. That certainly says something, but I'm not in a position to define what.
All bosses in Nutshell: 1. Big Bad Wolf 2. Overgrown Shark 3. Arachnophobia and so much more 4. Psycho Plane 5. CHICKENMCNUGGETS 6. Kitty 7. Gremlin and the Chess King 8. Frozen Goat 9. Jevil on Mega Steroids 10. IT CAME FROM THE PAINTING 11. Dragon 12. Mr. X 13. "You know, bringer of Nightmares, master of the Uproar 😈😈😈"
I feel like the central theme for the game is grief and loss, the main boss lance amplifies it by taking said grief and manifesting it into a monster, that or the theme of depression since in the introduction the MC seems disinterested in interacting with others. End message being things can always get better. I'm also curious if they have a nightmare mode for this game to play to increase the attack speed of the bosses.
Game: You saved me! Let's dance! Book: I WANTED MY IGNORANT BLISS IN THIS SANCTUARY, WHERE I WAS FREE OF THE MEMORIES THAT HAUNTED ME! (curls up in a ball and sobs)
@@vibevizier6512 Yes. There are a couple spots that were awkwardly translated, but overall it was a good read. Heck, I wish it would get an adaptation, like an anime miniseries or something
@@JabaPlay I noticed since you were just standing there for a few of those bosses. One or two did show some challenge, I noticed, but I think the story makes it worth it. Seriously, with the cat one and the bride one, I was nearly in tears, and they do it all without saying a single comprehensive word. I'm definitely going to get this game when I get the chance.
@@ThatsATHICC_RAY There are, they're just buried under the majority of people bashing the game for often-times contradicting reasons. Not BAD reasons, but reasons that seem to treat the situations as worse than they are in reality.
@@lebar80 Kiryu's the Main character from the Yakuza games; There was a meme a while back where he slams a table and walks out of the room while sad music is playing.

wait, Balan and Lance. They look similar to each other, could they be one and the same? also, they're names, combine them: Balan + Lance = Balance. like they're 2 halves of the same coin, so while Balan helps you, you also help them to free/save their other half. but yeah, quite the roller coaster of a theme.
@@wyrancost523 also i think the dancing after defeating bosses is like a fully 3D homage to the Kirby series of games, since after you beat bosses in those games, Kirby, and sometimes whatever companion was with him in that helped in the fight (like in Superstar, Superstar Ultra, and Star Allies), and would dance in victory.
Lance is in charge of all the negative and Balan is all the positive emotions. As the theme song saids you need balance so both are needed to help you but the game is about Lance deciding to farm negative emotions from trauma Victims indefinitely to become more powerful than Balan so working with Balan is the correction to balance them all
Balan and Lance actually are the same person. Lance was the original Balan, but after helping humans, he sorta fell into despair from all of the negative emotions. So, he created the new current Balan to take care and help those troubled people. This info is from the Balan Wonderworld novel
More like Persona 4 as you're helping people who have been overwhelmed by their trauma rather than trite cliche assholes who don't have repressed good sides which is what their shadow would've have been.
@@flowertiew1473 no just joking about how the fireman's stage is a burning city. There is a level in Sonic 06 called Crisis City which is, in turn, a burning city. The cause of it was because of a rampaging fire demigod let loose from a princess named Elise which was sealed away in her. And the stupid part is, the only way to break the seal was for her cry. Sonic 06's story was not a good one. (It was very bad...)
I have the answer to the seizure problem. Don't forget Shantae and Cuphead have flashing. Always play with the lights on, possibly during the day, and wear sunglasses. 😎 Works for me!
The game reminds me of a ps1 game called Threads of Fate, one of the main characters, Hue, had the power to transform in many of the enemies we defeated. While the bosses remind me a bit of some ones of the klonoa franchise. The game design it reminds me more like a mix between nights into dreams and klonoa. With balan being a "nights" of sorts.
This is what we got instead of a sequel to that game. If they had just struck back when the iron was hot, they would’ve had a trilogy they could put into an HD collection like with Spyro and Crash. Ah well, I’m working on my own stuff now. If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself.

I KNOW this game is trash… but i have such a fondness for Balan and the general artistic direction and messaging of the game that I can’t help but love it. I don’t know how else to explain it, but i really love Balan Wonderworld despite its numerous and egregious flaws as a game.
Seems like a game that worries more about it's artistic expression than coherency, so to speak. Which I can respect to a degree, letting a game display vision and ideas over the need to create a narrative is certainly a valid approach. I think the game looks well made and visually great even if the gameplay might be sort of excessive and slow-ish. The bosses don't look like they have a particular theming around them. No one boss seems to have any real connection to the source it came from but they're colorful and bright and I enjoy the designs. Especially Balan himself. It's like a cartoon made with eastern designs rather than western designing. Over the top and maybe not entirely readable, so to speak, but it looks like it would at least be fun to experience.
Just a little idea I made if a chapter title were to pop up just before the final boss battle. SPOILERS, DON'T LOOK UNLESS YOU WISHED TO BE SPOILED OR ALREADY KNOW Chapter 13: The maestro who was before
IT’S THE INHABITANTS! the scarecrow The seagazer The bugsy The skygazer The watcher of the woods The clocktower kid The checkered king The lady of the midnight sun The pensive pierrot The madam of the mansion The sentiel of the city And The invisible custodian! At 1:11:39
@@juliamxd9614 he never said that. he's just saying that the game is bad *because the game is bad*. Plus the person who runs this channel definitely just made this for views, and I can guarantee they probably didn't like the game either.
The chessboard fight was kind of interesting but I felt like it would be way more interesting if you actually played chess or something as the board was almost entirely used for aesthetic.

From the novel we know that he's the antagonist because he's trying to keep people in wonder world, and he's trying to do that because he doesn't want his friends to leave by going back to their normal lives. Then at the end when he finally gets snapped out of it, the things I assume are the negati drag him back into a literal pit of despair....

Oh my god I’m not the only one who thought of this
The engineer looks like that one witch but jet
Manga , anime ‘Netflix adaptation
It reminds me of some weird hybrid of Madoka Magica and Miraculous. Madoka, because of the designs. And Miraculous because of the concept of these designs reflecting something awful that’s happened to the victims and a mysterious villain twisting them into villains.
So basically all the bosses are people who were corrupted due to something that happened to them
Kinda. It's like Persona, with the whole going into people's cognitions and fixing them. But instead of it being removing horrid people's desires, you are stopping them from getting depression or whatnot.
And you are there to prevent them from... I dunno becoming eternally depressed or something based on one event that happened to them

It can't be that terrible though. I found the whole concept captivating amazing.
The cutscenes and the story are actually quite nice: People turning corrupted by being overwhelmed from despair, caused from a traumatic event that made their heart close up and turn cold..
... It's the gameplay that's pretty donkey ass bad
It's style over substance, which sucks a lot
Too bad they also cut story details like the princess the clown was in love with was the little girl with the cat
Bosses designs be hitting different tho
I thot it looked good
Dident really Care about it
Have you SEEN the dancing? It's mocap, which for dancing, unfortunately makes the characters look lifeless. Also the chess piece dancing feels threatening in a way
There may be a lot of things that are wrong and are to complain about, but nothing will change my mind on how beautiful the music and the graphics are in this game.
This game had a lot of potential, everything about it is amazing. But the gameplay itself just undermines it all and gives it that good ol' sonic 06 feel.
everyone just had like a bad day but the bride was some dark depressing stuff lost her familie to death almost got divorced cause she was depressed as hell dark as hell...
Edit:holy **** over 250 likes
Thx for overwhelming my comment 😮😮😮
She should’ve been the final world, her story is easily the darkest and deepest of the bunch
The little girl too, I don't quite understand what happened at the end of her fight (like, baland went back in time and prevented her cat from being ran over?) but she almost saw her cat die horribly in front of her, that's pretty traumatic for a child
@@geovanibenjamin8940 I saw it as the girl just panicked when she saw the cat crossing the street and a car was coming, and she ran away without looking back out of fear, not wanting to see her friend die...only to find out the car actually stopped in time and the cat successfully crossed the road, so it was all just a panic attack
@@dustymcwari4468 The Man Seen By No One, is by far the best one to be the final lost soul. Old age. Inevitability. Alienation. The world moving on without you. Traveling the same path over and over, all of your friends just, gone. Everyone treating you like you don't even exist. His is the despair that's waiting for all of us.
@@XX-sp3tt that’s really true, but the Bride’s not one, but two heavy nukes tossed at her prosperous life all of sudden, dropping her from her highest to her lowest point of her life in a single swoop, so much she isolates herself from the world, including her fiancé who’s worried and tried his best to help her out without disturbing her too much, but to no avail, and even though she begins to notice she has a problem, no matter how she tries, her depression keeps winning and she only sinks deeper, all the way until she nearly loses all the warmth in her heart, to fall in an eternal slumber forever. So after the boss fight, she finally manages to thaw herself out of the ice, go back to her fiancé, marry, and form a family herself, saying that no matter how much life may hurt and how low you can get, you can still make it out and continue with your life.
I saw the old man’s story more about one of persistence more than anything, he wants to do a good thing to the world (keeping the streets clean), but the world itself doesn’t seem to care all that much, the man keeps trying and trying, but it’s as if the more he tried, the more invisible he becomes, and it’s as if his efforts become all the less effective the more he tries, so he’s really being pushed to throw the towel, and after still trying to keep doing that nice thing, people eventually begin to notice, and they start to help him out as well, so much so his vision is not only achieved, but he’s getting recognized for it, I guess it’s a story about how a small individual can make a big change if it’s determined to do it
But guess the stories are rather open to interpretation, at least in the game, because the book does go deeper and more detailed with them
Damn the dolphin part was horrifying that girl was almost drown and at the end, she wasn't wearing any scuba gear, she was asking to be drown again

I think the Clown’s ending gives a reverse Beauty and the Beast idea, the guy only had confidence when he removed the silly mask which I thought was his real face
I thought to myself. "YOU WERE WEARING A MASK?!" When he took off his mask, and I was just sort of thinking that this clown guy was just depressed because he lacked confidence to confess to a girl that he liked her.
My question is why does the clown dude be looking like an anime protagonist?
Yea, me too
25:55 as someone who’s had pets run over by careless drivers who don’t even have the curtesy to check and see if they’re okay or apologize for killing them, I totally relate with this girl!
@@snipersylo1207 I think that it was just a panic attack
@@leonardofarias8843 you’re correct, the girl saw a car coming while the cat was crossing the road, she panicked thinking the car was going to hit the cat, but the girl never actually saw the cat get run over, she turned around, ran and never looked back cause she didn’t want to see the brutal scene. However in the end, time gets reversed, and instead of the girl running away, she turns back around only to realise the car actually stopped in time and the cat crossed the road perfectly fine.
I think you put me into the wrong one tho...
The Art and designs look like a mixture of Klonoa and Nights........ I don’t know if that’s good or bad. 🤔 At least the music is great!
And the concept that each of the Bosses is a person going through their darkest moments, and they become corrupted versions of their Dreams, PHENOMENAL!!

His hair went from pool noodles to one of the best hairstyles
So, my theory on the development of Balan Wonderworld goes as such:
Yuji Naka and co. wanted to make a spiritual successor to NiGHTS into Dreams, and designed a world and characters to fit in it. They got far enough as to make the pre-rendered cutscenes, then were ordered by the publisher, Square Enix, to shift direction from a 2.5D acrobatic flight game to a 3D Platformer without moving their original deadline.

Both the visual of the game and ost are so beautiful. So sad that i can't say the same for the rest.
This game was released just over a week ago, and people have already blown through the entire thing.
All I can say is... Damn.
That certainly says something, but I'm not in a position to define what.
It means the game is too easy. One button basically does everything in the game.
style over substance
All bosses in Nutshell:
1. Big Bad Wolf
2. Overgrown Shark
3. Arachnophobia and so much more
4. Psycho Plane
5. CHICKENMCNUGGETS
6. Kitty
7. Gremlin and the Chess King
8. Frozen Goat
9. Jevil on Mega Steroids
10. IT CAME FROM THE PAINTING
11. Dragon
12. Mr. X
13. "You know, bringer of Nightmares, master of the Uproar 😈😈😈"
I feel like the central theme for the game is grief and loss, the main boss lance amplifies it by taking said grief and manifesting it into a monster, that or the theme of depression since in the introduction the MC seems disinterested in interacting with others.
End message being things can always get better.
I'm also curious if they have a nightmare mode for this game to play to increase the attack speed of the bosses.
They story and art style is amazing. The reason this game is hated is because of the combat, boss fights, and the cringe dancing.
The only grief and loss i get from this game is having wasting 60 dollars on it
They do have a hard mode but the way it works is pretty dumb
The gameplay itself is a nightmare mode.

wait, Balan and Lance. They look similar to each other, could they be one and the same? also, they're names, combine them: Balan + Lance = Balance.
like they're 2 halves of the same coin, so while Balan helps you, you also help them to free/save their other half. but yeah, quite the roller coaster of a theme.
Well we messed that up, considering Lance got dragged into the void and we didn't bother going back for him.
Also that is a great analysis on your part, didn't notice the thing about the name until you pointed it out
@@wyrancost523 also i think the dancing after defeating bosses is like a fully 3D homage to the Kirby series of games, since after you beat bosses in those games, Kirby, and sometimes whatever companion was with him in that helped in the fight (like in Superstar, Superstar Ultra, and Star Allies), and would dance in victory.
Lance is in charge of all the negative and Balan is all the positive emotions. As the theme song saids you need balance so both are needed to help you but the game is about Lance deciding to farm negative emotions from trauma Victims indefinitely to become more powerful than Balan so working with Balan is the correction to balance them all
Balan and Lance actually are the same person. Lance was the original Balan, but after helping humans, he sorta fell into despair from all of the negative emotions. So, he created the new current Balan to take care and help those troubled people. This info is from the Balan Wonderworld novel
I like boss designs and fights , realy twisted and crazy
This should’ve been a movie instead of a game.😅
Also, what the main villain is doing to all of the Innocents, is basically what Akumatizing is.
The game boss fights are simple but you have to admit the bosses and environment designs are Amazing
I like how in the Bride battle the boss's spin attack can just be avoided by switching costumes.

The boss battles kinda remind me of persona 5 because it's like battling the monster forms of the shadows who rule their respective palaces
I was thinking more Persona 4 since it's more about helping each person accept their inner demons but, eh, same franchise so it makes sense.
I’d say p5 strikers as each boss has a trauma like this games bosses
More like Persona 4 as you're helping people who have been overwhelmed by their trauma rather than trite cliche assholes who don't have repressed good sides which is what their shadow would've have been.

The game reminds me of a ps1 game called Threads of Fate, one of the main characters, Hue, had the power to transform in many of the enemies we defeated. While the bosses remind me a bit of some ones of the klonoa franchise. The game design it reminds me more like a mix between nights into dreams and klonoa. With balan being a "nights" of sorts.

P. S. No, seriously, the boss fights would be much more interesting if we would just buff all attacks speed on 50%!

I KNOW this game is trash… but i have such a fondness for Balan and the general artistic direction and messaging of the game that I can’t help but love it. I don’t know how else to explain it, but i really love Balan Wonderworld despite its numerous and egregious flaws as a game.
This game really deserved to be better than it was!
Seems like a game that worries more about it's artistic expression than coherency, so to speak. Which I can respect to a degree, letting a game display vision and ideas over the need to create a narrative is certainly a valid approach. I think the game looks well made and visually great even if the gameplay might be sort of excessive and slow-ish. The bosses don't look like they have a particular theming around them. No one boss seems to have any real connection to the source it came from but they're colorful and bright and I enjoy the designs. Especially Balan himself. It's like a cartoon made with eastern designs rather than western designing. Over the top and maybe not entirely readable, so to speak, but it looks like it would at least be fun to experience.
god damn balan and lance look good asf ❤️

Just a little idea I made if a chapter title were to pop up just before the final boss battle.

Wait, the Evil Farmer’s boss fight is essentially just hitting him in the balls repeatedly.

I’m so sorry you played this game 😔
Can’t believe you managed to beat it and not stop after the first boss saying it sucked
Hey, he may liked the game
If you dont like the game thats ok but that doesnt mean there isn't people out there who cant enjoy it
@@juliamxd9614 he never said that. he's just saying that the game is bad *because the game is bad*. Plus the person who runs this channel definitely just made this for views, and I can guarantee they probably didn't like the game either.
The chessboard fight was kind of interesting but I felt like it would be way more interesting if you actually played chess or something as the board was almost entirely used for aesthetic.
Design and everything: Would be worth the money.
Gameplay: what the fuck
