Its an ok game. Gets boring very quickly as there isn't much enemy variety and every run comes to a point where you outscale each enemy/boss which means the final boss is a joke. Other than that the different story/lore each run is the only glimmer of hope keeping you engaged with the game. combat is bad, very simple and boring, stand still to attack/use spells and run/dash if not stuck in the attacking animation. …

I've seen other reviews on here, and the thing I realise is people are complaining about the game because of the single player. This game was absolutely made to play MULTIPLAYER! It is a very fun multiplayer experience. I played online coop and the repeating game play is fun because each play through you unlock new characters, new story endings, collecting the recipes and constellations is really fun too when you …

Developer patched the game to have LAN multiplayer after Unity shut down their servers They deserve a positive review and praise for not abandoning their players

I usually play this on coop when friends come over, and it's really fun! No two runs are ever the same. Particularly impressive to me is that, even though it's been released over 9 years ago, the devs just added LAN coop support to the game, after having had to remove online play. This is such a good show of love and care, especially for such a small title, I can't put into words how much respect they just got from …

70% of the 178 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Moon Hunters. The complaint that keeps coming up: combat feels simple, static, and unrewarding. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Moon Hunters has garnered mixed reception, holding an aggregate score of 62/100 on Metacritic for the PC version of the game. Sam Wachter of RPGamer gave the game a 4/5, calling the game's writing "gorgeous" and the world "atmospheric". She also praised the game's soundtrack and overall gameplay, but criticized its lack of online co-op and the fact that it was not as fun playing it in singleplayer. She also called the game's length "too short". Davis Cox of Kill Screen scored the game 65/100, saying it "nobly aims for the stars", but that the gameplay is unbalanced with repetitive and "overpowered" moves, though the game's story makes up for this. Edge Magazine gave the game a score of…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want so badly to love this game. It's got original and bright art, the soundtrack is excellent, a lot of the random characters and story beats are interesting, and the idea of developing your character into some kind of trope they'll be remembered by is clever. Not to mention, but couch coop games feels increasingly rare, and when this game launched roguelike RPGs were only just picking up steam. It all sounds so promising! But the game falls apart in its mechanics. Playable characters are…

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm not much of an enthusiast of roguelikes, frankly. The whole premise of always playing randomized levels and restarting anew after dying causes me some degree of annoyance. I like the idea of carving out significant feats in the simulation and obtaining enduring benefits — in other words, evolving my avatar and the world around him in a perennial fashion is important. Some of these games are quite unforgiving, while others offer ways to permanently upgrade playable characters for future…

neutral · AI labelView post →Moon Hunters seems to get a lot of shade for being a rogue-like game and having the story be as it is. I actually quite like the idea. It makes sense to have different runs while keeping the things you’ve unlocked previously, since you are reshaping your story with each run. That’s the fun part of folklore and old stories: details change with each telling. That’s the game’s whole gimmick and I think having this game be a rogue-like fits seamlessly with that idea.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Couch co-op, split-screen, hotseat; Kingdom Two Crowns is nice. So is Darksiders Genesis, For The King, Moon Hunters, Trine, etc. Always on the lookout for other good co-op couch games, especially with a good story, but I feel that they are few and far between. :(
neutral · AI labelView post →I am disappointed. They removed Multiplayer. It was so nice to have a relaxing fun game with friends, and now that's not possible.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →VGC Day 2: Underrated Moon Hunters Ranging from 6/10-8/10 ratings, Moon Hunters is that game for me. I love it. Simple combat + short isn't always a bad thing (it's enchanting and mystical to me). Maybe underappreciated is a better term. 😊 #gamingsky #gamechallenge #promosky

Gameplay isn't intricate... ..but it's also deep/profound. I think if you look at it as a piece of art, you might get it. It's mystical, ethereal - - -
positive · AI labelView post →Don't listen to any negative comments regarding this game. If you are looking for a typical rouge like then maybe this isn't for you but the beauty of this game is the countless and numerous random interactions! Not everything will be available in your first playthrough and that's the very point of it! My partner and I love this game and even after hours of game play we still are discovering new things and new options! Definitely a fun date night game with just enough fighting to keep the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fundamentally a nice attempt at a rogue like. It's one of the early ones. But it feels like the devs were overwhelmed by the task to make it not only complete but good. This game would need overhaul in many areas before i could recommend it. I won't make a list unless someone asks. It's just too much.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know if i should be playing this 10 years after it's release, but I found it pretty buggy. When you cheer at the cheer panel, it only displays a broken website link. also, my so and me chose a map because it had a merchant and a strange statue, but when it generated the map, they were not there, which was pretty disappointing. the game has its way of luring us with interesting things and immediately blocking us from accessing it... but it's very appealing, I wish they continue to update…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun casual couch game. Been a nice family game to play with my 7 year old son and wife. You build stats through dialogue, camp actions and gem collection. Each run lasts about an hour or two depending on how much time you spend optimizing. During each run you unlock features that are beneficial or interesting in the next run such as characters, boons and story lines. I'm not sure how fun the game is solo, but as a couch co-op with family or friends its pretty dope.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if you want a new little game to play, play Moon Hunters, it’s so neat and you can play it with people or solo :) equally good both ways!
positive · AI labelView post →This game had so much potential but DO NOT BUY. I played coop and even that did not save this game. We it beat our first try and laughed because "that was it?". We gave it another shot with different characters on a second run and it didn't really justify the time spent playing. I imagine even the devs would say this game is unfinished. The playable characters pixel art designs and combat style variations are great concepts, that's about it. Enemy variation is very lacking and the AI is…

And everyone is trying to get it back. The various events are pretty weird. Like some person you dont recognize comes dressed up in some attire and asks you a weird question. You are always put on a spot and have to make a choice withuot knowing what is the meaning of those choices. It's pretty weird really. You cant change your weapons.…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was a lot of fun, and a great time with friends. It's absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, I can't recommend due to how buggy it is. My first couple playthroughs went mostly fine, although the constellations at the end never made sense. I got pretty tired of it crashing and overall just not working correctly. I don't expect to pick it up again unless it gets some more work, which doesn't seem very likely. I would really like to be able to explore the lore and story more but it's just…

Played this on Playstation and missed playing it so rebought it on Steam. This game is about storytelling old myths and how they would change little by little each time the legend was told. Each play through you habe a chance to unlock more events, story, features and playable…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do you want to spend 15 euro on ~4 hours of alright gameplay? TLDR: This game is unfinished. Its a cool premise in a cool setting, but the execution is bad and lacks a lot of common game design praxis that would have made it enjoyable to play for more then a couple runs. The bugs are annoying, the characters are unbalanced and the general gameplay is uninspired. For a game that seemingly is all about replayability, this game offers little to non outside the first runs playing with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok listen. I've played this game maybe 100 hours on my Xbox and wanted it on Steam too. It's a super interesting game with a really nice story. If you're here for gameplay though I would recommend another game. Sadly this is best experienced as a neat novel type game. The gameplay isn't that bad just not the focus. The story is so good and I think manages to make up for it though.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Me and my partner are in love with this game. The beautiful art style, the combat, the character designs, the dialogue, the possibilities- it's all so charming and FEELS GOOD to play. It's a lovely game to just pick up and play. The BEST PART?: CO-OP. Sitting in my partner's lap playing this game when we first started dating was so fun and is such a core memory for us!! We did several runs of this game and love it to bits- still haven't seen all the game has to offer yet either! We truly…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I absolutely adore this game, one of the first ever games I got hooked on so it's very dear to me. You absolutely cannot play this on your own, but there is local and online co-op. Art and soundtrack are amazing though I'm not going to act like the story or gameplay is phenomenal, it can be quite janky, and there are only so many encounters, but it's still a good time! You build stats at your camp every night and choose somewhere on the map to explore during the day, there's shops where you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just a mediocre roguelite, but it's rather fun as a couch co-op campaign game and very cheap on sale. Here are some of my thoughts about Moon Hunters: * Somewhat lore rich, but I never got attached to either the story or characters due to short duration of each run. * Few endings can be difficult to obtain without using a guide. * There's not much progression or new stuff after 5 runs. * I really like that there are 7 playable characters, with various roles and complexity. Roa can be tricky…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I owned this game prior to purchasing it on Steam. It's a quaint little thing. The mechanics aren't anything to write home about, but the world and especially the soundtrack keep me coming back time and time again. It's the perfect game to play if you want to enjoy some nice atmosphere and empty your mind.

positive · AI labelView post →This game has potential but is unfinished. Its main flaw is that it's supposed to be about choices, but choices mean nothing when the outcomes are totally disconnected from the choices made. For example: in my run, my daughter's character stole a piglet, but my character ended up with it as an animal companion. My daughter's character chose mischievous options, but in the final character summaries, my character and my girlfriend's character had bad reputations and my daughter's character had a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is unplayable in online Multiplayer. It usually crashes during loading screens and forces you to restart the game and replay the whole area, sometimes to just get stuck on the same loading screen. This is an issue that has persisted since launch... so many years later there's no excuse that it's still not working. However there are other indicators of shoddy coding throughout the game, for instance: - you don't have to actually play the game, to progress at times - when prompted of…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Moon Hunters has an appealing and interesting lore surround it's world. Most of it is already established and it doesn't fumble over itself by unnecessarily expounding to the player the workings of it's world. This is most of the time, to it's detriment. While freeing the player from a convoluted narrative, the random events and little story dialogue doesn't really do much to explain anything. The gameplay loop is lacking, while the idea is certainly there, there just is not enough to keep many…
