Moonlighter Reviews
Moonlighter does a lot of things right, but you repeat each one consistently. Dungeon crawling to find loot to sell is a nice little twist to a typical roguelite game. The combat is a bit challenging, and upgrades are necessary to find items for your shop. Despite the repetition, Moonlighter is an entertaining game for those who love looting and price haggling.
Say hello to Will, Will is a nice guy, a nice guy who inherited his family-owned shop known as Moonlighter, as time passed and Will's family declined in years he eventually ended up as the sole owner of the business. Will is also an adventurous sort of lad who loves nothing more than to grab a sword, a shield, and go wandering into the nearest dungeon to test his mettle and grab a bunch of bits and bobs that he can sell in the shop.
A true labour of love that you can't help but adore, Moonlighter is the perfect addition to any game library. Endearing, involving, addictive, and challenging all in equal measure, this lovely little rogue-lite will have you hooked in no time.
Moonlighter might have shallow store management mechanics, but more than makes up for it with its amazing gameplay loop of dungeon exploring / looting. One of those games you can’t stop once you pick it up.

In 'Moonlighter', you take on the role of Will, a young shopkeeper with dreams to restore his town to it's former glory. To do this, he must descend into the ancient and mysterious dungeons and unearth the secrets they hold.
The music and sounds are spot on and everything in the game just seems to compliment each other in a way that makes it feel just right. If more indie game were like this then I would be one happy adventurer/capitalist shop owner.
Moonlighter provides an engaging loop of dungeoneering and shopkeeping.
Moonlighter is a great indie title about adventuring into the unknown in search of both riches and information. Whether you're deep in combat within a dungeon, re-organising your backpack to make room for new items, or flogging your findings to the locals; the game will have you addicted to its gameplay and intrigued on what's going to happen next in the story. Sure, the first few hours may be slow as you get to grips with how the selling works and you work out how much you can sell things for, but once you get that locked down you won't want to stop playing.
