WccftechRosh KellyMay 20189.2/10Moonlighter is a wonderful game that uses a delightful separation of tools to make you want to keep playing. It innovates the dungeon crawler genre in the most ingenious way possible.

cublikefootClaire FerrinJun 20184.5/10Moonlighter is a fun game, but only when it works. The mix of shopkeeping and dungeon crawling elements was excellently done and the upgrades are cool, but the crippling bugs ruin the experience.

DestructoidPatrick HancockMay 20186.5/10A lot could be tightened up to make the game feel more snappy and responsive in almost every aspect, especially when it comes to moving inventory items. Moonlighter is incredibly captivating on the surface, but there is a lot of frustration just waiting to be uncovered.
