Moonstone: A Hard Days Knight

Probably one of the oldest examples of hack and slash, an action-RPG full of humor and, above all, a lot of fun to play. Decades after I still launched it to play with friends. Explore a map, similar to a board game, littered with colorful enemies (ratmen... Damn...) that you must eviscerate with your sword to steal their loot and perhaps get your hands on one of the four keys that, once collected, open the way to the final boss. 3 other knights are in the race and are fighting you to steal the hard-won keys. The game allows you to play alone (the other knights becoming NPCs) or up to 4 players (a rarity at the time!) in turn-based mode, but also, and this is where it gets interesting, simultaneously if you decide to face one of the other players. Another innovative idea (for a game from 1991 of course) : enemies become more numerous and resilient depending on your skill level and... depending on the moon phases! As much as gore usually bores me, here it's a joy! The RPG aspect allows the game to last, and even if the game is short (it can be completed in an hour), you only want one thing at the end: kill more trolls.

One of the most unique games ever made. Read the manual before playing, configure your controller or keyboard well (joysticktype=fcs if you want to use the D-pad and ctrl+f1 to set it up), watch some gameplay online to have some idea what you're doing and have fun! It's a hard and brutal but very rewarding game.

Great game from yhe past. Simple formula but extremly addictive game.

Absolutly classic and the whole vibe of this game <3 Stunning, iconic, 10/10
