Dragon’s Lair 2: Time Warp is the sequel to the groundbreaking arcade original. Join Dirk the Daring as he travels through time to stop the Evil Wizard Mordroc from marrying Princess Daphne. This mobile version features fully remastered HD video, achievements, and the choice between the Original Arcade version or the Director’s Cut with an alternate ending.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

76/100

Dragon’s Lair 2: Time Warp is a fascinating piece of gaming history. As a port of the legendary Don Bluth-animated arcade game, it’s less of a 'game' in the modern sense and more of a playable cartoon. The animation is still breathtaking, filled with the whimsy and dark undertones that Bluth is famous for. You play as Dirk the Daring, navigating surreal time periods to save Princess Daphne.

The gameplay consists of high-stakes Quick Time Events (QTEs). While this can be frustrating—one wrong move often means instant death—the mobile port makes it more accessible with optional move guides and infinite lives. It’s notoriously difficult and requires trial-and-error memorization, but the reward is seeing some of the most beautiful hand-drawn animation ever put into a game. If you're a fan of the original or an animation buff, this is a perfect, high-definition trip down memory lane.

Great game. One stars please read

For all of you who are complaining about the game sending you back to the beginning. IT IS SUPPOSED TO. Your probably too young to have played it in the arcade. But unless you grab ALL of the secret objects such as the key when you first get the time machine. Or the BUTTERFLY when the cat breathes fire (There is some in every stage). You can’t go to the end Quit assuming the developers or the game itself is messed up. This is a great port. I’m sure you can find a guide to get all the secrets

CLASSIC

I remember when I was 15 me and a friend would play for hours!! Game went away and never seen it again. Glad to have it my hand now!!! Thank you!

Game is fun till you reach level 6 😡

Everything starts out good till you reach the “mummies all around” level. Once you reach the end of the level the game pauses on its own and then it restarts to the first level when you select continue. I guess I can’t finish this game and I’m out of luck on a refund for waiting a while to finally have time to play this thing.... (Game is running on a iPhone 8 Plus with the latest iOS version)

It does have unlimited lives!!

I made a review saying their should be unlimited lives. Turns out there always was unlimited lives. PLEASE IGNORE MY LAST REVIEW AS IT HAS FALSE INFORMATION.

I can’t get the treasures
Tue Jan 05 2021 coolgamerkid😎

I’m playing the game and I am trying to collect the treasures but it won’t let me I see the treasures and I tap on them to collect them but it won’t work and instead it makes me die can you please fix this😠😠😡🤬

Game resets half way through
Tue Mar 19 2019 Dont go !!!!

Loved playing the game thought 4.99 was worth it untill you're playing and then allll of a-sudden it comes up saying the game is paused and restarts you to the beginning so you can never finish the game total waist of 5 bucks very disappointing!!

Fix the end of the mummy board
Sat Dec 08 2018 Acestro

December 2018 and they still haven’t fixed this. The game ends abruptly and you can’t play the last two series. Very annoying in an otherwise cool game.

I was almost to the end!!
Sat Oct 13 2018 Treebyriver

I was almost to the end And the game paused and then sent me back to the beginning! That is crap I paid for this app and that should not happen at all!!! I am very upset!
