The classic platformer genre may have seen a dip in popularity, but it still holds a special place on mobile devices for fans of jumping, dodging, and shooting. A perfect example of this enduring appeal is the relaunch of the beloved Metroidvania-style platformer with the release of Tiny Dangerous Dungeons Remake, now available on iOS and Android!
Interestingly, Tiny Dangerous Dungeons Remake pays homage to its retro roots in an unexpected way. The game transitions from the monochrome Game Boy's black and green aesthetic to a vibrant 16-bit console look, giving it the feel of a true rerelease from the golden era of gaming. Beyond the graphical upgrade, this version is a thoroughly reworked, revamped, and enhanced iteration of the original, smoothing out many of the previous game's rough edges.
Our reviewer, Jack Brassel, pointed out one significant drawback: the absence of controller support. This is a notable issue for platformer enthusiasts, as evidenced by experiences with games like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. However, Tiny Dangerous Dungeons Remake compensates with a more forgiving difficulty level, making it accessible to a wider audience.
If you're in the mood for pure platforming action infused with Metroidvania elements, Tiny Dangerous Dungeons Remake is a must-try. The game's graphical enhancements provide richly colored pixel art that's easy on the eyes and not too demanding on your device's resources.
The lack of controller support is a notable issue, but there's hope it may be rectified in future updates.
