Overall, Sun Wukong VS Robot is a great platforming experience, with hints of metroidvania and role-playing elements thrown in for good measure. It’s addictively fun to play, hard as nails, and honestly a joy for fans of the genre.

- If you’re a die-hard fan of metroidvanias, or if you’re a platinum trophy hunter (you can grab two of them with one purchase, as PS4 and PS5 trophies are stacked separately), then you might be able to enjoy a couple of hours with it, and then forget it like the rest of the gaming populace. If not, well, you’re still going to forget it like the rest of the gaming populace…
- 6.5Sun Wukong VS Robot gives us a bite-size game at a bite-size price. Nothing here will blow you away but if you are looking for a quick game and like classic platforming game mechanics, you can do much worse. If you are on the hunt for a quick 1,000 gamerscore, then look no further than Sun Wukong VS Robot.
- Sun Wukong VS Robot is a solid, enjoyable Metroidvania on Switch that uses the titular Chinese legend in an interesting way, utilising his many powers and abilities to modify gameplay. At an extremely affordable price point, it’s worth checking out.
- 7.0If Sun Wukong VS Robot was longer and structured a bit more like a traditional metroidvania where the upgrades were tied to progression, it could well be a great little game. As it is, it’s a good challenge and does manage to kill a couple hours, and so if you grew up playing old Game Boy or NES games, then Sun Wukong VS Robot might be a nice nostalgia trip.
