Moonlighter is a game that presents as something potentially complex, but is actually fairly basic and there isn't much mechanical progression beyond what is presented at the start of the game. Combat, while differentiated between five unique weapon types, is straightforward once you find a weapon you like. Similarly the shopkeeping system really just boils down to dialing in on the items max selling price and catching the occasional thief who wanders in. The game suffers mostly from a lack of progression hooks and later game content. The content here though is well polished and I enjoyed the basic gameplay loop enough to see it through to the end. A good simple game, but if you're looking for something with lots of depth perhaps look elsewhere.
