The story of "Moon Hunters" is a blend of myth and personal narrative, revolving around the mysterious disappearance of the moon goddess and the player's choices that shape their character's journey. While some players appreciate the depth and replayability offered through different character perspectives and evolving storylines, others find the narrative repetitive and lacking clarity, often feeling disconnected from the overarching plot. Overall, the game is praised for its charming art and music, but critiques highlight a need for more substantial storytelling and character development.
“Moon Hunters is an enjoyable story about the mysterious disappearance of the moon goddess, leading to a state of decay in the world.”
“The story is written in a really interesting way, where it drip feeds you info, making you more curious each run.”
“Being able to look at your previous characters and read the story that became of your choices is so cool, and I've found that one of my main motivations to keep playing is to keep unlocking more constellations and characters!”
“The story is very typical; the moon goddess has disappeared, and the sun cult is responsible.”
“The characters have one paragraph of backstory, and you build up their personal story/journey through your actions in each part of the roguelike; everything else concerning the story was mired in clichés or empty.”
“There are a few mechanics about this game that are pretty cool, but unfortunately it's all buried under a story that seems pointless in the end and a game that's too short to understand what's really going on.”

70%Moon Hunters Review
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.
