Moonlighter

Moonlighter is easily one of the best action RPGs of the year so far. Its mashup of shop management and dungeon crawling results in an experience that has magnificent pacing, interesting mechanics and fluid gameplay. This may sound like a cliche, but Moonlighter is the definition of easy to pick up and hard to put down. It helps that it’s so accessible, making it suitable for both genre fans and newcomers alike.

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.

Sometimes there are ideas that are so incredibly simple that you cannot believe nobody has thought of them before, and Moonlighter is one of those ideas. It takes a simple premise and turns it into a game that is a joy to play, even when it’s killing you or stealing items from your store, after it’s taken a little too long just to set the price. With its gorgeous pixel art and the old man that gives you the “it’s dangerous to go alone,” speech before handing you a sword and shield, there are just so many reasons to enjoy Digital Sun’s fantastic game.
