SWITCH, PS4, PC

Back in 1994, a fourth game in the Wonder Boy sidescrolling platformer series came out, but not in Australia. Which was such a shame. The three previous games were classics and the fourth game mixed things up by making the lead character a girl. Her name is Asha, she is armed with a sword and she’s great at taking down monsters.
