It’s been about a year since the arrival of Return to Monkey Island, one of the best releases of 2022, and that how could it be otherwise we rushed to try at that time. As I already told you then, the proposal not only knew how to live up to the expectations that it had generated for many people, but was also able to exceed them, since it knew how to maintain the spirit of the great classics of the saga but, at the same time, modernize in key aspects so as not to be or feel anachronistic.
This is not accidental, as we already told you since its official announcement was made, Return to Monkey Island is signed by Lucasfilm Games, Devolver Digital and Terrible Toyboxthe studio created by Ron Gilbert, one of the great names of the golden age of graphic adventures, with titles on his resume such as Maniac Mansion, The Day of the Tentacle, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and, of course, The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge, the first two titles in the saga that concerns us today.
In its debut, in September of last year, Return to Monkey Island came to PC and Nintendo Switch, and its creators announced that there would also be a physical collector’s edition. Finally there were two, they went on presale earlier this year and it took a very short time to hang the “sold out” signin a sales success that was easily predictable, especially since the game hit the market in September.
Thus, it made perfect sense to expect the game to reach other platforms, and the good news in this regard is that Return to Monkey Island is now available for Android and iOS, as you can check on Google Play and the App Store for iOS. With a curious price differenceYes, and that is that the version for the Google operating system is priced at 8.99 euros, while the edition for Apple devices is sold for 9.99 euros.
As expected, and just like in its PC version, Return to Monkey Island It is not demanding in terms of its technical requirementsso that even an entry-level smartphone from a little over two years ago is shown to be fully compatible to play it, something very welcome in these times when many ports They are the perfect example of lack of optimization. In addition, and also going against the grain in this regard, both editions do not collect any user data at all… and that is a pirate game!
