I like it. It has some flaws, but there’s a lot of game here. I’m hoping Renegade Kid develops a second season—which would, in theory, be brand-new content.

- 6.0It's really difficult to give Moon Chronicles a strong appraisal one way or the other. It's far from a stellar experience, but isn't a bad one either. There just isn't anything here that hasn't been done better elsewhere, and I can't see anyone other than FPS-starved 3DS owners or hardcore fans of the original being too interested.
- 7.6Moon Chronicles 3DS Episode One brings a lot at you setting the ground of what you are to expect from the other episodes. I was highly impressed at how fluid the game played in 3D and the graphics were impressive for a 3DS title. The story slowly builds up throughout episode 1 and comes to a good stopping point. Only complaint would be the early enemies are more annoying than they probably should be. I am looking forward to future episodes and see exactly where they go with the story and what more they will add to the game-play.
- There are lots of upsides to this title, especially with Renegade Kid’s announcement of a second season featuring entirely new content, but as it stands Moon Chronicles doesn’t quite live up to its lofty potential.
- 7.0Moon Chronicles is a nice, unique addition to the eShop. The episodic structure makes for a relatively short playing time, but the experience is well-crafted and often-exciting, which will leave players eager to play the remaining three episodes as they are released. Gamers who already played Moon on the DS won't find anything different here, but for everyone else Moon Chronicles is easy to recommend.
