Momodora: Moonlit Farewell Reviews
Moonlit Farewell was a game I was eager to get back to every time I had to stop playing. I couldn’t wait to find the next secret, or boss, and figure out what else lay ahead on the adventure. I’m really sad that’s it no longer an ongoing series. Hopefully, Bombservice use everything they learned while making the Momodora games and apply that to a new Metroidvania series. The team clearly have a great understanding of how to build an interesting, interconnected world that feels fun to explore, and contains exciting combat. The only things I’d really want improved are the difficulty and a few more reasons to backtrack through the world. Momodora: Moonlit Farewell receives a Thumb Culture Gold Award.
The company Bombservice clearly demonstrates the growth and experience of a game developer. If you look at its previous games, you can see the steady progression in their quality. Momodora: Moonlit Farewell is a complete Metroidvania that can keep you entertained for around 10 hours. This game does not claim to introduce anything new to its genre, but it masterfully brings together all the essential elements to create an enjoyable experience. So, if you’re looking for a game in this genre, be sure to check out Momodora.

Momodora: Moonlit Farewell is a modest but worthy farewell to a series that has always been humble. The concise campaign focuses on what works and gets straight to the point, with a good pace of exploration and progression, but its basic metroidvania mechanics fail to impress, both in the simplistic traversal abilities and in the merely satisfactory combat. Fortunately, the aesthetics refine the visuals with good effects, making this a game that, despite being unpretentious, is fun, enjoyable and very beautiful.

Momodora: Moonlit Farewell is very well designed and it's very difficult to point out any flaws that really bothered me about it. There are decisions that differ from Reverie Under the Moonlight both aesthetically and mechanically that make me see people preferring the previous game.

Momodora: Moonlit Farewell is a great 2D platformer title that boasts a beautiful presentation and good level design that can challenge but never strangle you. Good narrative pacing and ability acquisitions keep Momo’s game from becoming stale—and don’t get me started on the fun boss fights. A perfect title for the Metroidvania faithful and newcomer.
Momodora: Moonlit Farewell kicks off the year with a great metroidvania title. The fantastic level design and art style make it easy to recommend to fans of the genre, despite some shortcomings. It provides a fantastic entry point for franchise newcomers, and what I’m confident in saying is a great sendoff for long time fans. Anyone looking for a solid metroidvania will have a good time here.
Momodora: Moonlit Farewell is beautifully presented metroidvania with gorgeous pixel art and an equally mesmerizing soundtrack, which combine to manifest melancholy right into your heart.
Momodora: Moonlit Farewell delivers a simple and elegant Metroidvania final love letter to fans of the series.
For those who remembers Momodora series, the traverse and combat difficulty of the latest installment might feel a bit lacking. However, it is still a well-balanced 2D platformer action game that shines with convenience and beautiful pixel visuals.

Momodora: Moonlit Farewell is a lean and focused metroidvania that offers a satisfying experience, but the lackluster execution makes this goodbye more ephemeral than it should be.

Momodora: Moonlit Farewell is near perfect in every way, with exceptional art, game design, characters, and writing. While the game is slightly held back by dated controls and poor mapping options, this complaint hardly feels like a drop in the pond of greatness that is this moonlit journey.
