A little promoted videogame based on an unknown movie that has become a surprise. Good scenarios, charismatic characters and a gameplay with nothing to envy to other titles of the genre.
A very charming adventure reminiscent of the first PlayStation platformers... In both the good and the bad things. Monkey King: Hero Is Back captures the essence of the film it is based on, and although it is not revolutionary, it manages to be fun until the very end.

It is an absolute delight to see a game with so much charm. Everything is reminiscent **** of the PS2 era, but it is very refined and obviously has better graphics. The combat is fun and it's just a blast to play through the lush environments, listen to the relaxing music and try to find all the secrets. This game took me by surprise and I can't praise it enough.
I wish we could get more games like this.

It’s a bit simple, so it’s never going to excite in the same way that God of War or Devil May Cry V does, but that doesn’t mean some won’t get a decent amount of enjoyment out of it.
Monkey King: Hero is Back doesn't present a challenge nor an interesting story, it's a game for younger players who want to punch monsters in the face, although the high price point compared to its content doesn’t help as well.
Monkey King Hero is back is an unfortunate throwback to a bygone era where tie-ins where made to capitalize on the appeal of their licenses, without any effort to make them enjoyable games.
Monkey King: Hero is Back is a game that you should consider only if you are an avid fan of the Chinese movie of the same name, eventually relying on a strong post launch discount.
Sadly, what little fun there is to be had with Monkey King: Hero Is Back is constantly ruined with poor level design, repetitive encounters and annoying sound design.
I do love the game art design, full of ancient oriental culture elements. The little boy is pretty cute. It's happy to see a Chinese IP has been gamelized into console and PC game, with the tight fight system. I'll strongly recommend to my friends!

At a sale price, this game is a solid, replayable action platformer. I wouldn't recommend it at full price, but anywhere from $10 to $20? You get a solid action game with some charm.

If your intention is to give this game to your kid or just a younger sibling, go ahead. This game is great for them and I bet I would have loved every pixel of it 20 years ago.
Now, for a broader audience, for an adequate price, I would still recommend the game. Even though the combat is a little easy for an avid gamer, it's decent enough and Monkey’s adventure has a ton of charm.

Infelizmente é só mais um jogo chato e genérico com personagens sem graça, o visual também não me agradou nem um pouco, poderiam ter feito tudo de outra forma, porque assim ficou horrível.

just like a action game before 2005 and the process is boring and enemies and boss design is duplicate and nothing interesting.

Summary A new chapter in the Chinese legend of Journey to the West is about to unfold! Based on the animated film Monkey King: Hero Is Back, this adaptation pits the Great Sage himself, Sun Wukong, newly freed after 500 years of imprisonment, with Liuer, a young boy who looks up to the Monkey King in a journey that brings them close together.
