Resumen de la comunidad
Texto original · InglésA top-down action RPG with rogue-lite dungeons where you loot randomized-layout dungeons by night and run your own shop in the town of Rynoka by day (Digital Sun / 11 bit studios, 2018).
Texto original · InglésMoonlighter is broadly liked: Steam shows Very Positive (about 81% of roughly 24.6k reviews) and Metacritic critic scores sit in the mid-70s to low-80s depending on platform (PC 74, PS4 81, Switch 83). Players and critics love the pixel art, soundtrack and the addictive loot-sell-upgrade loop, but a recurring verdict is that both halves (combat and shopkeeping) are shallow, the loop gets repetitive after several hours, and the novelty fades. The game is fully released (not early access) and has had post-launch content (a New Game+ mode, companions, extra room layouts, and the Between Dimensions DLC, July 2019), and is now often free or deeply discounted on Steam. Its sequel Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault went into early access in November 2025, which has revived attention. Persistent complaints on Steam are controller-first design with poor keyboard and mouse support and a few long-standing bugs.
Lo que elogian los jugadores
- Texto original · InglésPixel art and animation are widely called gorgeous and charming, and the soundtrack is praised as cozy and atmospheric
- Texto original · InglésThe core loop of dungeon looting, selling in your own shop, then upgrading gear and the shop is described as addictive and 'one more run' compelling
- Texto original · InglésThe day/night split gives a satisfying rhythm: shop management is a relaxing break from dungeon crawling
- Texto original · InglésSmart inventory risk/reward: loot has curses and takes up limited backpack space, forcing choices about what to carry out
- Texto original · InglésSteady, readable power curve; upgraded armor and weapons make you feel stronger, with five weapon types offering different playstyles
- Texto original · InglésDungeon bosses are well designed and memorable; several players say combat reaches a good feel once you have a favorite weapon and armor set
- Texto original · InglésGood value and accessible: family friendly, runs well on Steam Deck, roughly 15-25 hours to finish and 40+ for completionists, often on deep sale or given away free
Lo que critican los jugadores
- Texto original · InglésCombat is frequently called clunky and stiff: slow weapon animations with animation lock, awkward dodge roll, and unreliable hitboxes
- Texto original · InglésShopkeeping is seen as undercooked: pricing boils down to trial-and-error micro-tuning with little strategic depth or consequence
- Texto original · InglésDungeon design is shallow: rooms are enclosed arenas where you clear every enemy, and with only a handful of dungeons the layouts and encounters repeat
- Texto original · InglésPC port problems: built for gamepad, no mouse support even in menus, some keybinds cannot be rebound, and menu keys are not explained in game
- Texto original · InglésLong-standing bugs reported years after launch, such as the interact button also switching weapons and a sporadic bug where the day cannot be ended after opening the shop
- Texto original · InglésLate game sputters: the final dungeon and final boss are called anticlimactic by some, or a sudden difficulty spike by others
- Texto original · InglésInventory management becomes a chore because loot is so plentiful and bags fill quickly
- Texto original · InglésNo colorblind mode; red-green colorblind players report being unable to see slimes
Características distintivas
- Texto original · InglésThe hybrid of dungeon crawler and shop sim: the loot you risk your life for is literally the stock you price and sell, which also funds town growth and gear
- Texto original · InglésYou price items yourself and watch customer reactions (from overjoyed to overpriced) to learn each item's value
- Texto original · InglésRetail-style upgrades to the shop (chests, display stands, hired staff like a cashier, and a town of shops to expand) tie into the dungeon-diving economy
- Texto original · InglésCursed items and a backpack-as-puzzle inventory where item placement and curses matter during a run
- Texto original · InglésFixed hand-built dungeon rooms shuffled per run rather than fully procedural rooms; comparisons often cite Zelda and Binding of Isaac for dungeons and Recettear and Stardew Valley for the town loop
- Texto original · InglésGear is crafted and enchanted using dungeon loot, and dungeon gates act as story-driven progression
Opiniones divididas
- Texto original · InglésWhether the shop is a charming relaxing counterbalance or a shallow gimmick
- Texto original · InglésCombat feel: praised as fair and satisfying with the right weapon versus clunky and sluggish
- Texto original · InglésDifficulty: some find dungeons sufficiently challenging and bosses fair, others find the final boss a spike or the early game grindy and punishing
- Texto original · InglésReplay value: some enjoy 40+ hours and New Game+, others feel the game peaks early and gets worse the longer they play
Repetición y obstáculos
- Texto original · InglésPrice-tuning every item in the shop becomes repetitive, and some players call the shop a gimmick that stops being interesting after a couple of hours
- Texto original · InglésLooting, selling and upgrading turns into a monotonous grind to afford the next gear tier before you can push the next dungeon
- Texto original · InglésRe-clearing the same rooms and enemies with identical patterns; some players say they saw everything within an hour or two
- Texto original · InglésManaging a cluttered inventory and dealing with cursed items during runs
- Texto original · InglésUnskippable, lengthy cutscenes and thin story
- Texto original · InglésFighting menus and control schemes on keyboard; some spent around 20 minutes remapping
Mejoras esperadas
- Texto original · InglésProper keyboard and mouse support and fully rebindable controls, including menu navigation, plus a colorblind mode
- Texto original · InglésDeeper shop simulation: more meaningful customer behavior, pricing gambles or risk, and stronger links between shop choices and dungeon play
- Texto original · InglésMore dungeon variety and stronger randomization (more rooms, enemy mixes and mechanics) so runs stop feeling memorized
- Texto original · InglésMore responsive, varied combat: better hitboxes, more fluid dodge and attacks, more weapon depth
- Texto original · InglésA more satisfying endgame and final dungeon, and meaningful persistent progression (Game Informer felt the persistent elements had too little impact)
- Texto original · InglésFix old bugs and skippable cutscenes and quality-of-life items such as better inventory handling
Texto original · InglésLaunched May 2018 on PC, PS4 and Xbox One to generally favorable critic reviews, with the PC version scoring lower on Metacritic (74) than consoles (81-84), consistent with player complaints about the keyboard and mouse port. Switch followed Nov 2018, iOS Nov 2020, Android 2021/2022 (via Netflix Games). The Between Dimensions DLC arrived July 2019. Steam user sentiment has drifted slightly lower over time (81% all-time, 79% recent), helped along by reviews from people who got the game free or cheap, and by recurring complaints of unfixed control and bug issues dating to 2018. Wikipedia lists SXSW Gaming and Gamers' Choice nominations. The sequel Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault entered early access Nov 19, 2025 (PC Metacritic 80, OpenCritic 83% recommend) with 1.0 planned for Sept 2, 2026. Sales data is not officially published; third-party Steam estimates (2-5M owners, ~$1.6M gross Steam-only via SteamSpy and steam-revenue-calculator) are rough and likely undercount cross-platform revenue and overcount free-giveaway copies. Note: WebSearch budget was exhausted, so community discussion was drawn from Steam review samples and Metacritic user reviews rather than Reddit (Reddit fetch blocked); the OpenCritic numeric score was not retrievable.

Texto original · InglésTier list Part 1 (2023)
Texto original · InglésMoonlighter is a cute action roguelike where you play a shopkeeper who delves dungeons for loot to sell and fund better gear. He loves the charm, art, music and adventurous vibe, and finished it mainly out of wanting to see the ending. He finds the shop half shallow and repetitive, the combat minimal, and the campaign structure low on replay value. He recommends it to some people and places it in a mid-to-high B (ASR transcribes the letter as 'beat'), rating it above Going Under but below Landlord-style fun.

- Texto original · InglésGreat music

- Texto original · InglésBeing an underpowered shopkeeper rather than an overpowered adventurer fits the theme

Problemas señalados por el creador
- Texto original · InglésShop management is repetitive, near-automatic, and could be removed without much loss
- Texto original · InglésLoop of selling similar materials at higher prices to buy better weapons is rinse-and-repeat
- Texto original · InglésGameplay and action are minimalistic, not amazing
- Texto original · InglésRoguelike elements are mild and runs do not differ much from each other

- Texto original · InglésLoot-to-sell economy gates progression into better gear and deeper dungeons
- Texto original · InglésShopkeeper fantasy deliberately makes the player feel not overpowered
