  • The pixelated art style adds a nostalgic feel and is visually appealing.
  • The game offers a short but engaging experience, making it a great entry point for newcomers to the Metroidvania genre.
  • Luna's use of various arrows for different tasks adds a strategic element to gameplay.
  • Combat can be frustrating due to janky mechanics, including clunky animations and a short melee range.
  • The lack of i-frames after getting hit and the design of some bosses can lead to cheap deaths.
  • Progress saving is poorly implemented, as it relies on the registry rather than a more user-friendly system.

    Luna's Light features an intriguing story set in a charming world, enhanced by a side quest system that deepens exploration and character interactions.
