The core gameplay is solid but there is a serious lack of content. I got 100% completion within 9.5 hours. There is a very limited pool of enemies and events so most runs are very similar. Also, the balance is all over the place with most battles being mindlessly easy with an occasional sharp spike in difficulty. The first section of the fourth map is so much more difficult than the others it feels like a different …

Very fun albeit short deckbuilder roguelike - extremely helpful developer. There were 2 instances of me reporting a broken achievement, and I got an answer within 2 hours telling me they would fix it within a day, and they did :D All the comments about this being a rip-off of Menace from the deep (I also reccomend this game) falls hollow, considering the developers are friends and promote each other.

it's an excellent game. I enjoyed it immensely. True that it's very much like "Menance from the deep", but it's much better in every way. The writing is also excellent, I enjoy multiple small stories, and not just mindlessly killing monsters like other deckbuilder games. Each characters are wildly different although some are significantly stronger than others (ehhemm Grizwald). Highly recommended. Some reviews say …

9/10 Bloody good roguelite game! Devs have put in tremendous effort and love from Sovereign Syndicate! Writing this after clearing the first act! Hooked for almost 3 hours on this! Combat is fun, difficulty scales with the level/act, character customization is amazing! The game art is TOP NOTCH, storyline reels you in and stage evinronments are beautifully rendered!

Strange assembles Black Cat, Taskmaster and Hunter's Moon as his four person party to save the kids. Baron Mordo is the mastermind and game master.
neutral · AI labelView post →So the start of this game was enjoyable. The first character unfortunately is probably the only one worth playing. When you unlock the rest and try them out they seem like the battles were not balanced for them at all and some of them can't even get done with a run without lots of grinding/investment. The game battles overall are either really easy to beat or impossible to do. Dots are overpowered and don't fall off over time. This breaks the game or makes fights impossible if you're on the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a lot like 'Menace From the Deep' but on steroids - better. Best part? Meta-upgrades - Menace was lacking in this department.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hunter’s Moon is a roguelite deckbuilder where the player must protect Victorian-era London from werewolves and other strange monsters. Combat will feel familiar to fans of other deckbuilders, while the progression of each run is very similar to Menace From The Deep. Combat • At the start of each turn you’ll randomly draw a few cards from your deck, which allow you to attack, defend, or perform special abilities such as applying status effects to yourself or an enemy. Cards cost energy…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Somewhere between Menace of the Deep's complexity and sometimes insane difficulty spikes, and this game's simplicity and boring, if easy, road to victory, there is probably a great game. This game is a dumbed down version of Menace w/ less story, easier progression, and it really doesn't take long to see just about everything the game has to offer. Which isn't much, even for a fan of Menace like I am. I would say pass or buy on deep discount, you'll finish almost all of it too quickly to really…

The game is super nice, i would recommend it, here is the details : GOOD : -Artworks like darkest dungeon, flat color/strong lines style. -4 characters all interesting to play and very different, very good point well done ! -The game isnt to much complicated. I really enjoy card game but sometimes they're ultra intricated, with a lot of useless effect. -Nearly no tutorial, player learn step by step naturally. And that's how all…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game and easy to understand. It feels like a mix between slay the spire and across the obelisk. It has some cool unique pathing. The only negative thing about this game is it came off as easy compared to the 2 games I just listed (won a run on my first try). A solid 8.5/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played the first Sovereign Syndicate adventure and the demo of Hunter's Moon, i really enjoy the steampunk atmosphere and Victorian London. This game is a roguelite deckbuilder (compared to the rpg with tarot cards of the first game) and I have managed to unlock the next agent after 2.5 hours, the missions are interesting and although some can be a little repeatitive i think it is worth the money and with the other agents you can continue the storyline. The artwork is interesting and the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think this game is okay overall. It isn't hard and the grind of going for 100% like in Menace of the deep is a lot shorter. It's fine for what it is but there are several pros and cons about this game that I should get into for anyone looking for a roguelite deckbuilder. Overall the artstyle is nice and the sound track isn't bad either. It's very stylized and that isn't a bad thing at all. Meta progression feels pretty good like it makes a massive difference in your power, but there are draw…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To be honest it was very boring and not engaging at all. I skipped all the story text because it was not interesting at all. So much grinding, repetition, and endless loops. The first 3 levels are doable, but the last 4th one is not doable at all, unless you are willing to repetitively grind for a whole bunch of days to try to level up your characters to try to take on the last 4th level. Regretting all the time wasted into this. Recommend investing your valuable time elsewhere.

positive · AI labelView post →It's a deckbuilder that takes elements from Menace From the Deep, Slay the Spire, and some art direction from Darkest Dungeon. The gameplay is similar to Menace, but instead of 3-4 rounds using the same deck and relics, Hunter's Moon breaks it into four separate areas that force the player to restart a deck and relics each time. This eliminates the ability of breaking the game with too many relics and/or bloating a deck over a long game. In theory, this should make things more challenging and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately pretty poorly balanced. Most encounters are either a complete joke and then a few that are completely unwinnable are sprinkled in. From what I saw, there doesn't seem to be much depth either. Almost all the cards I saw are just "Deal X damage" or "Gain X Block". Seems to be pretty grindy to unlock other characters too. Shame cause the visuals/setting seems pretty cool.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hunter's Moon (1987) A tricky one to describe, Hunter's Moon is an action game that's a tad more complex than your average arcade clone. The goal of each level is to grab a number of stars, but these are behind destructible barriers that are constantly being rebuilt. 1/3
neutral · AI labelView post →Hunter’s Moon: A Sovereign Syndicate Adventure is a standalone, card-driven tactical spin-off set in the world of Sovereign Syndicate. Instead of the original’s RPG structure, this entry focuses on run-based progression, party combat, and branching encounters presented through a choose-your-own-adventure-style card system. Pros ✔️ The card-based encounters are a great fit - The choose-your-own-adventure structure works really well here and makes each run feel reactive rather than scripted. ✔️…

STS has countless clones on Steam, and it's rare that you find a card game truly breaking out of the formula. But by jove, they done it here. Hunter's Moon takes the idea one step further by adding a heavy narrative element - placing the deck in just the right order to make sure you survive is often more important than just winning battles. Plus, great voice acting…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Changing my review to positive (if there was a mixed one, that would be perfect!) solely do to the fact that it seems that devs cares and there are always bonus points for that. I will give it another go as indeed giving negative after 1 hour of play seems harsh Feels like much less complex reskin of "Menace from the deep". Difficulty is underwhelming, first run and first win is not something i would expect from game like this. Again - i dont have anything against re-using some assets and…

neutral · AI labelView post →In the week since I’ve gotten Hunter’s Moon, I’ve put more than 30 hours into it. While it has a few fun twists on common rogue-like deckbuilder mechanics and a solid theme, I suspect it grabbed me because of how powerful the characters feel when they revisit old locations or find the right synergies. But initially, I had mixed feelings about the game, because the first few locations seemed too easy to provide a sense of accomplishment. I kept waiting for an optional way to ramp up the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →From what I read, just like the original Sovereign Syndicate game was heavily borrowing its gameplay elements from Disco Elysium, this one borrows heavily from Menace of the Deep. Having played neither of them as of writing this review, a sucker for anything steampunk and Victorian fantasy, who very much enjoyed the atmosphere and lore of the first Sovereign Syndicate game, for me this game was an instabuy. Very different genre from the original, but nonetheless very fun, if a little bit short…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gameplay was generally meh, art was decent though. None of that ended up mattering, because after a few days and four hours of gameplay, as well as multiple attempts to uninstall/reinstall it never actually started up again. Just locked before even getting to the main screen every time. That's some unprofessional ♥♥♥♥.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had a great time with Hunter's Moon. By 13.5 hours I'd unlocked all the characters, most of their talents, and beat the final boss. I'll probably play for another 3-5 hours. If additional content is released, I'll be back after that, too. As other reviews have said, this game has a lot of similarities with Menace From The Deep. I loved that game, so this is a good thing for me. Here are some key differences... There's a slight theme variation. While it's still quite Lovecrafty, HM takes…

It has a foundation from another deckbuilder called Menace from the Deep, but carries itself independently such that has its own unique enemies, story and cards. There is so much to love here - from the Lovecraftian theme, to the fantastic voice acting, the number and variety of events, to the sheer number of enemies, to the enemy design, as well as the challenging bosses. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with this game. If you enjoyed Menace…

I love the Victorian steampunk atmosphere and creepy Lovecraft-style monsters. It's cool how you can use location cards to choose your path, deciding whether to push into tougher fights, resupply, or hit events. I can't wait to get further into the game and try out the different agents to see how they feel. The tarot cards/relics hint at a lot of build variety and “just one more run”…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of those that define good, but not great. It's like any number of deck building rogue lites that you've played before. So the backdrop of this one is you get 1 of 4 different characters that allow you to play as with 4 unique deck styles. Good. The story. I actually really like the way the story is presented. I think the quest system going through each of it's 4 maps is pretty neat (The last map is just the final boss run) I think they do a good job establishing the lore and give…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very poor game. Very boring, and very amateurish. Expected a lot, lot better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a great idea having the final boss's attack pattern be to stun you first and then follow up with 150 damage while you have no control of your character.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the best looking awful roguelite deckbuilder I've ever seen. All of the checklist items you'd want in a game, each implemented in a way that makes no sense in ANY card game, much less together.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Solid game. But not much unique stuff. A lot of mechanics were taken from "Menace from the Deep" and imroved. Also music and voice acting are quite good, but sometimes Ukrainian subtitles are wrong after boss fights
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Copies Menace from the Deep to such a degree that I was certain it's the same dev (it isn't). Though at the same time improves on almost every mechanic, so still highly recommend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I picked this up after playing "Menace from the Deep" (it was recommended) and I was really pleased with the game. Addictive gameplay loop, cool cards and upgrades etc. I quite liked the variety of missions - gave me something to keep coming back to play. Characters were pretty decent if a little archetypal. I couldn't find fault with much of anything - except H.U.G.O. - H.U.G.O. is about as useful in battle as a marzipan sword.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is absolutely amazing, it's a real shame that is let down a bit by the pacing... I completed all 4 acts and only lost 1 run - it made it a bit easy and ruined the fun of the replayability a lot - it would be nice if they'd made you work harder to get through the act and require a bit more meta progression to do so, and potentially being able to use all the characters a bit before getting to the end. I think just a little more time from the devs and it would have been a true epic game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game. Likely not a lot of replayability after you finish the game, but the game is really fun so far. I'll get my money's worth.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This can be a fun few hours, not many as the game lacks a hook for the replay value, at least for myself. Pros: Fun deckbuilder that allows you to create some fun combos, ie. the last boss killed himself on my run thanks to my ability to stack debuffs . The art hits that eldritch scratch. The story is ok Cons : Short, if you don't go for completionist type playthrough First character feels very weak compared to the second one that you unlock, with which I "steamrolled" the rest…

The graphics are so pretty, the creatures are fantastical, and the combat/mechanics are easy to understand. store.steampowered.com/app/3877790/...
positive · AI labelView post →For those who enjoy Across The Obelisk Or Menace From The Deep, Hunter's Moon is a superb card deck turn-based game. The devs present mission structure in a very clever way, offering plenty of variety in objectives and playthroughs. By the time the title "Moon" mechanic comes into play, the pleasantness of the ease of the game has evolved into something more challenging. A fun, fair card-battler experience, hopefully with more to come in the future from the devs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Highly Recommend!!! Fantastic game! Think Darkest Dungeon meets Slay the Spire. Tough decisions, tight deck building, and brutal combat enounters. The art is stunning, and the voice acting brings the Lovecraftian atmosphere to life. The Tarot cards add a mix of strong buffs and horrible debuffs that leave you questioning if it's stupidly strong, or it's gonna ruin your run lol. I'm still early / mid game, but it's easily my favorite roguelite game of the year!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite enjoyable game. Similar enough to Menace from the Deep to be different, but also similar enough to be easily playable. A couple of minor issues (the Lichen Elite in the woods either needs to lose the regen for its spawns or lose the amount and frequency with which they are generated, or perhaps both. Lower level builds can't cope with it.) But in all, nicely done from an artistic standpoint and the game itself has plenty to do. Looking forward to playing more.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super fun deckbuilder. The Victorian Steampunk art style is honestly incredible and it looks so good in motion. All four characters play totally differently, so the runs don't get stale. If you're into roguelites for the vibes and strategy, definitely pick this up.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is such an insanely fun game! I'm always looking for a great, straight-forward deck builder that is stylish, fun to play, and has a lot of variety and this game absolutely hits. I want DLC for this stat! I can't wait to play more of it!
