Hey guys, Wonder Boy is back and ready to head off on another adventure. Care to join him?

Available to purchase right now on Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch is Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap – a game full of exploration, action and adventure.

Recreated for a more modern gamer, the cult classic that is Wonder Boy doesn’t hold back, delivering beautiful visuals and a soundtrack to die for. With multiple difficulty levels, the option to switch in and out of both the modern and retro visuals on the fly, and the chance to become not just Hu-Man (or Hu-Girl), but also all manner of animal-men hybrids, if you’ve been looking for a new adventure to partake in, then Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap may just be it.

If you wish to know more, then we advise you hit up our full review. It’s just this minute gone live!

As always, the Xbox Games Store will be able to sort all Xbox One gamers out. Those on other formats will need to hit up their own digital store.

Game Description:

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 as his brand-new, long-awaited co-star Hu-Girl. 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!

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore. Gamertag is neil363, feel free to add me to your list.
