Momodora: Revere Under Moonlight is a fantastic game, wonderfully animated, rich with accurate and sharp controls, and a worthy successor to the heyday of platformer gaming. Games like this are what made console gaming great and keep PC gaming honest, and the fact titles like these are still being made is why the industry has long-standing hope. If this game interests you enough to look at it twice, save yourself the regret and pick it up- you’ll be happier for it.

Regardless of my handful of complaints, the fact is that Momodora grabbed me and never let go. From start to finish, I was in love with the world, the combat, the easter eggs, and nearly everything in between.

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is a triumphant release, capturing all the nostalgic wonder of 8-bit platforming within a very unique shell. Gloomy, challenging, and only occasionally unfair, Momodora is a fantastic adventure with a fun story and lots of secrets to uncover.

I’m already excited about the next Momodora game. I’m going to play all of the previous games, and then I’m going to anticipate and wait for the next one.

Momodora: Reverie Under The Moonlight is a very fun, polished and challenging PlayStation 4 game. It is a short but sweet release that will keep you busy for a handful of hours, but you’ll love every minute of it. I really liked this one, and hope I get to play a new game in the series soon!

That one little gripe notwithstanding, Momodora: Reverie Under the Moon is a fantastic game. I've played a lot of games that emulate the design of Castlevania to varying degrees of success, but few that do this good a job of engaging with the theme 's that underpin that series. In doing so, Momodora carves its own special niche within the Metroidvania world.

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is, without a doubt, one of the finest action-platformers around. Given enough time, players might be able to come up with a couple of nit-picks, but what little there is to complain about simply pales in comparison. This is an adventure that one can't help but to play through several times over, long after they've gotten their money's worth. To sum it all up, this game is a required play.

I enjoyed my time with the game as I wrote this Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight, and I found myself playing more and more even after I had finished drafting it. Sure, there’s other things I haven’t mentioned about the game, but that’s only because I don’t want to spoil it for you! There’s something very addictive about the gameplay, setting, music and graphics for the game that kept me coming back for more, so I hope it has the same effect on you. I look forward to seeing what Bombservice does next on PlayStation!

Momodora: Reverie Under The Moonlight is the fourth installment in the unknown Momodora saga. And to be honest, despite its modest production values, it wastes quality, good design, and good work. With an interesting artistic section, a narrative that progresses as we explore the world around us, a sound section with some almost bucolic themes, and the highlight, a challenging, fun and at times demanding combat, thanks to the fluidity of the animations already how satisfactory your control is. The duration and certain peaks of difficulty are its handicaps, but it is still a highly recommended game.

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is a surprising metroidvania: a game characterized by a wonderful art design and a challenging gameplay.

But for those who just want to see what that cute girl with horns is doing like I did, Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is a brief, but highly enjoyable time. It can be over before it overstays its welcome and cracks start to show, but even then those flaws aren't enough to belittle the experience.

From beginning to end, Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight remained a masterful example of a small project with big inspiration.

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is a pleasant and often challenging run through a fascinating world that ends much too soon. While the game doesn’t present anything innovative or bring anything new to the Metroidvania genre, it’s still quite an enjoyable albeit disappointingly short experience.  From the updated visuals and animations to the platforming and combat, Reverie Under the Moonlight doesn’t fail to impress. And its interesting story and world only leads to wishing the game was a lot longer and more explored.

A thoroughly engaging action platformer from start to finish that is sure to appeal to anyone with even a passing interest in the genre.

Nice (but quite short) metroidvania with pretty retro-inspired graphics and many bosses to beat. Indie gem for fans of the oldschool.

This beautiful pixelated Metroidvania makes the graceful jump to the Nintendo Switch.
