A lengthy vania with an incredible catchy soundtrack and pretty 2D aestetics.
Aside from a few annoying puzzles and some transformations being more fun than others it's a fun run for vania fans I'd absolutely recommend.

got about six hours in and just really didn't feel like continuing. The games fun and all, but nothing has really hooked me and all the transformations feel incredibly basic. The movement itself also isn't very fun and nothing about the story is engaging. Presentation is great tho!

Difficulty: 4/10
My time: around 18 hours
Platinum N°: 148

Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom is a metroidvania game where you must traverse a kingdom whose population has been turned into animals, and you must catch the culprit and restore everything back to normal. Along the way, you will gain the ability to transform into a pig, a snake, a lion, a dragon, and a frog, each with unique abilities that will allow you to solve puzzles and overcome challenges to progress.

The path to the platinum trophy consists of exploring the map 100%, finding all the hearts, opening all the chests in the game, completing the secret dungeon, obtaining all the pieces of the golden set, among other things.

I really enjoyed this game, the puzzles are varied and some are quite challenging. The animations and characters are also well-done, making it a game that is definitely worth playing.

This game was so silly, heartwarming, and fun! I really enjoy this series, and this is probably my favorite entry in the series. Contender for my favorite game played this year.

Awesome return to the Wonder Boy series that mostly satisfied me, feels like a natural step up for the series. Some of the music is REEEEEEALLY good

Metroidvania agradável, mas não muito difícil.
