Reviews

“Brilliant design in terms of the world and its levels; Great attention to detail; Every second is important and there's no fat. Game Atelier has achieved what they set out to do; prove that a classic game can fit perfectly in the modern world.”
9/10 – Gamereactor

“An excellent platformer and action game, with a smart metroidvania layer on the top. It looks to the Wonder Boy classics, but still maintains the focus on achieving a modern game, with a good gameplay variety and deep. A complete surprise.”
9/10 – 3DJuegos

“Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom not only pays faithful homage to Wonder Boy, particularly The Dragon's Trap, but by refining the solid foundations of its spiritual predecessors with modern affordances, it becomes a rich platforming adventure in its own right.”
8/10 – Gamespot
