If you enjoyed Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap, and until maybe someday we return to Monster Land for a new adventure, you may want to know about those other titles in the series:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1420080/Wonder_Boy_Asha_in_Monster_World
Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World is a remake of the beautiful Monster World 4, previously only released in Japan in 1994. Members of the original Westone team such as Ryuichi Nishizawa and Shinichi Sakamoto, among others, worked on this 3D remake.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/449610a/Monster_Boy_and_the_Cursed_Kingdom
Monster Boy is a whole new game by our friends at Game Atelier / FDG Entertainment, released shortly after our Dragon's Trap. It has been designed in cooperation and includes elements from other Wonder Boy games (such as everyone's favorite pig becoming playable!). This is an ambitious modern take and love letter to the open-world Wonder Boy genre, with large levels, puzzles, playable characters and everything you'd imagine if the Wonder Boy series carried to the 32-bits era with nice 2D graphics!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1112240/Wonder_Boy_Returns_Remix
Wonder Boy Returns Remix is a remake of the original and first Wonder Boy Arcade title, which eventually got features on countless platforms back in the days. Unlike later title with pivoted the series into its action-adventure-rpg blend, this is an old school arcade game involving riding a skateboard, throwing hammers at skate, grabbing fruits and finding secret dolls. A classic well revisited and re-imagined by CFK.

Hope you'll enjoy them!

And in case you didn't hear what Lizardcube and Dotemu was up to after Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap, we released Streets of Rage 4 last year, and this year an ambitious DLC "Mr. X Nightmare" this year with a really fun and interesting rogue-lite survival mode:

Monster Land is calling you...

Dear adventurers,

We have now updated the PC version of the game to support Traditional Chinese!

This translation was brought to us by Carlos Chen, a member of the community, and we are very happy to add it into the game today. Thank you!

With those in, the pig and nurse now speak 12 languages! :)

Best curses,

The team.

Dear adventurers,

We've updated the PC version of the game again with 2 new languages: Polish and Swedish, brought us by members of the community. Monster Land is taking over the world, language by language! :)

The Swedish version was localized by Anton Regnander!

The Polish version was localized by Kacper Kozłowski and his group FateSick!







In addition we made some small fixes to the game:
- Fixed audio stuttering on some configuration (we changed the default audio buffer value in Settings.cfg, please delete your configuration file if you were affected by this issue!)
- Minor display fix in the DirectInput gamepad configuration screen.

With those in, the pig and nurse now speak 11 languages! :)

The team.

Good day all :)

Because the joy of monster land have no boundaries, we've updated the PC version of the game to support 2 more languages: Russian and Simplified Chinese! Those translations were brought to us by members of the community and we are very happy to add them into the game today.

The Russian version was localized by Alex Khayrullin!

The Chinese version was localized by the Project Gutenberg team at Indienova! Big thanks to west, SisseL, Canny, craft and alwaysmadowl for their joint work on this.
You can check their other work and projects there:

We've now added a Retro-styled Inventory!





You can enable it under Options>Retro. We didn't enable it by default as the Retro Inventory only supports English at the moment. Let us know what you think!


We have made some internal change to the engine to make it easier for people to provide and maintain language mods. Some third-party mods have been in the work for Russian, Chinese Simplified, etc. Check out for the modding/hacking discussion forum where current and future creator may post them!

Traply yours,
The Lizardcube and DotEmu teams.

Hello all :)




The game will be available as native Mac and Linux apps on July 18th!

Ported by Ethan Lee (flibitijibibo.com), who brought plenty of games to those systems (FEZ, Flinthook, Bastion, Transistor, Shenzen I/O or Super Hexagon…), the game will be available next week for both Mac and Linux! You can wishlist the game on Steam, and if you already bought it for Windows it will work on your other computer platforms.


The long awaited and much requested Soundtrack arrives today on Steam and Bandcamp (and soon on PlayStation 4)! Mr Nishizawa helped us sort out the rights for a standalone release :)

And because we are mad and we love you, we made it a two hours long, voluptous 89-tracks album, and it is only $4.99! If you buy or already bought the Steam version it is $3.99. On Bandcamp it is €5 + pay what you want.

Both are DRM free (on Steam you get both MP3 and FLAC, on Bandcamp you can choose from a variety of formats). The Steam MP3+FLAC package is about 1 Gigabyte, so if you only want MP3 you can download it, copy the files out of the Steam folder and then disable the DLC.

The 33 main tracks total over an hour of the game’s music, featuring live musicians performing with a wide variety of styles and instruments. The 56 bonus tracks comprise an exclusive extra hour of alternate versions, sketches, unused and/or rejected material, offering insight into the maddening creative process that has hit the team during development.
