'Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap' (ALL) Goes Gold

by Rainier on April 6, 2017 @ 1:05 a.m. PDT

A good curse makes a good game (or so they say)! turned into a half-human, half-lizard monstrosity by the Meka-Dragon, a lonesome adventurer is facing the challenge of a lifetime!

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.

Lizardcube announced that "Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap is now gold on all consoles!"

Along with Wonder Boy in his classic form, you can now play as the totally awesome, totally radical Wonder Girl! Bringing the game to a new, larger audience necessitated sprinkling the classic with many improvements – one of which is a female character who is just as strong, just as fierce as the titular male hero.

Key Featuring

  • A huge interconnected world!
  • 6 playable forms for our shape-shifting hero, with different abilities!
  • Dragons of all kinds! A Zombie Dragon! A Mummy Dragon! A Samurai Dragon!
  • An eye-patch wearing shop-keeper pig who may or may not provide a sense of warmth and direction!
  • Beautiful, hand-drawn animated graphics!
  • A memorable soundtrack, based on Shinichi Sakamoto's originals, re-imagined and recorded with classical instruments!
  • ...and more to be announced!

Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap will be available on April 18th for the PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch (and a few weeks after on PC).
