Introduction
Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap is a beautifully remade version of the 1989 cult classic, blending hand-drawn animation, a fully re-orchestrated soundtrack, and retro gameplay with modern flair. This action-adventure platformer offers a rich blend of exploration and combat, with a clever transformation mechanic at its core.
After being cursed by the Meka-Dragon, you're turned into a half-human, half-lizard creature. To lift the curse and reclaim your humanity, you must embark on a perilous journey to find the legendary Salamander Cross. But each dragon you defeat only deepens the curse—transforming you into a new creature with unique abilities that reshape how you navigate the world.
