    Wonderboy and the Dragons Trap I pre ordered and was a fair price.. I got it because I was a fan of the Master System game that I once completed.. Fond memories :) Anyway I see Monster Boy on PSN and thought a lil bit pricey.. When cheaper I will get it as it complements the Wonderboy and the Dragons Trap remake.

      That would make so much sense.
      The cartoony vibe of the game would fit right in with that kind of hand drawn graphics.

    I know the $40 price tag is a little off putting but the game is phenomenal. I'm about halfway through and have really been enjoying it. The first run copies come with a manual and sticker set so if you're interested in that stuff grab it now.

    Despite what you or many other people have said or that they even just think this game is basically a new Wonder Boy game it really is even when you finally access the map there's a little thing that says Monster World so this is an actual sequel there's even a chapel that has Stained Glass portraits of every character from every Wonderboy or Monster World game up till now.

    Does it only take inspiration/cues from wonder boy 3, or does it also pay hommage to momster world on genesis?
    Great review by the way!

    • @Hmbs271
      @Hmbs271 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It generally is made to pay homage and continue the legacy of the Monster World series (Monster World IV included), also Wonder Boy III remake was developed separately so they're not necessarily that connected other than the shared roots. The original creator of MW series was onboard on developing Monster Boy too.
      Edit: I might've misunderstood you talking about the newly released Wonder Boy III Remake

    @JoeBee9 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Tried the game and I love the throwback to Wonderboy III and I strongly agree with the lush visuals. However, the combat mechanics have not aged well; I don’t feel fluidity in control when you can only stab straight forward and enemies attack at all angles. I wish it had omnidirectional stabbing even if it’s different from what it’s referencing.
