In search for a cure, our mutated anti-hero will explore the many traps of Monster Land... and defeat many stuff-throwing, curse-wielding dragons. How many more transformations can one hopeful body survive, as it turns into a Lizard, a Mouse, a Piranha, a Lion, and a Hawk... The six different forms of our shape-shifting hero make up the cast of this non-stop action-adventure platformer!
Imagine if Zelda, Metroid and Mario had a love child.
DotEmu and Lizardcube are thrilled to reveal an exciting new feature in our Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap remake: the “Retro” feature, the ability to switch back and forth between 8-bit and the modern HD graphics with the touch of a button in real time.
Whether you're a purist touting the idea that "it was better in the old days" or a futurist who digs 21st-century graphics and remastered soundtracks, this enhanced version of Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap satisfies all persuasions. With the Retro Feature you can switch in-game from HD to 8-bit anytime, anywhere. If you have fond memories of piano key neckties and talking Trans Ams, the Retro Feature lets you go back in time with just the press of a button !
