Cozy, but a little redundant

Tried it in 2019 and dropped it until now. Back then I kinda liked it, but wasn't really into roguelikes. Since I've played and enjoyed a few since then, I thought I'd try going back. Had fun, game wasn't as long as I thought it'd be, but still good length. Mechanically it's pretty simplistic, but still fun and a bit challenging. I had the most difficulty with the mid section, both the 4th and final bosses I beat in one try, and they were the only ones I went in with fully upgraded gear, that made a huge difference. It's been a while since I've played a shopkeeper game, nice to get back into one.

Good game, classic grind theme. Go to dungeons, progress, get stuff and sell them to your store while interacting with NPCs

Story

I was so conflicted over this game. Moonlighter could have so easily been one of my all-time favourite games – if it wasn't filled with so many infuriating and kinda obnoxious mechanics. To start with the positives, I really, really loved the shopkeeping side of the game. I was expecting this to be my least favourite part of it, but I could not get enough of running the shop, figuring out how to price things based on the notes in your merchant journal and the moods of the shoppers, and keeping an eye out for shady shoplifters. Such a novel idea, thought it was genius. I also generally liked the combat once I got the hang of it – it looks simple at first but there's a surprising amount of nuance and rhythm to it. Sometimes things get a bit too bullet hell, but otherwise it was fun. Also cannot fault the graphics and music – I regularly get the soundtrack stuck in my head. As for the not-so-good, Moonlighter gets real grindy, real fast. The entire game is a loop of dipping into dungeons, grabbing what you can and teleporting home when your backpack is full. You have to constantly balance bag space between key upgrade materials and high value treasures to fund said upgrades. And boy, do you need those funds, because the price curve of each weapon or armour upgrade tier is so steep it might as well be vertical. As a result, you're always compromising somewhere and having to make more trips in and out of the same part of the same dungeon. All the while you make incremental progress towards the dungeon's eventual boss, and that's assuming you don't die and lose your entire backpack (as well as waste 20 minutes of your life because there's no way to recover treasures you lose on death). This loop got less tedious when I turned down the difficulty, but it was still pretty repetitive. And of course, the Wanderer. The invincible green phantom who spawns in if you take too much time exploring a dungeon floor and kills you in one hit. I still don't see any good reason why Moonlighter has to have a punishment for taking your time to explore a dungeon thoroughly, but boy did it take the fun straight out of the game.

В целом очень хорошая игра про менеджмент в пикселях с рогульками.

Um, I really tried to enjoy this game. The premise is interesting and the story has so much promise but the gameplay is a bit jarring- some hits do not register, some rolls do not register, and there are chances of completely soft-locking yourself in the dungeon at the beginning of the game. I love the aspect of owning a shop and having to haggle with customers but going into the dungeon was frustrating. Play if you want, but I did not finish it.

Hat mir enorm gefallen und gerne gezockt. Gameplay war super smoove, und genau, Soundtracks waren super und immer Atmosphärisch angepasst. Abzug gibs bei der Story den die wird dir einmal erzählt um was es geht, danach ändert sie sich nicht mehr, was den Spielspaß nicht mindert. Kann es empfehlen, wer gerne Dungeoncrawler und Pixeloptik liebt/mag

i love pixel games like these. a fun dungeon crawler/rouge like with some shop management elements and a GREAT gameplay loop. Go into dungeon fight through rouge like randomly generated levels. make it out or quit early. and bring back items to sell to make money to acquire gear to explore more of the dungeon. rinse. repat. great fun.

Story

Wir fangen mal bei den positiven Dingen an. Moonlighter ist ein unglaublich hübsches Spiel. Die Visuals sind dank Pixelgrafik sehr stimmig und schön gemacht, die Animationen der Charaktere unheimlich cool. Der Einstieg in die Story ist wirklich gut gemacht, man bekommt einen groben Überblick über die Geschichte und findet sich schnell in seiner Position zurecht. Als Händler in der kleinen idyllischen Stadt nahe der Dungeons haben wir erstmal vor allem ein Ziel: Material für unseren Laden zu finden. Die bekommen wir, indem wir uns in den einzig verfügbaren Dungeon stürzen und Monster besiegen. Nur wenn wir es sicher aus dem Dungeon schaffen, wobei uns unser Anhänger treue Dienste erweist, können wir die gesammelten Gegenstände auch in unseren Laden bringen. Dort kann dann alles ausgestellt und verkauft werden. Und hier wird es ein bisschen ätzend. Was die ersten drei Tage noch recht viel Spaß macht (Material ausstellen, Preis festlegen und den optimalen Preis herausfinden), ist recht schnell nur noch schleppend und nervig. Es gibt keine Option, anderweitig oder schnell an Geld zu kommen. Hinzu kommt das durchaus schwierige Sammeln von Gegenständen, die im Dungeon auch noch besondere Effekte haben (verflucht, brauchen bestimmte Positionen im Inventar oder zerstören andere Items beim Verlassen des Dungeons). Wer auf der vorgesehenen Schwierigkeitsstufe spielt, hat dann auch noch mit fähigen Gegnern zu kämpfen, die ein minimales Fehlschlagen von zwei drei Pixeln nicht verzeihen und brutal Schaden verursachen. Selbstverständlich kann's an meinen mangelnden Fähigkeiten liegen, aber das Spiel verliert einen schnell. Spätestens nach dem 5. Tod im Dungeon setzt der Frust ein und man hackt sich nur noch durch die Räume. Gute Ausrüstung ist leider ein MUSS, wenn man irgendwie in den Dungeons bestehen will. Dafür brauchst du Material und Geld, also kommt man um die Frustpassage nicht gänzlich drumherum. Fazit: Das Spiel ist schön gemacht, grafisch und soundtechnisch ein absolutes Erlebnis, aber das Gameplay holt mich nicht genug ab, um das Spiel noch länger zu spielen.
