Critic Reviews for Kingdom's Return: Time-Eating Fruit and the Ancient Monster
If you’re looking for a pixel art side-scrolling action game, you’re in luck. But if you want anything more from the experience, you could be in trouble with Kingdom’s Return: Time-Eating Fruit and the Ancient Monster.
While it has an interesting premise and a clever gimmick, it doesn't do enough with those assets to stand out among other action-platformers, including those developed by Inti Creates in years past. With that said, it's far from bad. Thanks to snappy combat, four playable characters with unique talents, and appealing pixel art, it's a decent enough diversion.
While Kingdom’s Return isn’t a bad game, at Inti Creates, “not bad” simply isn’t good enough.
Do you have what it takes to restore the fallen Kingdom to its former glory?
Not everyone will appreciate the deliberate combat in Kingdom's Return: Time-Eating Fruit and the Ancient Monster but if you go in with an open mind and learn how to effectively fight, you'll be impressed with how skillful you can dispatch your foes while emerging unscathed. 🏰
While it may not do enough to make for a groundbreaking experience, its mix of elements has charm, though you’ll likely need to be ready to grind
I would define Kingdom's Return as a very cozy game. It's very comfortable to play, its art style is very cute, and though its soundtrack isn't that emotional, its systems are simple. Players looking for something more relaxed to add to their libraries, and to play at their own pace, should definitely give it a try. But for those seeking a challenge, an exciting story, or perhaps a hidden gem, it might be better to look elsewhere.

Kingdom’s Return: Time-Eating Fruit and the Ancient Monster delivers a competent action RPG with good gameplay and four unique heroes to play, each with specific moves and abilities. All this in a beautiful pixel art world. However, these qualities don't support an uninteresting narrative, repetitive tasks that quickly become monotonous, and a lack of personality in the champions that makes them uninteresting and uncharismatic.
