Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom is a great time, even with the few bumps it does possess in the gameplay. The game’s story, while I only had a few hours to play with it, was attention-grabbing from the start and tied in with mostly smooth controlling gameplay elements quite nicely.

Pros

  •  Reactive and fast-paced combat, as well as controls
  • The cutesy but well-animated art style
  • Good puzzle difficulty

Cons

  • Minor input delays can cause moves not to happen as they should

DarkLunarDude gives Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom a Drastik Measure of 8.5 out of 10.0 (85)

For the price of $39.99 on the PlayStation Network, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom sets itself apart from other platformers of the same genre.
