The Epic Games Store continues its freebie streak, and the latest weekly drop carries a copy of Wonder Boy: The Dragon"s Trap as a replacement for last week"s Killing Floor 2 and Ancient Enemy.
Coming in as a remake of the 1989 title Wonder Boy III, this platforming action-adventure game has you taking the role of an adventurer who is cursed to be a half-human, half-lizard being. While gameplay and level designs are the same as the original, the hand-drawn art, animations, and orchestral soundtrack are completely new.
Here"s how the developer describes the setting:
Cursed into a half-human, half-lizard monstrosity by the Meka-Dragon, you are in search for a cure! The only way you can return to human form is to find the Salamander Cross, a magical item with the power to remove curses…
Without a sale, Wonder Boy: The Dragon"s Trap costs $19.99 to buy outright. Here are the minimum requirements:
- OS: Windows 7
- Processor: Any
- Memory: 4 GB RAM
- Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000-5000 series (game in 720p)
