About Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap

Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap begins with a curse. Transformed into a half-human, half-lizard monstrosity by the Meka-Dragon, you set out in search of a cure, and the only path back to human form runs through the Salamander Cross, a magical item with the power to lift curses. To make matters worse, every dragon you slay intensifies the curse, reshaping you into different animals along the way.

As you explore large, interconnected locations filled with grumpy monsters and exotic dragons, those transformations become the key to progress. You can play as the game's classic hero Hu-Man or as his brand-new, long-awaited co-star Hu-Girl, and inhabit forms like Lizard-Man, Mouse-Man, Piranha-Man, Lion-Man, and Hawk-Man, each with unique abilities that unlock the land's deepest secrets.

Three difficulty levels cater to players of all types, making this action-adventure platformer approachable for newcomers and veterans alike. A standout touch lets you switch between modern graphics and sound and their 8-bit counterparts at any time, even mid-gameplay. Blending indie charm with family-friendly appeal, this PC platformer pairs classic gameplay with a stylish modern makeover.
