MONSTER BOY AND THE CURSED KINGDOM 8/9 "Wonderboy what is the secret of your power?" GRAFICA: 8/9 SONORO: 8/9 GIOCABILITA':8 1/2 LONGEVITA': 8 1/2 TRAMA: 8 1/2 EMOZIONE: 8 1/2 +Audio-visivamente meraviglioso +Divertente, longevo e difficile +Bellssime boss fight -Un paio di dungeon esagerano un po' in lunghezza e difficoltà dei puzzle -Curva di difficoltà morbida fino a metà poi ripidissima fino alla fine -Nient'altro In equilibrio tra gli anni 80/90 ed i giorni nostri Monster Boy è decisamente riuscito a fare breccia nel mio nostalgico cuore da platform gamer. Presentandosi indiscutibilmente come sequel spirituale della saga dei Wonder Boy(il cui primo storico titolo usci nei suoi splendidi 8-bit nel non proprio vicino 1986), Monster Boy and the cursed kingdom arriva a noi come una sorta di serenata al passato perfettamente costruita nel presente, con grafica 2D cartoonesca, colorata e divertente. Il mondo di gioco e le ambientazioni varie e brillanti rendono il titolo a livello visivo appagante cosi come i suoi personaggi ben caratterizzati e le 5 trasformazioni(maiale,serpente,rana,leone e drago) del protagonista Jin, le quali,dato il loro utilizzo totalmente differente l'uno dall'altro rendono il gioco un vero e proprio platform/metroidvania. La OST è armoniosa , piacevole e varia ed a differenza di molti altri giochi sui generis non risulta mai ripetitiva. La trama non è certo il piatto forte del titolo: salvare il regno da una maledizione che ha trasformato tutti gli abitanti in animali o bestie, però si sviluppa in maniera cosi spensierata da risultare piacevole ed efficace. Il gameplay cosi come lo stesso mondo di gioco è vario e spassoso e nelle fasi più concitate addirittura esaltante. Tuttavia la curva di difficoltà diventa fin troppo ripida nella seconda metà della campagna, rendendosi non accessibile ai più; inoltre segnalo un paio di dungeon eccessivamente lunghi e complessi(a livello di puzzle) che spezzano lievemente il ritmo di gioco. Ad ogni modo siamo davanti ad un gioco con una campagna principale che raggiunge le 20 ore: veramente tantissime per un metroidvania, da lodare gli sviluppatori Game Atelier per non averlo reso pesante nemmeno per un secondo(apparte quei due dungeon). Per concludere posso affermare con certezza che Monster boy and the cursed kingdom merita tante lodi quante ne ha ricevuto nelle recensioni sui vari siti: pieno di richiami e citazioni al passato, con le sue grafiche appaganti e musiche ottime, è riuscito a trasportarmi in un mondo di gioco affascinante nel quale ho cacciato numerose bestemmie ma anche nel quale tornerei sempre molto volentieri.

Still need to go back to 100% this! Honestly loved this, as my first entry into the Wonder Boy series and this game was a bundle of fun. Losing your human form you must travel the world, in order to restore your human form and stop the evil that's trying to destroy the world. You'll become a Snake, Pig and more. Each has a unique skill that the other one doesn't, you'll have to play to find that out.
