If you're a long-time mobile gamer, you might fondly remember the retro-styled Metroidvania, Tiny Dangerous Dungeons, which hit the scene about a decade ago. Exciting news for fans: it's making a comeback as Tiny Dangerous Dungeons Remake, and it's set to launch on March 7th for both iOS and Android devices. If you're eager to dive back into this nostalgic world, pre-registration is currently open, making sure you don't miss out on the release date.
Back in 2015, when the original game was released, Harry Slater gave it a commendable 4-star review, highlighting its fresh take on the classic Game Boy feel. The remake, however, introduces a vibrant change. The once-sepia-toned graphics have been revamped into a more colorful palette, maintaining the old-school charm but with a visual flair that's more engaging and less tied to the specific Game Boy aesthetic.
A Whole New World
This shift to a more colorful look is a welcome change, enhancing the nostalgic appeal while making the game visually more appealing. But the visual update is just the beginning. Developer Jussi Simpanen has also introduced a new soundtrack and refined the game's physics, addressing some of the minor criticisms from the original release. Moreover, the remake boasts new content with the titular dungeon now twice its original size and featuring five additional bosses. While the developer keeps some secrets under wraps, players can look forward to discovering new elements within the game.
Tiny Dangerous Dungeons Remake will be a premium title available for $3.99 or your local equivalent. You can pre-order it on the App Store and Google Play, ensuring you're ready to explore this expanded and rejuvenated world come March 7th.
