User Reviews

Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap is praised for its faithful and visually stunning remake of the classic game with excellent artwork and music. However, multiple users report significant control issues, especially when using external controllers, leading to crashes and input glitches. Audio popping and delayed sounds are common complaints. Performance varies by device, with some experiencing lag on less powerful hardware. Overall, it's a beloved classic with quality visuals but hampered on Android by technical and control-related bugs that reduce the playability for controller users.

Pros

Faithful and high-quality remake of the classic Master System game, with updated graphics and music.
Beautiful Eurocomic art style and fantastic soundtrack that appeals to both old and new gamers.
Customizable touch screen controls, allowing resizing and repositioning of buttons.
Gameplay is solid and retains the charm and mechanics of the original game.

Cons

Frequent crashes when using external USB-C controllers and certain gamepads, leading to frustration for controller users.
Control issues such as input lag, unresponsive or erratic button behavior, and glitches during platforming sections.
Audio problems reported, including audio popping and noticeable delays.
Performance problems on some devices, causing lag or slow gameplay—requires sufficiently powerful hardware.
Lack of options to adjust display settings like screen ratio, resulting in cropped UI elements on some phones.

Recent reviews

I enjoyed the game briefly on my older device. Unfortunately, it was rashing with external controller connected. It was also impossible for me to play the game on newer hardware, because the app is not compatible with newer devices (Android 13). I would really appreciate updating the game, so I could enjoy the game to its fullest.

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
