A vibrant, fresh blend of rogue-like and store management games, with something for everyone. Aesthetically beautiful, narratively rich, extremely satisfying to play.
"Moonlighter" is an action RPG with shop management elements. During the day, you run your store in the village, setting prices and dealing with customers. At night, you explore dungeon levels, fighting monsters and gathering materials to craft better gear and stock your store. Balancing these two aspects is key to success.

Critic Reviews
Moonlighter Review
Selling piles of magical loot is just as fun as fighting for it in this hybrid shop sim and dungeon crawler that is let down only by some annoying bugs.
80%The daily grind --- Moonlighter review
Moonlighter’s original conceit blends shopkeeping with monster-slaying in a way that’s satisfying for most of its length. While both its combat and trading eventually get repetitive, the gorgeous graphics and pixel art make it a pleasant journey while it lasts. Unfortunately, your character’s quest comes to feel as shallow as the merchant’s life he wants to escape with its uninteresting goal and uninspired conclusion.

Moonlighter’s loop of combat, exploration, and sales is an engrossing one, with steps taken to keep players invested in every part of the game.
