I paid money for the original AND the DLC, but just trying to start playing this version was awful. Didn't even bother starting the dungeons. The game barely works with a gamepad and despite asking what control setup I'm using at the start it completely ignores that during the tutorial steps, forcing me to switch back and forth between the screen and the pad. Just zero enjoyment at all. Not to mention those stupid unskippable cutscenes.

Great game, but littered with bugs. Mostly, inventory-related. Same weapon duplication and disappearance that others have mentioned. Also, switching between weapons mid-battle kept reducing my hp and damage with every swap. So I died, and chose to restart the dungeon. Started out with less max HP than Im supposed to have. Swapped weapons, saw max HP drop. Swapped again, and HP dropped to 0 (but I'm not dead). Just 0/0 HP. Restarted the game, but now my save won't load (corrupted?). Uninstalled.

Only reason it's a 4 and not a 5 is because it desperately needs controller support. It's a really fun game. Thing is, it plays very similarly to something like oldschool Zelda games (like A Link to the Past era), and that play style is better suited for a gamepad. Please add controller support, and I'll take it up to 5 🌟.

Gameplay 5/5 but bugs make it a 1/5. The item duplication glitch made me sell my weapons because I thought I had somehow found extra. But when you sell the duplicate, the original also disappears from your inventory. Luckily I had enough materials to craft a new set. Also my save got bricked after reaching Dungeon 2 for some reason. Now my game is just stuck on the loading screen for hours. Uninstalled and gave up after a couple of tries (Restarting/Reinstalling doesn't help).

There is a button at the bottom right that restarts the game with no warning. It seems like a pointless feature. I've accidentally hit it three times now when trying to change gear or mistaking it for the back button during inventory screens. The game plays and looks great. The balance between RPG roguelite dungeon crawling and town building hits all the right notes. I'll probably end up playing on PC instead. Without that reset button, this game gets 5 stars all day long.

Fun but buggy. I love the attention to detail in the animation, the play is (mostly) smooth, and I like the mix-up between adventure and shopkeeper. That being said, even with recommended touch navigation when the game steers the character for you, he gets stuck on items like the stove in the shop, he can't line up correctly with a doorway to go through, etc. Sometimes, you can't attack sand piles to get the items either. The ability to save manually would be nice, too. Still, addicting and fun.

Fun game, but crushingly buggy. I really enjoy the gameplay when it works, but the character repeatedly freezes, which requires a force quit and restart, often resulting in the loss of objects. Often he freezes in the middle of battle, so if you don't move fast enough to force quit, he dies, since everything else is still going. Also, nearly every object that gets "sent back" to the shop actually just completely disappears, often causing you to fail a quest you thought you had completed.

If Animal Crossing and Zelda had a lovechild, it would be named Moonlighter. Controls work well but inventory can be difficult to work with at times. Tutorials are brief so you're left to figure out a lot by trial and error but it's rewarding when you do. 1/2 dungeon crawl, 1/2 merchant / economy does a good job with both. Would definitely recommend.

I liked this game a lot and actually played it from start to finish which I don't do with most mobile games. It was entertaining, clever, and fun. I enjoyed the gameplay but thought the storyline could have been fleshed out a bit better. I found the story to be interesting and the bit of mystery involved was enticing enough but I thought the ending could have used a little work. I definitely would recommend this game still but I do agree with others about bugs and overheating of phone.

I can't believe I'm playing moonlighter on my phone, its pretty incredible, but the touch controls are garbage, specially the joystick controls feels unresponsive most times, which makes this awesome game almost to completely unplayable. 3 stars because I know the potential of game specially when you add external control support for this game. Maybe add a graphic option, as it stutters a little on my S21 but that is to be expected I guess. Keep up the good work and I'll surely bump this review

Tried to move some items, the first item disappeared, and it entirely broke the game for me. Couldn't move, couldn't rearrange items, couldn't place items at the shop. Quit and reloaded, same issue. Force closed the app and reloaded, I could walk again until I tried to place an item in a stand, whereupon I couldn't do anything again. Bricked my save entirely, somehow.

Would be fun, BUT freezes up forcing restart, bugs you into solid objects and walls, and can duplicate gear items which breaks their use. I'd like to recommend this game, but it's just too buggy and not worth playing due to how often you'll freeze 🥶. Feels like a low quality port to mobile because it is. Update: it's the familiars that break the game on mobile. DON'T use them and it should work fine.

Actually really like the game, but have come across some issues. When I make a new version of a weapon that I hace no me it makes "duplicates" and it's hard to find the real one. And now I've come across where I make a new one have that same issue and it gets rid of one of my other weapons. Kinda upsetting since I made it to the 3rd stage of a weapon for it to get disappear completely. Please fix these bugs.

I loved the game, even though it's not my type. I'd rate it 4.5 if I could. It loses a star because: 1) When viewing information about an item in a dungeon, closing the information page will discard the item into the mirror. 2) The mimic familiar is very buggy when storing cursed items. 3) A bugged enemy once pushed me outside of a room, and I couldn't get back in. 4) "New Game +" can be hard to find. 5) I never understood what causes the wanderer to show up (timer? number of rooms visited?)

Really fun. The problem is, it started crashing soon after i enter the 2nd dungeon, especially if i had a familiar equipped. It got more and more frequent. By the 2nd floor of the 3rd dungeon, it was completely unplayable. My best guess is, if you run out of bag space and have to leave items behind there are just too many assets for the game to manage as a mobile game.Support is no help at all.Got it on PC from a steam sale and it works fine so far. Mad i had to spend $5, happy it actually works

This is the third version of this game I own, it's literally my favorite video game. While I much prefer playing on PC or Console and using a controller, the way the controls are set up in this mobile port makes it like a nice and relaxing "mindless play while doing other things" type of game. Walk in a room and it basically has combat handled. Any other time I'd choose to not play this version, but if I'm away from home, bored or just need something to mindlessly do I'll still play this one.

I really love the concept and design of this game. But oh dear gosh is it buggy. Freezing, crashing, very long buffering when combining stacks of items, no warnings when you don't have room in your inventory for a weapon, and now I'm finding out that weapons duplicate when trying to switch slots which would be an awesome bug except that the dupes are unsellable and you can't fight with the originals... so confused....

Fun when functional, butwhen trying to switch or inspect your equipped gear it has an issue where it makes copies of your equipment, clogging up your inventory in a game centered around optimal inventory management. If you get rid of any of the copies it removes the original. The copies do not function. It will show an equipped weapon but will do no damage. Finally the MAIN ISSUE is that twice now I've progressed about 10 or 11 hours into the game just for it to fail to load when you next play.

This is the most fun game I've ever played but, the code is so buggy the dev should have let AI write it. Inventory rarely renders properly and the game will let you play for hours with awesome hard won rewards, and claim that it is saving, then crash or reload with an old save. You lose your progress and have to start all over. The game is unplayable due to the numerous bugs. Whoever ported this sucks so much, yet the game itself is so good, it's almost still fun to play anyway. - Iama Troll:(

Game breaking bug drags down potential greatness. Great graphics and art style, fun and varied mechanics but I (and many others) encountered a bug that breaks your ability to re-enter the dungeons, losing all your progress. Forum posts on this issue go back to 2021 before it was even ported to mobile OS's. A good game dev should support the entire lifecycle of their product, not just re-release a broken version again and again for different devices.
