Side-scrolling heaven
||Posted .Owned for 8 months when reviewed.A hefty quest if you like side-scrollers, Metroid-vania, old-school type of games. Clocks in at 25-30 hours with plenty of hidden collectibles. The art is vibrant and the game runs at a smooth 60fps without any hiccups, even at the busiest scenes. Awesome music with that classic 16-bit feel. Combat is creative, varying with the different transformations. Puzzles use these transformations often to make you think a bit. All around great game, not too difficult.

Outstanding entry to the Wonder Boy series
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Monster Boy improves on everything the previous games are known for. Its a metroidvania style game with a map completion style. It plays exactly like wonder boy and the dragons trap with many more options. You can wield many different weapons, armor, etc. Many that actually serve specific purposes to unlock secrets and get through levels. Monster Boy is heavily puzzle driven with many challenging puzzles to solve for 100 percent completion. The game looks beautiful and supports the traditional wonder boy soundtracks. Its a must buy for anyone that loves this series. Its roughly 20-30 hours to complete.

An instant classic
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Monster Boy harkens back to the SNES era of games, but at the same time brings in some new mechanics to make a enjoyable experience and one that will be a cult hit in years to come. If you were ever a fan of the Wonder Boy series which this game is a sequel too or a fan of Metroidvania games. Then you owe it to yourself to go out and purchase this gem. It can be frustrating and difficult at times, but the challenge is in knowing the mechanics and the timing and repetition of the enemies.

A classic
||Posted .I am enjoying this game. I did not play much of the Wonder Boy series, but this game is awesome. The anime intro and the music is awesome. This game will be overlooked but it should not. It is a platformer and you can transform into different animals. If you are hesitant give it a chance. I highly recommend it.

Perfect metroidvania
||Posted .This is one of the best games I've played from 2018. The game is gorgeous and the soundtrack is very catchy. The game handles perfectly so the platforming and combat feel just right. The puzzles are really clever and make great use of ability combinations. The pacing is also great, I never felt that any area or mechanic dragged on too long. It took me around 15 hours to reach 100% and it was a very satisfying platinum trophy.

Great Metroidvania Game
||Posted .If you love metroidvania games or action games of the past like Popful Mail then you'll love this. Great controls, animation with good level designs built around puzzle solving. A few negatives hold it back from 5 stars. First is the sounds effects, as there is little when it comes to the ambiance sound effects. If you turn off the music then you'll be left with a very quiet game. The next one is the range of some of the characters attack, in short, they are...too short. All in all this is a far superior game than Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap. Get t. Cheers.

Colorful and fun platformer
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This game is a very fun platformer with amazing graphics. I felt like I was playing a Saturday morning cartoon! I like how there are little secrets to find in every area, and I love being able to play as different animal characters with different abilities.
