"Clunky Hero is a MetroidVania title that manages to agree with everyone about its mediocrity. It is not a video game that stands out in a positive sense, but neither does it stand out in a negative sense. It is …"

"Clunky Hero is still in its early stages, which naturally comes with its fair share of unresolved bugs. The developers need to learn from these and listen closely to their community—which, by the way, they are doing, and for that …"

"Clunky Hero is a title that finds its greatest strength in its bold identity. Despite a derivative and flawed play structure, Chaosmonger Studio&s;s title is solid and thoughtfully designed, satisfying and challenging. Admittedly, in some cases even due to the …"
