On a day like any other in an otherwise empty field, a strange isolated building appeared. Of those who curiously entered, many lost their lives, but the few that escaped left with mysterious artifacts of immeasurable value. Before long, Rynoka Village was founded, and the occupants split into two factions – Heros and Merchants; one who sought to delve into the newly named “Dungeon” for glory, fame, and powerful weapons to stand above all, and those who searched for priceless artifacts and relics inside to sell for an obscene amount of gold. Will’s parents were merchants who built The Moonlighter, a shop run by Will’s mother to sell treasure looted by his father. After the successive loss of both of his parents due to this dangerous occupation, Will inherits The Moonlighter, and this is where his story begins.

25-50 hours to complete, Moonlighter is a roguelike RPG with town-building, shopkeeping, familiars, as well as day/night mechanics. Dungeons are randomized upon entry, and town buildings and people are hired through the money you earn at your shop and home, which can be upgraded and decorated for additional perks and benefits. There is inventory management, as some items have curses and some curses cancel out each other, but a lot of the time you can get them to work for you if you can manage them properly. Generally, I have a lot of positive things to say about Moonlighter, and I highly recommend it; but not if you plan to 100% it! Many achievements are very, very grindy and punishing. Definitely give Moonlighter a chance, and pick up the DLC while you’re at it! It’s the after-story and has too much content to miss out on!

The game worked fine for the first two hour session. Now when I open the game, I cannot get past the "Press any button to start" screen. The game allows me to skip the opening screens so it's detecting my inputs, but still doesn't allow me to actually play the game. I cannot refund because the game deceptively let me play for two hours initially. I have reinstalled, validated, and reset the game several times.

6 year old game, what a bunch of waz.

This game is a fun grinder game; if you like upgrading and grinding and upgrading and grinding your in heaven. Its a mix between Dave the diver and old school Zelda.

Well worth a buy especially on sale.
