Is Wagyan Land still worth playing in 2026?
A platformer from Namco, Wagyan Land stages a little dinosaur who paralyses his enemies with sounds and shouts rather than force, in colourful levels punctuated by thinking minigames against the bosses. This original blend of gentle platforming and logic challenges brings a singular freshness and a good natured charm. The cute art direction and the variety of challenges appeal. Left in Japan, the title remains little known. For a fan of original retro platforming or someone curious about the Namco catalogue, the title keeps a very real gentleness and inventiveness.
