In terms of artstyle and animations, i prefer the remake Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap.
It had much more care put into it, visually.
But Cursed Kingdom still looks...decent, and it expands on the ideas of the original.
In my opinion, if you have to get one, you need to get both.
They're only worth it if you own both, so you get the best of both worlds.

Wonder Boy was worth it because it was only $10. They're asking $40 for this though and that's pretty steep.

If you like the older wonder boy games or things like shantae/zelda 2 you'll enjoy this a lot. If not, don't bother. Since Dragon's Trap was a 1-to-1 remake of an old game, I thought this one would go all out updating the formula. With the exception of changing forms on the fly, which is a fantastic addition, everything else in terms of level design, story progression, and blatant padding feel super archaic. It's all by design to feel "authentic" to the old games, and as a love letter it serves very well, but that was really unnecessary when Dragon's Trap came out a year prior

Just wait, it'll go on sale for sure.

It's because of the unique situation this game found itself in.
It started as a completely different fan game that was meant to be a homage, and then suddently they got the full rights to the IP, so they made it much more faithful at that point to capitalize on the IP itself.
So we got two games that are extremely similiar out of sorta coincidence.

I understand how it came to be and don't blame the team of either project, I just hope that we get a truly modern Wonder Boy project out of all this. I feel like a remake of Monster World 4 is much more likely though
To be fair Monster Boy Cursed Kingdom is at least twice as long. Expect to spend at least 15 hours with it.

One was a remake, one was a brand new game and is also one of the best in the exploration platformer genre.
