Everyone should play Antonblast at least once, but good luck with that. There are still spirits to collect, and I’ll be riding this rollercoaster again in no time. Now, bring on the speedruns; this is gonna be a… I’m not gonna say it, but you get it.
ANTONBLAST is a new benchmark title for all Wario Land-inspired games thanks to its unbelievably exciting levels and bosses that can rival any classic 2D platformer
Please note that this review is of the Steam build of Antonblast. The review will be updated with details on the performance of the Nintendo Switch version of
Antonblast is like Crash Bandicoot if it was part Wario Land, part Ed, Edd n Eddy, and all awesome.
ANTONBLAST is silly, chaotic, eclectic and above all FUN!
Whether or not another Wario Land-inspired game can stand on its own is exactly what we're asking in our Antonblast Review.
Two indie Wario Land homages in as many years is a strange but very welcome coincidence, as this is almost as good as Pizza Tower – while still being very much its own game.
Antonblast is a great tribute to Nintendo’s Wario Land series with its madcap action and focus on gameplay variety. The cartoonish visuals, high replayability, and overall spectacle of the experience make this one well worth a recommendation, though we’d temper this by saying that it really needs some work on its Switch performance. Whether on Switch or elsewhere, we’d suggest you pick this one up if you’re at all a fan of Nintendo’s other Italian mascot and are looking for a well-made and fast-paced new 2D platformer—Antonblast has got it where it counts and is well-deserving of a spot in you...
Antonblast is a kinetic, visually stunning and frequently bizarre platformer developed and published by Summitsphere.

Antonblast is a fantastic 2D platformer that invokes the feelings of Wario Land and Pizza Tower, while also being very playable on the Steam Deck.
Antonblast is chaotic to a fault. Its explosive personality makes for an entertaining spectacle, but it left me wanting for a more controlled detonation.
In a world filled with games paying homage to the retro games of yesteryear, Wario Land was not a game I expected to start getting this kind of constant treatment. After the raving success behind Pizza Tower, it was only a matter of time before another game came on the scene attempting to make the perfect form of these games. That game being Antonblast, obviously. You know what you clicked on. Antonblast is a side-scrolling 2D platformer not unlike that of Wario Land, where you play as Anton ...
