Jan. 2025

Moonlighter is a merchant simulator game, where you're also the hero. I liked the gameplay loop between dungeons and selling things in the store. Cute graphics, great soundtrack, nice combat, satisfying game loop just use controller

Dec. 2024

I say it's a good game hurt by repetition. The base idea is there, but it is a little too grindy without offering enough variety to make it worth it. I think the game does reward skill, which is a plus. But it feels like a 5-6 hour game padded out to 14 hours. It's a hesitant recommendation, mainly because I think it's definitely worth it on sale

Oct. 2024

At the time of writing this, there are approx 32% of people who played this game who have gotten the achievement just for beating the 2nd boss. Which makes me sad! This game is awesome! The art style is charming and the songs are catchy! I absolutely recommend this game and plan on playing it all the way through! Great job, game devs!

Sept. 2024

Decent combat difficulty. The town and shop management linked to the story are the more interesting elements for me.
