By プラットフォーマーズ - Platformers - July 27, 2019

“【日本語対応】『スーパーワンダーボーイモンスターワールド』シリーズの『西澤龍一』氏が手掛ける探索型横スクロールアクションアドベンチャー。主人公の持つ変身能力を活用する事で探索可能範囲が広がっていくといった要素もしっかりしているが、今作は全体的にアクションプラットフォーマーとしての性質が強いマップ構成になっている。比較的序盤から全て習得できる魔法を活用して戦うボス戦も非常に魅力的だ。”

“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
