Pure NintendoJemma CassonJun 20218.5/10Sun Wukong VS Robot is a great platforming experience. It's addictively fun to play, hard as nails, and honestly a joy for fans of the genre. At the budget price of $4.99, it's easy to recommend this title to players ready for their next challenge.

Rapid Reviews UKBrent GassAug 20213.5/5 starsSun Wukong Vs. Robot is a short Metroidvania adventure. Instead of journeying far and wide to uncover upgrades and fight challenging enemies, this game will have you exploring a small area that still follows the Metroidvania tropes. Is this brief adventure still worth your time? Find out in this collaborative Rapid Review written by myself and Brent Gass.

Nindie SpotlightJustin NationJun 20216.3/10Throwback budget action platformers are pretty well a dime a dozen on Switch, and of relatively uniform decent quality, so clearly differentiating yourself in the space is a challenge...

NookGamingAdam CarrJul 20213/10Sun Wukong vs Robot is a mess. It looks bad, sounds worse, and plays pretty poorly to boot. The only reason you would play this is if you were desperate for a Metroidvania and only had a fiver to spend. Even then, the game is not worth that price, especially when some of the best games in the genre can be bought for slightly more off sale, and less on sale. It’s the 10 pence mixup of the gaming world – disappointing, cheap, and it barely registers on the serotonin scale but might give you diabetes all the same. Hard pass.

WayTooManyGamesLeonardo FariaJun 20215/10You can have a tiny bit of fun with Sun Wukong vs. Robot. It’s not inherently terrible. It’s just one of the most generic and forgettable metroidvanias I’ve played in a while. It offers nothing new to the genre, its visuals are lackluster, and its overall design is just beyond bland.
