Hero Is Back is a decent beat 'em up, held back by too much repetition over its short run-time to make it worth recommending.

Overall, the game has beautiful graphics and aesthetics but it’s not enough to save the game from the monotony of its gameplay. I wouldn’t go as far as saying that it’s unplayable but it’s that kind of game where you just want to play it once and check what it’s all about and then forget about it to move on to the next game.

Monkey King: Hero Is Back is a game that uses outdated mechanics alongside a very simple and childish gameplay. Although you can finish the game in a few hours, it still gets boring and painful to play and Its somewhat interesting story and lovely characters can't stop it from being a failure.

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.

Monkey King: Hero is Back is essentially forgettable. A sea of mediocrity with no ambition to be anything more.

Monkey King: Hero is Back is a game that doesn't invent or revolutionize anything, but if you like action games, some platform, exploration, and Chinese mythology, it will be perfect for you. In addition, it has some dose of humor and the classic curmudgeon protagonist who has to accompany a child during his trip. The negative points don't tarnish the final result of this game.
