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! Beautiful and charming graphics, spot-on controls, and very solidly designed levels.
Simply a great game. I've never played the original Beautiful and charming graphics, spot-on controls, and very solidly designed levels.
Simply a great game. I've never played the original game, so I don't use the option to turn the graphics back to 8-bit style, but it's a fun option to have. Oddly the game hardest in the beginning and get progressively easier as you acquire more health and weapons/armor. You'd think it would make more sense if the game became more difficult along the way. So stick with it at the start and you'll be rewarded with a fun game. The only negative point for me is that some item shops are hidden and impossible to find without the use of a walkthrough. I've never played the original Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap, so this remastered version was fun for me.
The artwork and character animations I've never played the original Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap, so this remastered version was fun for me. The artwork and character animations are really great, and I'm impressed by their ability to modernize the game while keeping the gameplay exactly the same. It's a great game, but I do wish it had a bit more of a storyline or context to the main character's ultimate quest. Considering it's just a remastered version of an old game, however, it's not like they could have changed it. I suppose it's just an example of how the old style of video games don't always hold up to modern standards, even when developers modernize the graphics.
I definitely still recommend buying the game if you haven't played the old version, or if you played the old version and you absolutely loved it. At $20, it's worth the price, but don't expect it to be the best game you've ever played.
