Video ChumsA.J. MaciejewskiApr 20267.4/10Not everyone will appreciate the deliberate combat in Kingdom's Return: Time-Eating Fruit and the Ancient Monster but if you go in with an open mind and learn how to effectively fight, you'll be impressed with how skillful you can dispatch your foes while emerging unscathed. 🏰

COGconnectedJames PaleyMay 202665/100If you’re looking for a pixel art side-scrolling action game, you’re in luck. But if you want anything more from the experience, you could be in trouble with Kingdom’s Return: Time-Eating Fruit and the Ancient Monster.

RPGamerMay 20262.5/5The one-dimensional world, scarcity approach to strategy, and an underwhelming city-building experience make for a very lacklustre time in Kingdom’s Return. Although it has the trappings of an excellent action-strategy RPG, it is disappointing to see simplicity squander its potential.

GamesCreedAsura KagawaApr 20262.5/5Kingdom's Return: Time-Eating Fruit and the Ancient Monster ultimately feels torn between wanting to do too much and not enough. It brings up some interesting ideas but doesn't fully explore them. As a result, it's an experience that might appeal to people who want a simple hybrid RPG but will let down those hoping for the depth or intensity usually found in Inti Creates' action games.
