Monkey King: Hero Is Back

About

Monkey King: Hero Is Back is an action RPG set in a vibrant world of Chinese mythology. You play as Sun Wukong, a trickster warrior with supernatural abilities, fighting through enemies using fluid kung-fu combat. The story follows a familiar legend with new twists, blending platforming, light exploration, and turn-based battles. Character progression lets you customize skills and gear, though the pacing leans more toward action than deep strategy. The game’s visuals pop with colorful environments and dynamic fight sequences. Based on a CGI movie that broke box office records in China, the game adapts its source material with bold design choices. While some players found the narrative uneven, the fast-paced combat and mythological themes drew praise from fans of the genre. Released in 2019 for PlayStation 4 and PC, it remains a niche pick for those seeking a lively, if occasionally erratic, mythic adventure.
