Developer Lizardcube’s sublime 2017 Wonder Boy 3 remake, Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap, is heading to iOS and Android devices next month, on May 30th.
Not to be confused with developer Game Atelier’s equally recommended Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom (a completely new game inspired by the original Wonder Boy series), The Dragon’s Trap is a loving update of Sega’s Master System classic Wonder Boy 3, given a breathtaking audio-visual makeover.
In gameplay terms, a few nips and tweaks aside, it’s identical to the 1989 original (and you can even play the whole thing using the original Master System graphics if you prefer), making for a sometimes odd experience, as The Dragon’s Trap’s gorgeous presentation jostles against an underlying game design that hasn’t had much in the way of finessing for the modern era.
