Moon Hunters is a fantastic game and the pixel art graphics is so beautiful. It’s characters, locations, and story grabbed me from start to finish, and I’ve already completed multiple runs for the game can can’t wait to go back to it to play some more! I had an absolutely great time playing the game for my Moon Hunters review, and I highly recommend it. It also includes a Platinum trophy to reward you for your efforts, so what’s not to like?

Moon Hunters is not only a wonderfully creative game, but it manages to be innovative without getting weighed down by other issues. And, with it’s pick-up-and-play like style, the significance has been added to it’s short rate of completion. The technical prowess isn’t the greatest, but everything else is supremely top-notch.

The level of choice is consistently interesting and rewarding. The artistry is commendable, too, with excellent character portraits and beautiful music that demands a soundtrack purchase. Some players might long for a longer, more detailed narrative in a single playthrough. But if you can adjust to the need to replay the game while making different choices, you'll find this to be a clever and rewarding action-RPG. Moon Hunters costs $14.99 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Steam. Pros: - It's a four-player action-RPG you can finish in one sitting! - Loads of player choices that lead to truly distinct outcomes. - Each playthrough brings you one step closer to solving the overall narrative and restoring reality. - A phenomenal soundtrack adds gravitas and emotion to the adventure. Cons: - The loading time when you start a game is way too long. - The enemy that blocks from the front is really annoying to fight by yourself. - The randomized nature of the game can make it difficult to reach specific scenarios. - See Moon Hunters on the Xbox Store (opens in new tab) - See Moon Hunters soundtrack on the Windows Store (opens in new tab) Xbox One review copy provided by the publisher.

Despite bits of repetitiveness in its story and gameplay, Moon Hunters is well worth playing.

Though the hardcore crowd may scoff at its unsophisticated combat system and the lack of a serious challenge, Moon Hunters' gorgeous presentation and unique brand of storytelling will absorb anyone who wishes to explore the countless sagas of an enchanting fantasy world.

All told, Moon Hunters is a wonderful roguelike RPG that is quite unlike anything else available on the Switch, offering a bite-sized, engaging adventure that is extremely replayable and can be enjoyed both alone and with friends. Though there are some issues with the easy difficulty and the occasionally heinous load times, we still give this one a strong recommendation. Moon Hunters offers a lot with a relatively small amount of content, and you’ll likely find yourself revisiting this one for quite some time.
