About this game

Boasting beautiful, hand-drawn animations and a re-orchestrated soundtrack, the cult classic returns with a unique blend of exploration, action, and adventure!

Cursed into a half-human, half-lizard monstrosity by the Meka-Dragon, you are in search for a cure! The only way you can return to human form is to find the Salamander Cross, a magical item with the power to remove curses...

With each dragon slain, the curse intensifies, transforming you into different animals! Explore large, interconnected locations populated with grumpy monsters and exotic dragons!

Play as the game’s classic character, Hu-Man, or in support of War Child UK’s Day of the Girl campaign you can now play as Hu-Girl and support girls around the world. You can also inhabit Lizard-Man, Mouse-Man, Piranha-Man, Lion-Man, and Hawk-Man, and use their unique abilities to uncover the land’s deepest secrets.

Enjoy 3 difficulty levels catering to players of all types, and switch from modern graphics and sound to 8-bit graphics/audio at any time - even during gameplay!

A lot to love care and attention has gone into making this game and it shows great Shout out to the retro era and a total refreshment of gameplay sound and graphics making it a modern game Which you can switch between the two at a second works fantastic with an Xbox one controller. Not really fan of touch screen so don't know. Not worth $8.99 though. Very short once you know what you're doing

hello and welcome to this detailed review of wonderboy the dragons trap which is a remake of the master system version way back in the 1990,s which was 8 bit game, this has been updated with new graphics and sound and remastered, which it plays the same as the original version, im playing this on my android phone as was on offer . The game play and levels , being updated , play the same as it did before and the remastered version is wonderfully reproduced with modern visuals, its a great game and will spend hours playing it to find all those areas, my only concern is the controls being a bit laggy or not 100% correct, this is when trying to do jump attacks or jumping to platforms. on a android it can be a bit hard to pull off. would have been nice if they added more areas to find and expanded the original as its a bit short. overal a great game , and would recomend. 4/5

Update. Whenever I connect a USB-C controller to my phone this game crashes. When this bug is fixed, I would be happy to re-review. The Master System/Game Gear originals are held in high regard and this remake works incredibly well and is faithful to the original. Highly recommended for old and new gamers
