Inspired by the Sega Master System's classic
Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap,
Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom is developed by Game Atelier and published by FDG Games, and will be releasing for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One this
December.
Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom is a 2D platformer with action-adventure elements, and with beautiful graphics and hand-drawn animations—which give the game a very cartoon-like, and unique art style akin to that seen in the
Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap HD remake.
The game was also made in cooperation with Ryuichi Nishizawa, creator of the
Wonder Boy series, who has been overseeing the project since its early stages of development and also gave his thumbs up to the developers of
Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap HD remake, so it is fair to say that
Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom is in great hands.
Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom did see a couple of setbacks, though, that have been pushing back the release date, but the publisher has announced that the game will finally be meeting its deadline as the game has just gone Gold and is ready to launch on the
4th of December.
