Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom

I resumed this game after a few years after being stuck. once you get the first orb everything will be better

A Rip-Roaring Adventure that is very Rip-Roaring!

Game feels full of 'gotcha' moments over and over and over again - enemies are timed perfectly to knock you off ledges or into crap, or into mud which means you can barely move and inevitably get hit by the next 'funny' thing. Compare this to Wonder Boy 3 : The Dragon's Trap, which it clearly is 'inspired' by - WB3 was damn near perfect made by people who wanted their players to have fun. This however is made by cnts who just want to piss people off.

It has been a great while since i have found a game that was genuinely fun and this is exactly that. it takes all the good things from Wonderboy dragons trap and makes it waaay better. I am not over selling it if you enjoyed any of the Wonderboy in monster world games give this a go you will absolutely not be dissapointed.

I didn't enjoy the game as much as anticipated. In fact, I found it quite annoying for the most part. It looks and sounds like the old Wonderboy games, and while it shares many mechanics with its predecessors, the gameplay is quite different. Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom has become a difficult platformer game where frustration awaits you. The difficulty has nothing to do with the old games, as there are a lot of trial and error involved, just be aware of that. On top of that, and as if it wasn't challenging enough, you will have to deal with monsters that have been strategically situated around, adding more frustration. If that aspect of the game doesn't scare you off, then you will fully enjoy it, otherwise, I would suggest Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap instead. That being said, the scenario is amusing, the game looks great and it's always a pleasure to listen to the old theme music. Also, some puzzles and secrets are pretty smart. Not what I was personally expecting.
