Is Dungeon Kid still worth playing in 2026?

An action platformer from Quest and Takara, Dungeon Kid sends a young explorer through colorful dungeons peopled with monsters, blending jumps, combat and collecting in levels of rising difficulty. The childish direction and the accessible pace aim at a young audience, in a Japanese platformer kept obscure. The presentation stays modest and the formula simple. A curiosity for fans of overlooked NES platforming and explorers of the console's forgotten Famicom catalog.
