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.

Along with Wonder Boy in his classic form (Sega Master System game Wonder Boy III), 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.

The game’s developer, Lizardcube, reverse-engineered the original game in order to faithfully replicate the character movements, item drop logic, secret door locations and much more.

Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap will invite mobile gamers into its breathtaking hand-drawn world on iOS and Android devices as well as the Nvidia Shield for $8.99/£7.49.

Those who pre-register via the Google Play Store will be notified via email to receive a whopping 30 percent discount when the game is available on May 30th.

The mobile adaptation will offer the full premium experience of one of this generation’s most warmly received remakes by fans and critics alike. Redesigned for PC and console in 2017 by Lizardcube, the game has been optimized by development studio Playdigious for mobile, including the iPhone X, to best present its gorgeous, fluid depiction of Monster Land’s charming environments and menacing baddies. Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap features the same beautiful hand-drawn animation from its PC and console counterparts, bringing every moment within its vibrant world to life, as shown in this new trailer showcasing handheld gameplay:

Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap’s mobile version has been adjusted for touchscreens and will allow players to enjoy the action platformer on the go. Each of the remake’s highly lauded additions will be present, allowing fans to switch between classic and remastered visuals and audio on the fly, enter retro passwords discovered from the original 1989 release, and experience the playable debut of Wonder Girl.

Dotemu announced that Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap has sold nearly half a million copies on PC and console.
