Summary
Boulder Dash EX brings the classic digging action to the Game Boy Advance with a fresh twist. The game packs over 60 puzzles and three distinct modes: the updated EX Game, which adds new enemies, items and anime‑style cutscenes as Alex races to rescue his friend Sonya from the Dark King; a faithful Classic Game that reproduces the original arcade experience; and a Battle Mode that lets up to four players clash via link cable. Developed by Tokyo’s Vision Works and published by Kemco in September 2002, the title serves as both a remake of the arcade original and a showcase for the handheld’s multiplayer potential. Critics on Metacritic generally praised the blend of nostalgia and new content, noting that the added story beats and competitive mode give longtime fans a reason to dig again.
Storyline
In Boulder Dash EX, anime‑style cutscenes appear between levels, showing the player character Alex on a quest to rescue his friend Sonya from the Dark King.
