Chalgyr's Game RoomMarc HurstJul 20189.8/10This is the dragon's curse remake that we SHOULD have gotten, in lieu of the flash-graphic-esque monstrosity that we were served. I highly recommend this game to everyone that likes the style.

Nintendo LifePJ O'ReillyMay 20198/10Overall, this is a great little retro adventure that doesn't outstay its welcome.
