Yes, that’s right. The long wait is finally over for PC Gamers all over the world. So what exactly am I talking about? I’m of course referring to the PC release of FDG Entertainment and Game Atelier’s action-adventure game “Monster Boy”.

You see, FDG Entertainment just informed us that “Monster Boy” is now available for Windows PC via GOG and Steam:

“Hi TGG team,

the wait for the PC community is over! After successfully releasing on consoles, we worked hard to provide Windows gamers the ultimate ‘Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom’ experience, including an unlocked framerate option and Ultra Widescreen support!

It’ll be available this Thursday, July 25th, 2019 on Steam and GOG for Windows PCs! – FDG Entertainment

The visuals, art style and animations are really beautiful and smooth I have to say.

That’s just the half of it though, because FDG also had us know that “Monster Boy” is currently 10% off via GOG and Steam as well:

Get your hands on this critically acclaimed metroidvania for only €29.99/$29.99 and an additional 10% launch sale!” – FDG Entertainment

“A LEGENDARY SERIES RETURNS WITH A GRAND NEW ADVENTURE!

Enjoy a colorful action-adventure game made alongside Ryuichi Nishizawa, creator of the original Wonder Boy in Monster World series.
