Dragon's Lair Trilogy

The controls are responsive, and the quick time mechanics are perfect for the games style. The games difficulty is extremely hard, so the added options to dumb down the challenge is a welcomed addition, as to the ability to play through without skipping scenes from the games, something the originals never had. This is definitely worth picking up if you’re a fan of the original Dragon’s Lair, for nostalgic reasons and for a one not to miss title for ID@Xbox.

Overall this is a great remake of three wonderfully animated and enjoyable games, just don’t expect that you are going to get hours and hours of enjoyment out of them, it is likely to be a little shortlived.

As games, the titles in Dragon Lair Trilogy are awful, but as interactive experiences, they still have some value.

Being that these games came out as a novelty for the sole purpose of draining quarters, these are beyond brutal, almost to a ridiculous degree in the case of the two Dragon’s Lair titles. Thankfully, the QOL features are a fantastic way of making sure that any newcomer will see the endings to all three of these games if they keep throwing themselves at the game, and more diehard fans have the option of playing these in the original fashion if need be.

GREAT - Dragon’s Lair Trilogy is a collection of beautifully animated arcade classics that stand the test of time. They were great back in the day, and they play great on the Nintendo Switch. Everything from the classic arcade games has been preserved in the trilogy collection, and it even has some extra features, customizable options, and deleted scenes not used in the arcade versions.

Despite the dated, simple, yet sometimes challenging gameplay, the drive to see Dirk’s and Ace’s adventures through is what makes these games great.

Granted, by today’s standards Dragons Lair may even be considered as a pretty awful game in every angle outside its drop-dead gorgeous Disney-flavoured smut. However, Dragon’s Lair Trilogy is another important slice of gaming history and one that can now be added to the growing museum on the Nintendo Switch.

A game that shows it's age on regards to it's mechanics, but one that still is as beautiful as 36 years ago.

This trilogy of cult arcade classic is still visually charming, but the gameplay of these games didn't aged that well.

Dragon’s Lair Trilogy is an excellent collection of some the very best arcade games ever made. Sure, the games are a bit of a challenge. You may even get overwhelmed with frustration and walk away from them!
