About Moonlighter

About this game

Moonlighter is a mixture of genres from Digital Sun and 11 bit studios.

An Adventurer's Dream Come True

In Moonlighter, players can leave their sleepy village of Rynoka and enter the mysterious realms beyond via portal gates. Their goal is to defeat monsters and collect valuable items to bring back for a profit. Players must use smart and calculated decisions to survive this thrilling adventure, as they do not know what they will encounter next.

A Village in Need of Help

Managing their shop is a key part of surviving in Rynoka. This includes stocking shelves with items for sale, setting prices, recruiting assistants, and upgrading the shop. Players should watch out for criminals who may try to steal their wares. To help restore the village's prosperity, players can help establish new businesses.

Deep Combat Mechanics & Crafting System 

The core combat system involves mastering weapons control, timing attacks carefully, positioning correctly and understanding enemies and environments. Players can also craft armour and weapons using materials found in other dimensions and enchant existing equipment to increase power. They must use an inventory system wisely in order to take the most lucrative loot back home.

"An addictive mix of combat and commerce."
78 / 100
"Moonlighter is a cute and casual revival of an uncommon mashup but doesn't stick around to push the boundaries."

Totally different to what i expected. Fun little roguelike with some chill shopping management on the side

Not a perfect game, but the core gameplay loop does an excellent job of holding your attention. There's essentially no story, but I don't think anyone is looking for one in this sort of title. Doesn't overstay its welcome, can be hammered out in a long weekend. No noticeable bugs.

A cool idea! Shop Owner by day: Dungeon Explorer by night. You get the chance to build the economy of the town you're in, such as building other shops and such.

Reminds me of playing Zelda on the gameboy, the shopkeeping and crafting side of things is a nice bonus that gives the game more depth
