By DEV RULES July 26, 2019

“属于我觉得在Steam必买的那种。什么精妙的关卡设计、有特点的敌人、只要摸清楚套路就能完虐的Boss战、多种多样能够改变游戏玩法的道具技能装备等等，这些类银魔城有的《怪物男孩》都有，不只是如此，连人物都能改变，真不知道还有什么不能变的。

这类游戏往往看起来杂乱无章四通八达，但其实就像是齿轮一样紧紧的连接在一起，有条不紊各司其职的工作着，每次这种「一体感」都能让我通体舒畅，在我心里该作高于赤痕。”

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
