Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap

Okay so first off before they even added the update to give Xbox One and PS4 controller support, my Xbox controller was already working with it! I haven’t tried it since the update, so they may have added some refinements but I thought that was cool. I definitely recommend playing this game with a controller so you can get the most out of your display. As far as the game itself, I have to say that I had never played the original game or any other WonderBoy/MonsterBoy game. So I didn’t know what I was getting into but the game looked promising so I bought it. I have been really enjoying this game! It’s basically a side scrolling RPG with some plat forming. So yes, good game. Even better with a controller! The only thing I think that could use some improvement is the help menu. It’s just a bunch of pictures with button mapping.

This game is clearly fun, he level design is good and you feel the old-game nostalgia when playing. But... the format on iPhone is just awful. NOTHING justify this format. The game do not use any smartphone features in particular. Worse, the controls are horrendous since you alternate between plate-form puzzles and monsters fights. The game itself isn’t hard, but you keep on dying because the controls make everything harder. I do not mind hard game when the level design is thought this way (ex: Hollow Night). However here I feel like it’s not the developers intentions, it just feel like a lazy attempt to remaster an old good game on iOS to make some $$$ without even wondering if this format is even appropriate for the gameplay. Well, it’s not, it’s just incredibly frustrating. If you’re looking for some challenge, go ahead, but be aware it might not be the kind of challenge you are looking for.

At different points in the game it freezes and then continues to freeze at Game Center login! Only option is to uninstall and reinstall losing all progress. Great game can’t wait to actually play it! Responding to the developer response.... this has been an “unknown issue” for months if you look at all the reviews before mine that have the same issue. Thankfully the issue has become slightly less frequent and I was able to complete the game which is actually pretty great so I’ll bump up to 3 stars, but still has some bugs to work out.

I never heard of the Wonder Boy game series until now. The new art style is what first drew my attention. After getting use to the somewhat old school game mechanics, I quickly fell in love with this game. I love the option of being various creatures with slightly different playing styles. I almost competed everything in the game but unfortunately now it keeps crashing. Hopefully a new UPDATE will fix the issues.

This is the really first game i played when i was a kid! on a Sega Master System console that my mom “rent!” for me in a video rental shop and i was lucky that she rent this game for me with the console. Yep back in the days consoles like this was expensive, at least for my mom. I love to have this game in my pocket now and the remake and music is so well done, i own this game on Nintendo and Mac as well. It is of course not as simple to play it on iPhone, but i am sure developers can figure out better way to control the characters, it is pretty hard to play the game but this is just first release and we will probably get update soon. Thank you Lizardcube, Dotemu and Playdigious to make this happen. 9/10 stars from me
