This game really disappointed me. I had heard great things about Moonlighter so I hopped on the opportunity to score it for free on Epic. After playing through the first dungeon, I felt pretty content with the combat, shopkeeping and overall progression in the game. I was excited to upgrade equipment, craft cooler items and withstand harder tests of endurance in the rest of the game.

However, this game really ends after the first dungeon. I quickly felt a sick sense of repetition too similar to an idle game. The items for sale were reskinned items from the first dungeon with a higher price, and I realized every other aspect of progression followed the same trend. I felt very bored but stuck with the game through the end because I expected something to change, but nothing did.

Overall I still appreciated the construction of the game, the art and action are fine enough but Moonlighter's unique hook wasn't sufficient to keep me interested the entire time.
