“游戏无处不透露着精致,用心,从场景表现细节到关卡设计用心,游戏多变身设定在游戏内逐步解锁以打开新探索区域的玩法是银河城惯例了,但是本作在解锁玩法,不同变身的独特魅力上下足了功夫,在反复探索之余也能一直让人对曾经去过的地图保持新鲜感与探索感,在解密引导上做到相当好的指引,本作给我个人有很浓的任天堂式设计风格,要素收集的元素相当丰富,剧情上大纲虽然俗套但是发展上完全不会觉得无聊,老少咸宜,乐在其中”

“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
