Reception

Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom may come as a surprise for some but the game's overall quality design and structure quickly become obvious, especially to fans of 2D platformers and metroidvania-style games. With its good level design, high quality cartoonish art style and several mechanics from its predecessor, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom...

It was so refreshing to see a game like this, especially one that plays and looks as great as it does. Any fan of 2D action games should pick this game up without question, and don’t worry if you’ve never played this series before, I was able to enjoy it fully with absolutely no knowledge of it.

ZTGD,

Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom is one of the best surprises of 2018. A great adventure that everyone should play.

Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom is the great revival of a series that has disappeared from the scenes for too long, and the unequivocal demonstration that classic approaches and structures can find space in today's videogame landscape.

Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom pays homage to the legacy of the Wonder Boy series by refining the solid foundations of those games and forging an excellent metroidvania.
