### 4/5 — Overheat and freezing

*2026-07-11*

Enjoying the game a lot. It's a fun metroidvania with a lot of fun mechanics. Reminds me a bit of wario world games with the transformations. Puzzles can be a bit difficult with platforming, couldn't imagine playing without a physical controller. The only gripe I have is that after 20-30 minutes, my iphone 16 pro max gets so hot that the Bluetooth starts getting interrupted and I've even had the game completely freeze and crash the entire phone.

### 3/5 — Control

*2026-07-01*

Für das Geld hätte die Touch-Steuerung echt besser sein können!

### 2/5 — 조작키 불편함

*2026-06-24*

이정도 가격에 조작키 조절정도는 할 수 있어야는게 기본 아닌가요.  베터리, 발열도 개선이 필요함

### 3/5 — Difficulty

*2026-06-21*

One of the most difficult games I’ve ever played. Elden ring, and the entires souls series has nothing on this one. It’s difficult to the point that it’s not even fun. Also, controller randomly stops working and when you die it will sit on the loading screen until you back out of the app.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for playing Monster Boy! Kindly contact our support@fdg-entertainment.com so we can look into your controller disconnection or loading screen issue.

### 5/5 — Worth it

*2026-06-19*

Okay okay it’s a lot of money but damn it’s so polished. Graphics are stunning. Tons of gameplay and I’m only an hour in. Well worth getting. This is a proper premium game !  Controls are really good as well

**Developer response:** Hi there, thank you so much for your awesome review and your support!

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2026-06-18*

Só poderia da pra diminuir e configurar os controles de toque
