"Tiny Dangerous Dungeons Remake: A Fresh Take on Classic Metroidvania Charm"

by Camila Apr 04,2025

If you're a long-time mobile gamer, you might remember the delightful retro-styled Metroidvania, Tiny Dangerous Dungeons, which was released about a decade ago. Well, get ready for a surprise because it's making a comeback as Tiny Dangerous Dungeons Remake, and it's set to launch on March 7th for both iOS and Android. If you're eager to dive back into this nostalgic gem, pre-registration is open now, so you won't miss out on the release date.

Back in 2015, when the original game hit the market, Harry Slater gave it a glowing 4-star review, applauding its fresh take on the genre while evoking the warm, fuzzy feelings that Game Boy fans cherish. However, the remake introduces a significant visual shift. The sepia tones of the original have been replaced with a more vibrant and colorful palette, maintaining the old-school charm but moving away from the specific Game Boy aesthetic.

This change in visuals isn't just for show. The more colorful aesthetic not only evokes nostalgia but also makes the game more visually engaging. Developer Jussi Simpanen hasn't stopped at just a facelift; the game now boasts a brand-new soundtrack and enhanced physics, addressing some of the minor issues noted in the original release. Moreover, the remake offers new content to explore, with the titular dungeon now twice its original size and featuring five additional bosses. While there are hints of new secrets to uncover, the developer is keeping those under wraps for now.

Tiny Dangerous Dungeons Remake is available for pre-order on the App Store and Google Play ahead of its March 7th launch. Priced at $3.99 or your local equivalent, this premium experience promises to deliver both nostalgia and fresh excitement to fans old and new.
