Monkey King: Hero is Back launches on PC and PS4

A game based on the animated film Monkey King: Hero is Back is out today on PC and PS4. Both the game and the film are an adaptation of the Chinese epic Journey to the West.

Monkey King: Hero is Back is a narrative-driven action-adventure game that blends Chinese mythology and art. Playing as the Monkey King, you explore the fantasy world, battle animal-like creatures, and play never-before-seen scenes side stories from the Chinese box office hit of the same name.

According to the developer, the game has “simple” controls, kung-fu combat, and “unique and quirky weaponry.” And since it looks like it’s an interactive Pixar movie, it’s no surprise that it is meant to be enjoyed by gamers of all ages.
