The Monster World

Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World is set in a Monster World.

In particular, four spirits have been imprisoned by an invader who wants to conquer Monster World.

Asha has been asked by Queen Praprill to rescue the spirits. She begins an adventure alongside Pepelogoo. This mysterious creature is one she encounters in the royal capital of Rapadana.

Fast-Paced Action

The game offers players a fast-paced and challenging action that's been finely tuned for easy retries. This should encourage players to jump back into the fray. It invites players to an expansive world that's brimming with unknown encounters, events, and discoveries. By the way, once players clear a stage they can revisit it to discover new secrets. During the journey, players can go across different captivating environments that include plateaus, volcanoes, ice worlds, and sky-high realms.

Meet Pepelogoo

As mentioned, players don't go on the adventure alone since they get to do it with Pepelogoo. This brings us to a unique highlight of the game which is the wide range of actions that makes use of Pepelogoo. There are a lot of unique gameplay mechanics to enjoy like gliding while holding onto Pepelogoo. It also lets players perform double jumps and activating switches in distant locations.
