Slayin’ and sellin’

Moonlighter  ​​​​​​​

It’s difficult to say no to a title that packs in so much. As the name of white haired protagonist Will’s shop, but also an accurate description of his various professions, Moonlighter is a multi-layered title, but how does it fair under the microscope?

Running the shop in-game requires setting fair but profitable prices and keeping your wares well stocked. This necessitates the player venturing into one of five dungeons on the outskirts of town. It’s reminiscent of Recettear but with several necessary, streamlining updates. As shop owner and adventurer, you’re cutting out the middleman for starters. Unfortunately that does also mean that when this roguelite gets its claws out, the buck stops with you.
