Return to Monkey Island is an unexpected, thrilling return of series creator Ron Gilbert that continues the story of the legendary adventure games The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games.
It’s been many years since Guybrush Threepwood was last locked in a battle of wits with his nemesis, the zombie pirate LeChuck. His true love, Elaine Marley, has turned her focus away from governing and Guybrush himself is adrift and unfulfilled, having never found the Secret of Monkey Island. Hip, young pirate leaders led by Captain Madison have shuffled the old guard from power, Melee Island has taken a turn for the worse, and famed businessman Stan has been imprisoned for ‘marketing-related crimes’.
Banter with old friends and new faces on familiar islands now under dangerous new leadership. Then, take to the high seas and explore the new and unknown as you work your way out of tough predicaments. Clever puzzles, bizarre situations, and devastating ripostes are all that stand between Guybrush and glory.
Return to Point & Click Swashbuckling
Bringing classic point and click gameplay to the modern-day, intrepid pirates will solve puzzles and explore the islands with a clever evolution of classic adventure game controls. Context-sensitive interactions, reactive dialog trees, and an easy-to-use inventory system make pirating a breeze.
Embark on Archipelago Adventures
Navigate the sometimes-friendly confines of Melee Island, a familiar place that finds itself under new management by leaders who have put the squeeze on old friends and new faces. Venture out into uncharted lands like the aptly named Terror Island and the chilling outposts of Brrr Muda to make allies and enemies alike.
Created by a Legendary Crew
The new chapter in the Monkey Island series marks the return of the iconic series’ creator Ron Gilbert, joined by game co-writer Dave Grossman, art director Rex Crowle (Knights & Bikes, Tearaway) and composers Peter McConnell, Michael Land, and Clint Bajakian (Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge).
A solid edition to the series but would rank it 4th in the over all collection. Puzzles even are hard mode are surprising easy, but I guess you kind of know the format after playing all the other so many times. I’m very glad it was made, very happy to pay and support the developers for a life time of great work. I hope it inspires a new wave of growth for adventure games.
Absolutely fantastic, Guybrush is back!

I have been waiting for a mobile release as I don't spend much time on my laptop and I'd rather have the ease of playing on the go or on the sofa on my iPad so now it's finally out on mobile I downloaded it on the first day and it's brilliant!The art style is beautiful and I think it reflects back on the original games and the special editions. It's different but style very much Monkey Island uniqueness and I love it. It real feels alive with the moving art in the background and the interactions other characters have. It's just beautiful to take in the surrounding scenes for a couple of minutes.If you've ever played any of the original Monkey Island games you'll get a lot of nostalgia with returning characters and locations. The voice acting is great and as always Guybrush is brilliant with his comedic deliveries or ridiculous lines, so good!If you've never played a Monkey Island game before, that's okay too as it does a good job of explaining what's happened (loosely) and it's very forgiving for a first time puzzle gamer as so far the puzzles aren't incredibly hard (I chose casual mode to start with then will go with hard mode on my second playthrough) and it does offer a hint book if you need it.I also really like the fact you can collect trivia cards where you can answer some questions on the whole series of games, a nice touch!All in all, a brilliant, cosy and funny addition to the Monkey Island series. I just wish they would update the special editions for Monkey Island 1 & 2 for iOS as I would buy them again! Please do this!!
Nostalgia vibes! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow…. This is really great, the memories have all come flooding back and I’m so excited to keep playing this fabulous game!! I love that they had a reminder scrapbook to help you remember all the past storylines, the music alone gives you the instant feel good vibes, this game feels like the perfect addition to the monkey island experience, the humour is still really polished and I’ve smiled many times already and I’m not far into the game. Thank you to the team behind this as it must have been a lot of work and I hope many people buy it as we don’t have enough quality point/click adventures in the App Store, the more people support great talent the more adventure games will be made. So far I’m enjoying every minute….. absolutely superb!
Demo mode even if you have paid

I brought this game back in august last year. I went to play it for the first time during long flight yesterday and it stopped after an hour. After getting home and getting Wi-Fi it seemed to be in demo mode?! Wanting me to buy it again. I delete the app and re-download it, losing my save game too! Still wants be to buy it again! The only way to actually own a game so it works without issue these days is to pirate it! Guybrush would do that!
