Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom playable at Gamescom (new footage and screens)

We're excited to announce that ' Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom' will be playable for the first time on Nintendo Switch at Gamescom 2017 in Cologne. The demo features completely reworked graphics and you'll experience the beach area uncut, just as it'll play in the final game.

You can check out the game at the Nintendo Booth in the consumer area (hall 9.1 booths A011, B010, A021 and B020) where Alex and Joannis will present the game. We can also schedule a 30 minutes hands-on session in the business area in our booth, where you can interview Philipp, the game's co-producer.

THE LEGENDARY SERIES IS BACK AFTER 23 YEARS!

Monster Boy is being created to bring back the enjoyment of the classic games that shine by simplicity. Exciting gameplay, upbeat music and smooth graphics. You'll need to overcome huge bosses, find hidden passages, discover powerful equipment and use all your wits and skills to remove a powerful curse. Transform into 6 different creatures, each with their own skills and abilities. Take advantage of all the unique powers to open new paths and advance in an epic story. We put all our passion into Monster Boy to create a truly enjoyable love letter to gaming from the 80's and 90's - will you join us and celebrate together with us?
