Moon Hunters - Review @ WGTC

We Got This Covered reviewed the action RPG Moon Hunters:

If last year the indie scene was, once again, dominated by roguelikes and survival games, 2016 seems to be all about hacking ‘n’ slashing through worlds of high fantasy rendered in glorious pixel art. While release dates for the likes of Death’s Gambit, EITR, and Below remain hazy, the first of a gorgeous bunch is already upon us with Moon Hunters, and, if Kitfox Games’ sophomore effort is any indication, it’s going to be a vintage year.

An action RPG for up to four players (playing locally or online), Moon Hunters‘ surface simplicity belies a host of original ideas and some refreshingly oddball mechanics. It is, also, an exceedingly hard game to describe. The setup is conventional enough: on the night of a major festival, the moon, worshipped as a goddess by your tribe, fails to rise. You have just three days to seek out neighboring tribes, explore nearby ruins and temples, and, perhaps even contact the dreaded Sun Cult to find information about her disappearance.

[...]

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.

Score: 4/5 - Great
