Moonlighter is an action RPG with rogue-lite elements, focusing on Will, a shopkeeper aspiring to become a hero. To achieve this, Will explores dungeons near his town, filled with bizarre enemies and hidden treasures. Defeating these creatures and collecting items is essential, as Will sells these treasures in his shop to earn gold. Properly managing this income is crucial for acquiring the strength and equipment needed to tackle the final, most challenging dungeon.
Moonlighter combines action rogue-lite elements with intense combat, looting, and procedurally generated dungeons. As players face tough bosses, discover unique items, and encounter quirky enemies, they amass gold from their findings. This gold is crucial for upgrading the central shop, acquiring new equipment, and adding to the town. Strategic planning is essential, as players must wisely invest their earnings to balance exploration, management, and combat. Unlike typical rogue-lites, Moonlighter emphasizes permanent character progression, encouraging continuous growth to face greater challenges and ultimately becoming a hero.
Moonlighter The Complete Edition includes Moonlighter – Between Dimensions.
