Although the mechanics are nothing revolutionary, I will say that I appreciated the graphics for their old-school flavor and intense pan-Asian iconography.

It's a poor effort that needed a lot more polish, and less last-minute presentation changes. I really wish they'd stuck with that original art.

UFO should be applauded for offering a full retail release of The Monkey King, but we can’t recommend a purchase in good conscience, even if it were a five dollar download. The Monkey King is monkey crap.
