    Would not recommend for most people.

    Keyboard/mouse controls are bugged and frequently don't register inputs. The game is probably better with a controller. Other annoying bugs in the game. The bugs make it so that some solutions seem impossible until you see them solved and you realize you just have to keep trying to overcome the bug. The further I get in the game, the more    Would not recommend for most people.

    The further I get in the game, the more I'm convinced the people who made this game are a** holes.

    They also waste your time with stupid stuff at some points.

    If you like doing things over and over and over and over and over and over again, this is the game for you.

    Frequently nondescript and often nonsensical. There is a useful instruction booklet that is not included inside the game menu. I discovered it after "completing" the game.

    I don't really like the aspect that you can be trying to "solve a puzzle" not knowing that it's not solvable till later in the game.

    If you just want to relax and have fun I wouldn't recommend this.

    If you're desperate for an extremely cryptic multidimensional puzzle game to challenge you, then you'd probably like this. If you think life isn't hard, frustrating, and stressful enough so you need games to make up for the missing hardship, then pick this one.

    I interpret this game as the developers making a personal attack on my well-being.    … Expand

    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.

    Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom is a great action/platform that ideally touches on both nostalgia and the modern way of creating a quality Metroidvania game.

    Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom has a lot going for it, but its frustrations and pacing issues are a detriment to the overall experience.
