Fun Game!!!
Bought this game because the game play look great. It is a little bit difficult some parts but it is fun. Plus the extra stuff that come the package is great. The manuel is beautiful and colorful. I never played the original game but I gave this one a chance and I don't regret it. It is a classic game

A fun platformer
A fantastic looking remake of a Sega Master System game from the 1980's, The Dragon's Trap is an action platformer that puts you in the shoes of the titular WonderBoy (or WonderGirl, if you prefer), who suffers a curse that transforms him or her into a variety of creatures, and must seek out a cure while using various animal abilities to make their way. While it has a modern coat of paint with a fantastic graphical style (you can toggle between it and the original graphics), it still retains much of the gameplay that reminds you that, yes, this IS a Master System title. Hit boxes are occasionally a bit too big, and you will often find yourself wandering around trying to find the next objective. Keep a browser page open to GameFAQS is what I'm saying. Some sort of optional hint system would have been a nice addition. The game is also relatively short, an experienced player should be able to blow through it in a matter of hours, and you can build your character up with additional upgrades to make them practically invincible by you reach the end boss. Fortunately, the game offers multiple difficulty levels to play if you find the game to be too easy. Despite a few flaws, I found myself enjoying the game, and would recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable action platformer.

Platformer with Pizaz.
A fantastic remake of a Sega classic Wonder Boy III, Dragon's trap is as beautiful as it is unique. The hand-drawn art, seamless transition from modern to retro graphics (complete with nostalgic tweaks like grid lines, old monitor effects, and retro sound), and simple yet cool story create a gorgeous and challenging game that has only gotten better with age. Even the game case art is beautiful, and to mimic the games reversible aesthetics, the cover insert is reversible; brilliant. As if that wasn't enough of a reason to purchase this title, the physical copy also comes with a high quality dragon key-chain and mini disc copy of the soundtrack (which is also fantastic.

Really fun platformer
Great game for the Switch. Multiple animals you can turn into like in Shantae. Lots of hidden areas to discover. Game is not super long but has some challenging areas. Boss fights are great just the right difficulty. Music is amazing. Highly recommend it.
