“碎碎念工坊:总体来讲《怪物男孩》,绝对是笔者近些年玩过的日式动作冒险类游戏中的优秀作品,无论是画面、音乐,还是游戏操作性与玩法都是非常优秀的,这要是让各位玩家朋友们错过了,那就真的是太可惜了。如果你喜欢这种搞笑又欢快,积极又阳光的小清新画风;如果你喜欢类银河恶魔城式的游戏玩法;如果你喜欢丰富多样的玩法并且喜欢有趣的解谜谜题,那么本作一定会非常适合你的。”

“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
