Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap 9+

Controller support

Game is awesome, I never played the original and have no nostalgia or love for the series. However this is a fun remake and it’s awesome that I can switch to the original graphics and sound on the fly. My main and only gripe is that I can’t play it with my MFI Razer Kishi. Please add support for other popular controllers. Frankly since it’s an MFI controller I’m surprised that it doesn’t already work. Apparently DS4 and xbox controllers are all that work. Backbone doesn’t seem to work either.

Hard for the wrong reasons

This game is clearly fun, he level design is good and you feel the old-game nostalgia when playing.
But... the format on iPhone is just awful. NOTHING justify this format. The game do not use any smartphone features in particular. Worse, the controls are horrendous since you alternate between plate-form puzzles and monsters fights. The game itself isn’t hard, but you keep on dying because the controls make everything harder. I do not mind hard game when the level design is thought this way (ex: Hollow Night). However here I feel like it’s not the developers intentions, it just feel like a lazy attempt to remaster an old good game on iOS to make some $$$ without even wondering if this format is even appropriate for the gameplay. Well, it’s not, it’s just incredibly frustrating. If you’re looking for some challenge, go ahead, but be aware it might not be the kind of challenge you are looking for.

Hello,

Thank you for your message. Could you please tell us more, what are precisely your issues regarding the controls, at support@dotemu.com please? Best regards.

Freezes

At different points in the game it freezes and then continues to freeze at Game Center login! Only option is to uninstall and reinstall losing all progress. Great game can’t wait to actually play it!

Responding to the developer response.... this has been an “unknown issue” for months if you look at all the reviews before mine that have the same issue.

Thankfully the issue has become slightly less frequent and I was able to complete the game which is actually pretty great so I’ll bump up to 3 stars, but still has some bugs to work out.
